  • Select the language and click on Confirm
  • Now you have to choose whether to download the 32-bit or 64-bit version depending on the hardware features of your PC;

After doing so you will download the ISO file of Windows 10 which weighs just under 5GB.

Now you need to create installation media for Windows 10 such as a USB or DVD.

Create Installation support for Windows 10

To create an installation support there are many programs but I advise you to use Rufus, a very light and effective program.

  • Download Rufus from the official website and proceed as follows:
  • Insert into your PC a USB stick (or a DVD) of at least 8 GB empty;
  • Open Rufus;
  • From the first drop-down menu select the key to use;
  • From the second drop-down menu select the previously downloaded ISO file;
  • To start the creation of the installation media click on START;

The process will take a few minutes. After creating the installation media, you can eject it from your computer and insert it into the PC on which you need to install Windows 10.

To install Windows 10, turn on your PC and press the BIOS access button immediately. It is usually shown on the screen at the bottom right of the ignition. The most popular buttons are ESC, F2, F11 and F12. It depends on the manufacturer of the motherboard.

After entering the BIOS go to the Boot settings and set the device you will use for the installation as the primary by using the appropriate buttons marked on the screen. Remember to save and restart your PC.
