The developers of Windows 10 have done a lot of work to fix the identified shortcomings and inconveniences that were inherent in the G8. And about the number of innovations, you can write a voluminous article, what we will not do now, but we will proceed to the task set in today's review - installing Windows 10 from scratch.
In the vastness of the network there are a lot of instructions explaining to the user how to install the top ten, but almost all are limited to similar content and the absence of some important features.
How much does a new operating system cost
Oddly enough, but non-commercial Windows usage 10 absolutely free. Computers on which the licensed “seven” and “eight” are installed can also be updated without requiring a penny from their owners, but only an hour or two of free time and access to the Internet.
If you are satisfied with an unlicensed “top ten”, no one forbids you to download one of several dozens of author's assemblies common on torrent trackers with pre-configuration (garbage removal, integration system components), since the acquisition of licenses for software in our country is not very popular.
What's new in the "top ten"
Before installing Windows 10, you need to familiarize yourself with its features in order to conclude that you need to update the operating system. Let's briefly go through the main changes that the "ten" has acquired.
- The presence of the new Edge browser, as opposed to the next edition of the buggy and impractical IE. The new Internet browser noticeably beats Internet Explorer in most key indicators, although it is not popular with users.
- During the life of Windows 10, it was possible to fix most of the serious bugs and shortcomings, which Microsoft has been doing for almost a year of running its system on user computers. Almost all driver and software compatibility issues have also been resolved, so even older applications should work fine in the new environment using compatible launchers.
- DirectX12 support. Although no one has yet switched to the new API, it is only a matter of time. Presence itself new version technology points to the prospects in 3D modeling and the gaming industry.
- The new tool is ported from mobile operating systems to Windows 10. It provides the ability to perform quick actions like on a smartphone, notifies you of new events and reminds you of planned tasks. Moreover, you can turn off any notifications so that they do not interfere with the workflow.
- visualize dynamically updated information about applications, and not only serve as shortcuts to launch them.
- With advanced functionality, you can copy and select any text fragments and use new hotkey combinations. It supports word wrapping during window rescaling.
- like in Linux. The user can create several desktops with icons and options for different purposes (games, work, surfing the Internet, entertainment).
- New design, animation, themes, sound accompaniment, the ability to change the color of windows and other functions for customizing the interface, which were not there before. Along with these and other equally significant innovations, new problems have appeared:
- mandatory updates - the user does not have the right to refuse to install any update, but only to delay its installation;
- total control and - this can also be fought using the methods given by enthusiasts on the network, but high degree even a combination of them cannot guarantee protection against sending personal information to Microsoft servers;
- problems with support for some old applications and the possible lack of drivers for obsolete, but still sometimes functioning devices, such as outdated printers, TV tuners.
How to download top ten
Get an image new system there are many ways, one of which, prohibited by law, is to download assemblies of activated Windows 10. The second, no less common way to install the "top ten" is to download a system image from the Microsoft website.
After installing all the available updates for the "seven" or "eight", a tray icon will appear in any of them, offering to update the operating system.
With its help, it is easy to book the download of files, so that later you can install the "top ten" on your computer, saving all the applications on it (with rare exceptions) and their configuration settings. From receiving all files to Windows boot 10 usually takes about 10-15 minutes, which is quite a bit for installing the OS.
- We call "Recovery Options" using the search bar "Start".
- Under the first heading "Return the computer ...", click on the "Start" button.
Windows.old folder
For those who decided to stay on the "top ten" or a month has passed since the date of its installation, remove which standard means is impossible, and the space occupied by the directory is sometimes oh right. The directory contains files related to your old system. If there is no need or need to restore it, Windows.old should be deleted.
- We write "cleanmgr" in the line run "Win + R" and press "Enter".
- Select the drive where the file folder is located old Windows, and click OK.
- Click "Clear system files».
- We put down the checkboxes next to the items colored in the screenshot, and click "OK".
They occupy the maximum amount of disk space.
As a result of the action, the directory will be deleted, clearing several gigabytes on your system drive.

As a rule, all notes of this kind are dry and crumpled, in the style of sticking here and scrolling with the mouse - I will try not to repeat these mistakes and season with controversial points and nuances (well, I need to somehow stand out from the competition ...)
In this guide, the installation of Windows 10 can be divided into 2 stages:
- Create installation media
- Installation and Windows setup 10
I do not recommend that you buy or download distributions from third-party resources and if you are not confident in your abilities. Now all this can be downloaded from the official website and without any problems using simple tools to create this same installation media with the current version of Windows 10 on board.
Installing Windows 10 - Preparing media
For this villainy, we need a flash drive with a capacity of more than 4 gigabytes (preferably as soon as possible) or DVD disc (but a flash drive is better - it's easier with it). Here we again have a choice, you can download the dozens distribution kit and burn it to a USB flash drive or disk third party programs like Rufus or using the Media Creation Tool to create installation media in a couple of clicks (but in this case, the distribution kit will not be saved on the computer and if you need to create a bootable USB flash drive again, you will have to redownload everything from the Internet over a new one)
Where to download Windows 10
When the question arises of where to download Windows 10 for installation on a computer, then I always have one answer for you - of course, on the official Microsoft website, read the note in detail. In the picture below, just the moment with the choice - save or burn the image to a USB flash drive (this is the way with Media Creation Tool)
If you decide to immediately burn the image to a USB flash drive using the Media Creation Tool, then you can skip the next step - it is for those who saved the image to their computer and do not know what to do with it.
How to create Windows 10 installation media
We have a Windows 10 image to install (distribution), just throwing it on a USB flash drive is not enough - it doesn’t work like that. There are several options for recording the installation kit, you can read about this in a note on how to do it on board. There are many different variations, but personally I use the program - which I advise you ...
The Rufus utility is quite simple and is ideal for our task. Just insert the flash drive, select the previously downloaded Windows image and click the "Start" button - all that remains is to wait for the recording process to finish.
Well, let's proceed directly to installing Windows 10 on our computer or laptop. First of all, you need to boot from the installation kit (how to do this is written in the documentation or use the search on the Internet - we are interested in the BOOT MENU).
After loading Windows Installer 10 we need to select the language, layout and time format with monetary units (don't worry, there will be an English layout too)- I'm used to the Russian language, so I select the appropriate items and click "Next"
On this stage we are given the opportunity to try to restore the installed system (by the way, this can be used to enter), but in the context of this note, this is superfluous - so click "Install"
Windows activation - for those who were waiting for the keys ... I will upset you, on this resource only legal content. At this stage, you can refuse to enter license key Windows 10 and do it later - there is a special item for this "I do not have a product key"
We got to the section “Select the operating system you want to install” ... here, as a rule, the choice is small, we have already made our choice at the stage of downloading the image from the official site. You can compare editions on the Internet - if you have a license, then just which edition is licensed. Well, if there is no key and you are not going to buy it in the future, install PRO, you will not be mistaken.
Not everyone reads the license agreement, but in vain. I remember there was a big discussion on the network about hidden surveillance of the user ... only this is all written in detail in the text of the agreement and you yourself ticked the box "I accept the terms of the license." By the way, I had situations when the error "Not found" was displayed instead of the text. license agreement" - in this case, most likely the problem is with the media that you use to install Windows 10.
You and I are interested in a clean installation of the system, so we select "Custom: only Windows installation(for experienced users) "... I do not recommend updating, there is a high probability of grabbing glitches from the old system. And you can copy the data beforehand - now this is not a problem.
Now the most interesting part is the layout of the hard disk. Ideally, demolish everything and do everything from scratch, but for this you need to merge important data to another medium - by deleting all sections, you will forever lose access to your data. If the computer is new, then HDD will be defined as "Unallocated disk space" ... select it and click the "Create" button, select the size local disk and click "Apply".
Most likely, the Windows setup program will create a small partition for service purposes, there will be a system boot loader - this is very convenient, you won’t be able to accidentally delete it.
Next, copying the installation files and directly installing Windows 10 on a computer or laptop will begin. This process is usually the longest and depends entirely on the performance of your computer, especially important.
After the reboot, you will see the inscription “Preparation in progress” - this means that the system has almost completely installed on your computer and soon we will be able to proceed to the initial setup.
Well, that's all, we have successfully installed Windows 10, it remains only to carry out initial setup and your computer will be ready to go. The first step is to select a region... Microsoft apparently has a little trouble with translators and Russia is a region, so select and click "Yes".
Choosing a layout (no need to add English, it is already preinstalled by default). I repeat - I live in Russia and use the Russian layout, so I choose as in the picture below and click "Yes"
It will be great if the computer is connected to the Internet - Windows will download the latest updates and try to install them. If the image used with the system is old, then this stage can take hours.
The next step is to choose a configuration method, we need "Configure for personal use"... if you are an organization, then better call the local admin - she will set everything up for you (and if he doesn’t know, you need to drive such workers)
In Windows 10, Microsoft expects tight integration with their services, and for those cases, I recommend that you use their account to sign in. However, if we take into account the fact that most users do not need this at all, then we will create a local account without being tied to the Internet ... the “Offline account” item is responsible for this.
The next window touts us a Microsoft account. In fact, this is very convenient ... but I didn’t find any special advantages over offline accounting, I don’t exclude it, I just didn’t appreciate the beauty of the cloud and got used to doing everything the old fashioned way. We do not need it, so we select "Maybe later"
Who will use this computer? - Everything is elementary here! Enter the username (for example, I used the name of the blog - Itshnegcom). I highly recommend choosing a login on English language, there are often problems with Cyrillic profiles ... many programs (especially games) are not able to work with them.
Here it is - the stone of contention, the "Privacy" tab. If you do not want information to be collected about you, then turn everything off and click "Accept". In general, everything is signed in detail, it will not be difficult to understand.
Well, the final step - only the inscription on the screen "This may take a few minutes" separates us from installed Windows 10…
... and we have opened the desktop of the newly installed operating system, at this stage we can safely say that we have just installed Windows 10 on a computer or laptop on our own (It's not difficult, is it?)
Well friends - it's time to take stock. This guide will help you install Windows 10 on a computer or laptop - as you can see, there is nothing difficult in this, especially in comparison with the times of Windows 98. Now everything can be done with a flash drive and a little skill. Of course, there are special cases when some nuances come up - here you can ask questions in the comments to this entry, we will definitely figure it out ... and perhaps supplement this note!
With our step by step instructions you will easily figure out how to install Windows 10 and avoid serious mistakes. The system will be installed with bootable flash drive on new hard disk.
Preparation
The most reliable way to install Windows 10 is to use the Media Creation Tool, which can be downloaded for free from the official Microsoft website (here is the download page).
Installing Windows 10
Now let's take a closer look at the installation process itself. It is very similar to, but there are some interesting points.
- Boot from the installation flash drive and choose what bit system will be installed. We will choose 64-bit.
- In the first window of the installer, you are prompted to select the time format, language, and input method. everywhere we put "Russian"
- A screen will appear with a large "Install" button. Below there is an item "System Restore" - you will need this section in the future if in Windows 10 errors are found. For now, click Install.
- The installer may ask for an activation key (not always). If you have previously updated the old system to Windows 10 (as recommended by Microsoft representatives), then skip this step - activation will be performed automatically using the old key.
- Agree to the terms of the license agreement.
- Select the installation type. There are two available - update and custom installation. The first option does not suit us, so we choose a custom installation, during which you can divide the hard drive into sections and then format them.
- Be careful! A disk partitioning window will appear with the available hard disk partitions. You need to select the partition where the files of the old version of Windows are stored. If you put the system on a new hard drive that has not yet been partitioned, then allocate at least 50 GB for the system (more is better). Please note that Windows has a small partition (from 100 to 570 MB) reserved by the system. Do not delete it and do not format it: it is needed for the stable operation of the "dozens". Format only the partition on which it was installed old version Windows, and then select it to install the system.
When installed on blank disk the system will ask you to create an additional section, agree.
It is advisable to take under system partition at least 25-30 GB. - We are waiting. After selecting the volume, copying of files begins, after which the computer will restart. You do not need to do anything: after the reboot, the components will be prepared and configured.
- If you are asked again for an activation key, do the same as in step number 3 - click "Do later", skipping this step.
- Choose a Russian region
- Refusing to add another keyboard layout by clicking "Skip"
- We will use the system for personal use offline account, you can join Microsoft later
- Once again we refuse to create an account Microsoft records by pressing "No"
- Enter a username. Preferably in Latin letters to avoid possible problems with Russian encoding in the future.
- You can set a login password. We will leave the password blank for now, you can set it later
- Next, select a privacy policy. We turned off all the options here to save resources and traffic.
- The system is installed.
Congratulations, you've installed Windows 10! Now it remains to do just a couple of little things: activate the system,
I have a small article on my site about installing Windows 10 clean. However, apparently, the instructions presented in it are not enough for everyone - some clarifying questions constantly appear in the comments, and people write in a personal who “We did everything as written, but nothing works”. That is why today I decided to write the most detailed (literally microstepping) guide on how how to reinstall the "top ten"- such detailed instructions that even very inexperienced people in computers understand what is being done and how.
So, you have decided to remove all existing information along with the operating system and install Windows 10 again. For what reasons you decided to do this is not so important. However, we will outline some situations when re-setting the "ten" is better than trying to reanimate an existing system:
- Significant slowdown of the computer compared to the original speed.
- Systematic errors in work.
- Deep infection with viruses.
- The inexplicable subjective desire to have a clean system (personally, this often occurs to me) is a fad, something like that.
Windows 10 installer
In order to reinstall the Windows 10 operating system, we need a free evening and a free flash drive with a capacity of 4 gigabytes or more. Let's start with our USB stick(aka a flash drive) and make sure that there is nothing needed on it - because then all information from there will be deleted.
Before reinstalling Windows 10, we need to use special program create the so-called installation media- write "dozens" files to the USB flash drive. To do this, you need to go to this Microsoft page and by pressing the button Download tool now"(it is the second on the page - lower), download to your computer necessary program and run its installation. The program is called MediaCreationTool. It should be downloaded immediately before installing the operating system. So you get a fresh "top ten" with all the latest important updates.
At one time, when starting the MediaCreationTool utility, it was observed error 80072f76 0x20017. It was associated with “jambs” exclusively on the side of Microsoft and arose everywhere around the world right from September to December 2017. On this moment the problem is solved, but in such cases to download Windows image 10 from the official site, you can use the "crutch". You can download the top ten directly by replacing the user agent in the browser with Apple Safari. Everything is simple there: press F12 in the Edge browser - then go to the "Emulation" tab - change the user agent string to "Apple Safari (iPad)" - download the necessary images from Microsoft official site(described in more detail here in English). If you don’t have access to the Edge browser due to the absence of Windows 10 anywhere and you decide to trust me (by the way, it’s completely in vain - because you can’t trust anyone on the Internet), then here I have links to ISO files in Mega cloud storage with the latest as of December 2017 Windows versions 10: 32 bit and 64 bit. I will say right away that downloading from there is likely to be slow. It is faster to use the method with the official website and change the agent in the browser. After download ISO image with Windows 10 using any of the described methods, you need to create a bootable USB flash drive from this installation image. This can be done using the utility Rufus.
So, on any computer, run Media Creation Tool and for starters, as is usually the case, we accept the terms of the agreement.
Then we wait a few seconds while the preparation is in progress. Then select the second item - "Create installation media for another computer." Attention! Even if you install Windows 10 on the same computer, it's still better to choose option 2. The update (1 point) takes much longer, it provides the ability to save personal files and settings, but a lot of garbage remains in the system.
In the next step, to write the Windows 10 setup program, you must select the architecture (you can also language) of the future system: 64-bit or 32-bit. If the reinstallation will be performed on the same computer on which the USB flash drive is being created, then it is best to leave a check mark on the item “Use the recommended settings for this computer”. If you plan to install the "top ten" on another machine, then in order to select the required bit depth, you can read the article "". Leave the Edition option unchanged: Windows 10.
In the next step, you need to select the media on which we will write the operating system files. Windows systems 10 - 1 item "USB flash memory device". Then select the flash drive previously inserted into the computer.
After that, the download will begin first, and then the creation of Windows 10 media (that is, writing to a USB flash drive). This process is slow. And in many respects it depends on the speed of your Internet connection. During the download, about 3 gigabytes of data will be transferred to the computer. On my not the fastest laptop in 2010, downloading "dozens" and creating a bootable USB flash drive took exactly an hour .
Step by step installation of Windows 10 from a flash drive
Now that Windows files 10 were successfully written by us to a USB flash drive, you can proceed directly to the installation of "tens". It is better to save all the necessary files from the computer somewhere else beforehand. This will not only make the installation easier and faster, but also ensure best performance operating system in the future.
Step 1. Preparing for installation
In order to install Windows 10, first you need to start the computer not as usual - with hard drive, but from a flash drive. This is done on various models computers and laptops in their own way. As a rule, to enter the BIOS or UEFI-BIOS, immediately after pressing the power button on the computer, you must press one of following buttons: F2, F12, F7, F9, Del or other. This is described in detail in the instructions for the equipment. But there is a "poke method". In my experience, the most common way to get into the BIOS was with F2 or Del.
So, the computer just started up, and we press our button with all our might to enter the BIOS or UEFI-BIOS. We enter and change the boot priority by setting our USB to the first place instead of the hard drive.
Setting up Windows 10 installation from a BIOS flash drive
For the BIOS, moving to the right with an arrow, you need to go to the Boot tab. All possible devices to boot will be indicated below, so that the computer boots first of all from a USB flash drive, you need to raise the item with it (in the figure it is the lowest) to the first position. To do this, we go down to it with the usual down arrow, but we move the items in the list with the F6 (up) and F7 (down) keys. (There may be other buttons for navigating in the BIOS - they will be named on the right and at the bottom.) I got to the USB item I needed and pressed the F6 key 4 times. In general, you need to ensure that your USB device (flash drive) is in the boot list in 1st place.
Setting up Windows 10 installation from a flash drive for UEFI-BIOS
By analogy with the BIOS, everything is done in a more modern UEFI program. We also go there by clicking one of the function keys(it turned out to be Del for me). Then we go to the menu responsible for setting up the boot and select our USB flash drive as the first number. In UEFI, as a rule, you can use the mouse - so everything is easier here.
Details BIOS settings or UEFI-BIOS for booting into flash drives may differ from those described depending on your computer or laptop model. Feel free to ask questions in the comments below on this page if you don't understand something.
Step 2Install Windows 10
After we have made the necessary settings in the BIOS, we restart the computer and see that the Windows 10 installation process begins. To begin with, the “dozens” logo simply appears, then all kinds of questions. At first, we leave everything as it is.
In the next step, select the "I don't have a product key" option. If Windows 10 has already been activated on your machine, then the license is already bound to it and will be automatically validated after installation.
Now you will need to select the version of the operating system to be installed: Pro or Home. If you do not know which one to choose, then stop at Home - with a probability of 99% you had it.
At the next step, we are once again offered to save any data from the operating system existing on the hard disk, but we once again refuse (and do it right) and select the item “ Custom: Windows installation only (for advanced users)».
At the next stage, all sections of the hard disk appear in front of us. If the system is put completely clean, then personally I would prefer to remove each of these volumes in turn. There will be "Unallocated space on disk0" (as in my picture). This is where we will install Windows 10. You don't need to create anything. Partition C will appear on its own during the installation process. Just click "Next".
After a while, the computer will restart. (If after that it asks you to press any key, then you should not do this - otherwise the Windows installation will start over).
Better on reboot remove flash drive from USB port . If this is not done, then booting from the USB flash drive will remain a priority and the installation of Windows 10 will start again.
And the installation will continue.
Further installation will be carried out already on blue screen. At first, you will be prompted to "Increase the speed of work." Can be used standard parameters, but I prefer to go into the settings and turn off all five items.
In the next step, we have three possibilities:
- Sign in with an existing Microsoft account.
- If not, you can create an account.
- Skip the step and continue with a local account.
Personally, I appreciate the opportunity that syncing settings and files in the cloud gives. That's why I always use a Microsoft account. And I advise you to get it and use it. To do this, you just need to enter the address of your Email and come up with a password (numbers and Latin letters). In the next step, for privacy reasons, it is better to uncheck both boxes.
Now, to enter the account on the computer, you will need to enter your email address and password. However, in the next step, this process can be greatly simplified by inventing a simple 4-digit authorization pin code. Attention! The PIN code is valid only on one computer.
This step, like the previous ones, can be skipped, but I personally prefer to set up a simple pin code and enter it if necessary, rather than a more complex password.
The installation is almost complete. In the remaining time, welcome inscriptions will be successively replaced on the screen: “Hello”, “We are glad that you are with us”, “Preparation is underway, do not turn off the computer” and others. After the word “Getting Started”, the long-awaited desktop finally appears.
Now it is highly desirable to get a few necessary updates as soon as possible and that's it. required drivers(in Windows 10, it is extremely rare to install drivers manually - they are installed here automatically, through the update center). To do this, go to the Start menu, select the gear icon.
The Options tool launches. In it, go to: “Update and security”, then “Check for updates”. If there is nothing, then after some time something will definitely appear.
After all the updates and drivers for Windows 10 are installed, you can carry out the initial setup of a clean system to make it more convenient to use. For example, I disable the login password. I talk more about all this in the article "
In this article, we will describe the main ways to install Windows 10. Depending on the device and the user's goals, installation methods may vary. A clean install, a system upgrade, or a reinstall with data retention are different goals and different installation options. We will tell you how to install a clean Windows 10 on new laptop or PC, as well as how to update the system to a new version.
Introduction
In July 2015, the next version of the Windows 10 operating system was released. Not only the system interface was redesigned, but also most of the applications. Microsoft moved away from Metro apps towards UWP, which could run not only on PCs, but also on tablets and mobile devices.
From the very beginning, users of previous versions (7 and 8.1) were offered to upgrade to a new system for free while maintaining the system. Some users ask if it is possible to install Windows 10 for free on a computer. Formally, even if you change hardware, you can activate the system. If something does not work out, it is better to write to Microsoft support.
Now, more and more users are moving to version 10 of the OS, as support for older versions is being discontinued and more and more restrictions are being introduced for users of previous versions (for example, releasing new drivers only under Win10).
In this article, we will tell you how to download Windows 10 for free and install it on your computer.
Loading
The first thing you will encounter if you want to install Windows 10 on your laptop or PC yourself is to download the system image. You can do this in several ways:
- Media Creation Tools is a tool from Microsoft that can not only download the desired image, but actually install licensed Windows 10 from the official website.
- Download from the official site - where you immediately download the image you need in .iso format, ready for installation or burning to media
- From third-party sites - this option is used if you need a specific version of the OS, since MCT and the site provide only the latest versions for download.
Let's analyze each option in more detail.
Media Creation Tools
MCT is a versatile tool that includes several features - download, update and install Windows 10.
You can download Media Creation Tools from the official website.
- Click on the button “Download tool now” and run the utility when the download is complete.
- Then, select "Create installation media" and then specify the parameters of the future system. Language and Bitness
- If you need to record to a USB flash drive, select the appropriate option. But if you want to burn the image to a DVD or just save it, select "Iso file".
After that, select where the image will be saved to and wait for the download to complete.
If you chose to boot to USB, the image will first be loaded to disk, and then it will be written to the drive.
Download from the official site
There is a little trick that will help you download the image without downloading the MCT.
If you access the MCT page from a non-Windows tablet or smartphone, you will be prompted to download the image, as MCT cannot be run on operating systems except Windows.
So if you use Google Chrome or similar browsers (based on Chromium), you can enable developer mode (F12 key) and change the device type ( combination Ctrl+Shift+M). Don't forget to reload the page and don't close developer mode.
Third Party Site
And the last option, if you need old version, but you do not know how to install windows 10 from scratch - you need to try to find the image you need on third-party sites.
Do not download images or programs for download anywhere. It is advisable to use the original images from Microsoft. More on this later…
One site that can help with this is heidoc.net.
On this site you can download Microsoft application Windows and Office ISO Download Tool. With it, you can download not only the official image for Windows 10, but also for Windows 8.1 and 7, Office and more.
Installation
Before installation, you should make sure that the computer meets the requirements for installing Windows 10:
- Processor - 1 GHz or faster;
- RAM - 1 GB (x32 version) or 2 GB (x64 version);
- 20 Gb of free space;
The image or installation media is ready, there is little left to do - we will tell you with an example how to new computer install Windows 10. The differences from reinstallation are minimal - there are no files on the disk on the new device, but there are none on the already installed system.
step by step Windows installation 10 per laptop or PC:
- Initially, you need to set the boot priority to the installation media (USB or DVD). in plain language- the system needs to specify which device will boot first - a disk with installed system or a drive with a system image. Correct installation Windows 10 - via BIOS.
- To change the boot priority, you need to enter the BIOS. To do this, when the computer boots up, press the Del key ( F2 or F8, manufacturer dependent) and wait for the BIOS interface to appear.
- If the settings are in English, you need to look for the Boot Priority item or Load order, where you need to put the drive with the image in the first place.
- Then press F10 (Save and Exit) and the installation will start running.
Some devices require download confirmation external devices. Therefore, to be sure, you can press the space bar for 5-7 seconds after restarting the computer.
- You will be greeted by a window with 2 buttons - Settings and System Restore. To continue installation, click the appropriate button.
- Then, accept the terms of the faces. agreements
- The next step is to select the type of installation, where you need to select “Custom Installation”. “Update” is not used when clean install, only for updating from under the system.
- Next, choose a drive. To reinstall the system, you must select the disk on which the system was previously installed. If the device or disk is new, select the unallocated space and click “Next”
If you want to allocate a certain volume for the system, click the "Create" button and specify how large the new disk will be..
- After that, the first installation will begin - unpacking and copying files.
- After that, the system will reboot and the next stage will begin - installation of system components. It is quite long and can take from 5 to 25 minutes, depending on the power of the device.
- After another reboot, the system will start in OOBE - Out Of Box Expirience mode. In Russian, this means - the initial experience (out of the box) when working with the device.
At this point, you will need to customize the system to suit your needs:
- Selectable language and keyboard layout
- After that, you need to select the type of use of the device - home or work (for the organization).
- The next step will be to select the type of Account - MSA (Profile linked to a Microsoft account) or local (standard Account).
Enter your username and password to log in to MSA
To create a local profile, click Offline Account, decline the offer to create an MSA, and then enter the username and password of the new profile
- The next step is choosing privacy options. It is recommended to disable all options.
Wait for the installation of the latest components and the system is successfully installed. This is the easiest way to install Windows 10 on your PC yourself.
Installation/upgrade
There are times when users need to not only install the system, but also save their data or applications. This process is called InPlace Upgrade - where the system is not reinstalled, but only system files are updated, without affecting third party applications and personal files of the user.
By the way, in this way you can also upgrade from previous versions of the system (Windows 8.1 / 7) to the 10th.
Consider the ways in which you can perform InPlace Upgrade:
Via Media Creation Tools
As mentioned earlier, Media Creation Tools is a versatile tool that can do a lot. Even install Windows 10 for free on a computer from the Internet.
Run it, accept the terms of the personal agreement and at the selection stage click on “Upgrade this PC now”. MCT will automatically download the necessary files and warn you when the update starts.
Via Assistant
You can also use the Windows 10 Install (Update) Assistant. Unlike the MCT, the assistant has one purpose - to help the device install a new version of the system.
You can download it from the Windows 10 download page.
The application will ask you for confirmation to install a new version of the system, after which it will download and prepare files in the background for further use.
