It's possible that Windows 10 is out of date on your device and that you need to update. Or perhaps there are problems with your operating system and you would like to do a fresh installation. Or perhaps all you want to do is upgrade a new desktop or laptop to Windows 10.

1. Check that your device fulfills the system requirements for Windows 10. The minimal system requirements to operate Windows 10 are listed below, make sure your device meets these requirements:


CPU: a CPU running at 1GHz or above
RAM: Windows 10 32-bit users need 1 GB, while 64-bit users need 2 GB.
Storage: at least 32GB of space
GPU: WDDM 1.0 driver required, or DirectX 9 compatible or later
Display: at least 800x600 pixels


2. Produce installation media for USB. Click the "Download tool now" option under the "Create Windows 10 Installation Media" section of Microsoft's Windows 10 download website. Place the installer tool that has been downloaded onto a USB device.


3. Launch the installing software. Click on the installer tool to open it. After agreeing to Microsoft's terms of service, on the "What do you want to do?" screen, choose "Create installation media for another PC." Following your selection of the language and edition (32- or 62-bit) for Windows 10, you'll be prompted to choose the kind of media you wish to utilize. 


Although installing via a CD or ISO file is also an option, installing from a USB stick is unquestionably the recommended method. The installer program will download and save the necessary files on your drive after you select your device. 


4. Use your installation media. After placing your installation disk into your device, you can access the BIOS or UEFI of the computer. These are the systems that provide you control over the main hardware of your computer. 


Each device has a different procedure for gaining access to these systems, but you should be able to get assistance from the manufacturer's website in this regard. Usually, when your computer boots up, you'll need to press the F2, F12, or Delete keys.


5. Change your computer's boot order. You must find the boot order settings after you have access to your computer's BIOS or UEFI. The device's boot drive, which is the SSD or HDD that houses your current operating system, must be lower on the list than the Windows 10 installation tool. The drive containing the installer files needs to be moved to the top of the boot order menu. Now, the Windows 10 installer needs to launch first when you restart your device.

6. Restart your device. Reboot your device after saving your BIOS/UEFI settings.


7. Complete the installation. Now, when you restart your device, the Windows 10 installation program should launch. This will guide you through the rest of the installation process.
