How to install Windows 10

Once you’ve booted your computer from the Windows 10 installer USB drive,
DVD, or ISO, wait a few seconds. Then, you’ll see a quick message on the
screen stating that you must press any key to continue. Do what the
message says, and the Windows 10 logo is shown while the installation
wizard is loaded.
The Windows 10 Setup first asks what language, time and currency format,
and keyboard input method you want to use. Make the selections you prefer
and press Next.

Click or tap Install now to start the Windows 10 installation.


The setup takes a couple of seconds to start and asks you to enter the
product key for Windows 10. Type it and press Next. If you’re reinstalling
Windows 10, click or tap that you do not have a product key, and your copy
is automatically activated later. You can also “clean install” Windows 10
without providing the key if you click or tap “I don’t have a product key.”

Choose which Windows 10 edition you want to install: from Windows 10


Home to Windows 10 Education, all the way to Windows 10 Pro. If you need
to know more about this operating system’s different editions and versions,

You are shown the Windows 10 license terms. Read them if you wish and
have the time. Then, check the “I accept the license terms” box and
press Next.

You’re asked for the type of installation you want to perform. To make a
clean install of Windows 10, click or tap “Custom: Install Windows only
(advanced).” Otherwise, choose “Upgrade: Install Windows and keep files,
settings, and applications.”

You’re asked to select where you want to install Windows. Choose the drive
or partition that you want to use for Windows 10 and press Next. If you need
to configure your partitions in a specific way, don’t hesitate to use the tools
available for creating new partitions, deleting old ones, formatting, and so on
before clicking Next.

TIP: Did you know that you can also install Windows 10 on a USB drive that
you can carry around with you and use on any computer? It’s
called Windows To Go and this guide explains all the steps required to make
your own Windows 10 USB drive: How to install Windows 11 & Windows 10
on a USB drive (Windows To Go).

The setup wizard takes some minutes to copy all the required files, and then
it installs Windows 10. It also installs updates if it detects that it can connect
to the internet. On a computer with a solid-state drive, this step is
surprisingly quick.
Once the installation is done, the Windows 10 setup automatically reboots at
least once, to run the first-time configuration scripts. Wait for the process to
finish. If you see the prompt below, you can skip the waiting by
pressing Restart now.

While you wait, Windows 10 shows you the status of its “Getting
ready” activities.
During this installation step, you may witness a couple of restarts. Don’t
worry, it’s all part of the process.

How to customize your Windows 10 installation


(setup steps)
After the reboots are finished, Windows 10 asks you to choose the region
where you live. Select your country from the list, and then click or tap Yes.

You’re asked to confirm the keyboard layout that you want to use. Choose
the keyboard you prefer from the list, and press Yes.
If you need to use a secondary keyboard layout, you can add a second one
during the next step. Otherwise, choose Skip. You can also add new
keyboards after installing Windows 10, using the instructions from this
guide: How to change the keyboard language on Windows 10.

If you have a working internet connection, Windows 10 checks if there are


any updates available. If that’s the case, it downloads and installs them. You
don’t need to do anything during this step. Just wait.
