INSTALLATION OF
WINDOWS 10
Connect a blank USB flash drive or insert a blank writable DVD. You can install Windows 10 by creating a bootable USB flash drive or DVD that contains the Windows 10 installation files. You'll need a USB flash drive that's at least 8GB, or any blank DVD to get started.[1]
- (^) If you already have Windows 10 installed on the PC and just want to reinstall it, it'll be easiest to reinstall it from within Windows 10 instead of creating installation media.
- (^) If you want to upgrade from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, you won't need to create an installation disc or drive. However, you will need to follow most of this method to start the upgrade.

. This is the official download
site for Windows 10.
Click the Download tool now. This is a blue button in the middle of the page. This downloads the Media Creation Tool, which you'll use to create your installation media (or start your upgrade).
Click Accept to accept the license. It's in the bottom- right corner of the window.
Select "Create installation media" and click OK. This option lets you create a Windows installation disc or drive that will work on any compatible PC, not just the one you're using now. If you're updating your PC from an earlier version of Windows, select Upgrade this PC now instead, and then follow the on-screen instructions to install Windows 10. You're done!
Choose an installation type and click Next. An ISO file is a type of file that can be burned to a DVD, so choose that option if you plan to create a DVD. Otherwise, choose the USB flash drive option.
Create your installation media. The steps are a little different depending on what you're doing:[4] Flash drive: Select your flash drive from the list, click Next, and wait for the installation files to install. When the process is complete, click Finish. DVD/ISO: Click Save to save the ISO file to your computer—it may take a while because the file is large and has to be downloaded. Once downloaded, you'll see a progress screen that monitors the download. When the download is complete, click Open DVD burner on the "Burn the ISO file to a DVD" screen, select your DVD burner, and then click Burn to create your DVD.
