Introduction |
Windows 10 is Microsoft’s newest client operating
system. In this article I will show you how to make a
clean Windows 10 installation on your computer.

|
Before you install Windows 10, make sure your computers
meets the following Systems Requirements:
-
Processor: 1 GHz or
faster, single core or multicore
-
RAM: 1 GB for the
32-bit version or 2 GB for the 64-bit
version
-
Free hard disk
space: 16 GB for the 32-bit version or
20 GB for the 64-bit version
-
Graphics card:
Microsoft DirectX 9 compatible graphics
card
-
A display with a
minimum resolution of 800x600 pixels
Boot your
computer or virtual machine using the installation DVD,
USB flash drive, or the ISO file, with the Windows 10
installation. As soon as you boot, you see a quick
message on the screen stating that you need to press any
key to continue. Press a key on your keyboard, and the
installation wizard is shown.
-
Once you're in the Setup
program, select your language, time and currency
format and input method, and click Next

-
Click the
Install Now button

-
Type the product key
and click Next

Accept the license terms and click Next

-
You are asked for the installation
type you want to perform. As you are installing
Windows 10 from scratch, click or tap Custom:
Install Windows only (advanced)ss

-
What you'll see in the next screen
depends on whether you're installing on a blank
disk, or whether your disk has had an operating
system installed on it previously. If it's a blank
disk, you'll be shown a drive with 'Unallocated
Space', so just select it and click Next.
Windows will then start the installation process.
If your disk has had an operating system on it
previously, or if you have more than one hard disk
in your PC, you'll be shown a screen with several
disks and partitions. The disks will be called
'Drive 0', 'Drive 1' and so on, and if a disk has
previously had a Windows installation it will be
split into partitions with labels such as
'Recovery', 'System', 'MSR' and 'Primary'.

-
Installing Windows will start. The
setup takes some minutes to copy all the required
files and then installs the Windows 10 operating
system. It also installs updates, if it detects that
it can connect to the internet.

-
Your machine will restart multiple
times , if you see the message
Press a key on your keyboard during the
restarts, don't press any key, ignore this message
and keep the computer continues its setup. Pressing
any key will cause the pause to start the setup from
point 1


-
After the reboots are finished, you
are greeted by Cortana. She helps you configure your
Windows 10 installation. Listen to what she has to
say before moving forward. When you interact with
Cortana, you can use the mouse and keyboard, the
touchscreen (if you have one), or your voice, if you
have a microphone connected to your computer.

Cortana asks you to choose the region where you
live. Select it from the list, and then click
Yes. Alternatively, if you prefer, speak to Cortana
and say what your region is, or confirm if she got
it right.

-
Choose the keyboard layout that you
want to use from the list and click Yes

If you need to use a secondary keyboard layout, you
can add a second one during the next step.
Otherwise, choose Skip or say No to Cortana.

-
You are asked to confirm the ownership of your
Windows 10 device. If you are its owner, select
Set up for personal use . If the
device belongs to an organization (for example, the
company you work at), select Set up for an organization, and you can use
your business account to sign in and access your
resources. Then, press Next.

-
You are asked to sign in with your
Microsoft account. Enter your credentials and click
Sign in. If at the previous step, you
selected to set the PC for an organization, you are
asked how you want to connect Windows to your
organization. Either way, enter your sign-in
details.
Enter your account and click Next. If
you don't have one, you can let setup help you
create an account by clicking Create
account.
the next page will ask you to enter your email
password. type it and click on Next
If you do not want to use a Microsoft account, you
can also choose to create and use an offline account
on your PC, also known as a local user account. To
do that, click or tap on the Offline account link
at the bottom left of the sign-in screen.
If you chose to create an offline account, Microsoft
tries to convince you that a Microsoft account is
better. If you still want the offline account, press
Maybe later at the next step.


-
At this step, the Windows 10 setup asks whether you
want to create a PIN for faster access to your
system. Press Create PIN and enter a PIN code for
quick access, then repeat it. Click or tap OK to
continue.


-
At the next step, you are asked to link your phone
and PC, using your phone number. If you want this
link to be enabled, you must select your country
code, type your phone number and press Send. You
receive an SMS with the download link for Cortana or
Microsoft Launcher, on your smartphone. To move
forward, press Next. You can also
skip this step and choose Do it later

-
Now setup will ask you if you want to protect your
files with
OneDrive. OneDrive is the name given to Microsoft’s
cloud services. Microsoft provides OneDrive for
people to store and exchange data online. Microsoft
users can access it at any time at the OneDrive
website. If you want to use OneDrive click
Next, if you dont't want to do this now,
you can click on Only save files on this PC

-
Now you get to choose whether you want Cortana to be
your personal assistant. You can also set whether
you want to let Cortana respond to “Hey Cortana” by
checking or unchecking this option.

-
The final configuration step is all about your
privacy settings. On the “Choose privacy settings
for your device” screen, select whether you want to
enable or disable features like Location, Diagnostic
data, Find my device, Speech recognition, Inking &
typing, and Tailored experiences.
We recommend that you read carefully what each of
these options does, and turn on only those you feel
comfortable with.

-
Windows 10 takes a while to prepare your computer or
device, your apps, and all the settings.

When it is done, you are logged into Windows 10, and
you can view the Desktop. Congratulations, you have
installed Windows 10 on your PC, all by yourself!
