Hey guys, after I finish my build, how do I install windows 10 pro 64bit onto my PC? Preferably step-by-step directions. THANKS!!
Learn how to properly clean your Windows 10 installation from this guide.
You’ll need to build a USB installation disk to proceed. Follow these steps carefully:
Start by visiting the official Microsoft site and downloading the Windows 10 installer. Click “download tool now” and accept the license terms.
Once downloaded, launch the tool and choose “create installation media for another pc.” Then pick the appropriate edition of Windows 10—make sure it matches your language settings and that you select a 64-bit x64 version.
Insert a USB flash drive with at least 8GB capacity. Ensure it’s empty beforehand, as the system will erase its contents during setup. Click next and choose “USB Flash Drive.” Browse to your selected drive from the list, and begin the download process.
The installation may take some time depending on your internet speed and connection quality. After the file finishes downloading, it will start formatting your drive. The progress bar might seem unusual; it reaches 50% before actual copying begins. This phase can be lengthy, especially with slower USB drives.
Once complete, you’ll receive a bootable USB that you can use on your new computer. The instructions for this step are detailed in the provided guide, so follow them closely.
Remember, after installation, remove any existing partitions from the main drive and install Windows to the unallocated space. This ensures optimal performance and stability.
