Obtain a Windows 10 installation media: You can either download the ISO file from the official Microsoft website or purchase a Windows 10 installation DVD.
Backup your data: Before proceeding with the installation, it's important to back up any important files or data from your current operating system. This ensures that you don't lose any important information during the installation process.
Insert the installation media: If you have a Windows 10 installation DVD, insert it into your computer's DVD drive. If you have downloaded the ISO file, you can either burn it to a DVD or create a bootable USB drive using software like Rufus or Windows USB/DVD Download Tool.
Start the installation: Restart your computer and boot from the installation media. This usually involves pressing a specific key (e.g., F2, F12, ESC) during startup to access the boot menu. Select the appropriate option to boot from the DVD or USB drive.
Choose your language and region settings: Once the installation media has booted up, you'll be prompted to select your language, time and currency format, and keyboard layout. Make your selections and click "Next."
Install Windows: Click on the "Install now" button to begin the installation process. You'll be asked to enter your product key, so make sure you have it handy. If you don't have a product key, you can choose the option to skip this step, but you'll need to activate Windows later.
Accept the license terms: Read and accept the license terms to proceed with the installation.
Choose the installation type: You'll be presented with two options: "Upgrade" or "Custom." If you're installing Windows 10 on a new computer or want to perform a clean installation, choose "Custom." If you're upgrading from a previous version of Windows, you can choose "Upgrade."
Select the installation location: If you chose the "Custom" installation type, you'll need to select the disk or partition where you want to install Windows 10. You can also create or delete partitions at this stage if needed.
Complete the installation: Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process. Your computer will restart several times during the installation. Make sure not to interrupt the process until it's finished.
Set up Windows: Once the installation is complete, you'll be prompted to set up Windows. This includes options like choosing your region, signing in with a Microsoft account, creating a new account, or using Windows without an account.
Install drivers and updates: After setting up Windows, it's recommended to install the latest drivers for your hardware components and perform Windows updates to ensure your system is up to date and secure.
That's it! You have successfully installed Windows 10 on your computer. Remember to reinstall any necessary software and restore your backed-up data to complete the setup process.
