Installing Windows 10 is a relatively straightforward process. Here's a general guide to help you through the installation:
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:
1. A valid Windows 10 installation media: You can obtain this in the form of a USB drive or a DVD-ROM. If you don't have one, you can create a bootable USB drive using the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool from Microsoft's official website.
2. A valid Windows 10 product key: You'll need this to activate your copy of Windows 10. Make sure you have it handy.
Now, follow these steps to install Windows 10:
1. Insert the installation media: Plug in the USB drive or insert the DVD-ROM containing the Windows 10 installation files into your computer.
2. Restart your computer: Make sure the computer is connected to a power source, and then restart it. As it boots up, press the appropriate key (usually Del, F2, F12, or Esc) to access the BIOS/UEFI settings.
3. Configure the boot order: In the BIOS/UEFI settings, navigate to the "Boot" or "Boot Order" section. Set the boot priority to start from the installation media (USB or DVD-ROM) first. Save the changes and exit the BIOS/UEFI settings.
4. Windows 10 setup: Your computer should now boot from the installation media. The Windows 10 setup screen will appear. Select your language, time and currency format, and keyboard layout preferences. Click "Next" to proceed.
5. Install Windows 10: Click on the "Install now" button to start the installation process. If prompted, enter the product key that came with your copy of Windows 10.
6. Accept the license terms: Read and accept the license terms and conditions to continue.
7. Choose installation type: Select the type of installation you prefer. If you're installing Windows 10 on a new hard drive or replacing an existing operating system, choose "Custom." If you're upgrading from an older version of Windows, choose "Upgrade."
8. Partition and format the drive (Custom installation): If you selected the "Custom" installation type, you'll be presented with a list of available drives. Select the drive where you want to install Windows 10 and click "Next." If needed, you can create or delete partitions and format the drive during this step.
9. Wait for the installation: Windows 10 will now install on your computer. The installation process may take some time, so be patient.
10. Set up Windows 10: Once the installation is complete, your computer will restart. Follow the on-screen prompts to personalize your settings, such as region, language, account setup, and privacy options.
11. Activate Windows 10: After the setup is complete, you'll need to activate Windows 10 using your product key. Enter the key when prompted or go to the "Activation" section in the Windows settings to activate it later.
That's it! You've successfully installed Windows 10 on your computer. Remember to install device drivers, update your software, and customize your settings as per your preferences.
