Hey guys in this video I'm going to show you how to install Windows 10
Either a copy you bought online or something you've downloaded onto your
brand-new SSD or maybe an old drive that you have laying around that you want to
repurpose. So this video will get you started step-by-step on how to do it all
so let's get started. All right so we're going to want to take
out the thumb drive and just plug it into an available USB port. Of course the
first time you plug it in it's always wrong. Then you're going to want to turn the
computer on. OK so, when you start up your PC for the first time right when you see
the logo on your screen maybe for your motherboard or your PC manufacturer
you're going to start wanting to hit the delete or the F2 key to enter into the
BIOS. Now every single motherboard every single PC is going to have a different
BIOS, so it's going to look a little bit different on yours but the overall is
relatively the same. Okay, so right when you get into your BIOS you're going to
want to go over to the boot setting or the boot section. Then you're going to
want to scroll down and one very important thing, you're going to have a
few different settings here for your fixed boot ordered priorities make sure
Windows 7 installation is set to disabled make sure your boot selection
is set to UEFI because Windows 10 is a UEFI operating system. So then we're
going to scroll down a little bit till you find you UEFI USB key drive BBS
priority or something along the lines of the USB. You're going to click on there.
Over here you're going to find the thumb drive that you have windows 10 in, might
look a little bit different but just make sure that that particular drive
shows up here. Okay, and then you want to want to select for your boot option
number one. You're going to want to come down here till you see that particular
thumb drive or that USB key that you've plugged into your computer you're going
to want to select that. Okay now we're going press F10 to save an exit or
whatever your key combination is or just come over here to the save and exit
setting then click Save Changes and reset your computer, and then yes. Now
what that's going to do is it's going to go ahead and boot us into the thumb
drive becoming our first drive to boot from. So then here we're going to be able
to select, depending on how you made your drive or if you have an authentic
Windows 10 thumb drive, it's gonna give you this option. More than likely you're
going to want to install on Windows 10 64 bit that depends on your CPU and I'll
go over that in a different video that I'm going to select 64-bit. Now the
entire process is going to take about under seven minutes usually you know
might take a little bit less time if you have an even faster computer or even
more if you have a slower computer or a mechanical hard drive but I'm just
giving you an example on how all of this works. Okay then here we're going to
select your language, your time and currency format, and your keyboard input
method. Okay, for me the default is fine and I'll click Next and then I'm gonna
click Install Now. Then here if you have a key you're going to enter it here if you
don't have a key, you have 30 days to try it out but you
can either enter your key and click Next or I don't have a key and click right
here. Okay then you're going to select your operating system when you enter the
key it's going to know what operating system it is
because we didn't enter a key we have to manually enter it here. I'm going to
click Windows 10 Pro and click Next. Make sure to read through all of this
information it's all incredibly important and when you're done and you
agree you click I accept the license term and click Next.
I always recommend to click here custom installed windows only advanced. So click
that. Now here we're going to see, depending on how many hard drives or
SSDs or different drives you have plugged into your computer you might see
a bunch of these if you only have that one brand-new drive you purchase in your
machine you're going to select drive 0 unallocated space. Now if you have let's
say you, wanted to install on another SSD I always recommend for this particular
purpose to unplug, Like you see here, unplug your other drives that way you
don't by mistake, erase those drives you can see here drive one both of these
are drives one different partitions this is one drive 500 gigs. Then we have drive
two, show us a few more partitions this one is also 500 gigs. When you delete
them all individually they become one drive just like this. We're going to
focus on the unallocated space. Unallocated means the drivers never been
formatted it's never been used it's completely blank and again I recommend
if you've had this computer for quite some time or just you know for a little
while you have other drives shut down your computer
unplug the drives restart your computer and start this process over so that the
unallocated space drive is the drive you see here and then click Next. What the
next did is it automatically partition the drive like windows needs so then
what it's doing right now it's copying all of the files from that thumb drive
or CD on to that SSD and then it's going to be doing all the expanding and then
getting everything ready. So this entire process takes about three, four, five, six
minutes and I'll go ahead and fast-forward through all of this I still
want you to see it but I'll fast forward so that it doesn't take all of that time.
Okay, so at this time. we can go ahead and click restart now. Now it's
gonna restart your computer. Okay so now when the system reboots, we're going to go
ahead and make sure you remove your thumb drive at this point and now it'll
start booting on to your brand new Windows 10 drive and continue on the
installation. Okay so then we can see here it's getting all your devices and
all your drivers everything ready for your initial boot. And don't worry, it's
going to reboot a few times while you're doing this process. Okay so let's start
with region, is this right we're going to select whatever region were from for me
I'm in the United States and I'll click yes. And then the keyboard layout again,
because I'm in the United States I'll leave US as default and click yes. I
don't want to add a second keyboard layout but if you did want to just click
it here, I'll go ahead and skip it for now. So at this point, if you do have
an ethernet (network) cable connected to it and you're on a network it's doing a few
updates to your install. And so you can either set it up for personal use or set
up for organization I'll click for personal use and click Next. Okay, at this
point we're going to go ahead and sign on with
with a Microsoft account, or create a brand new account it doesn't have to be a
Microsoft account but I'm going to go ahead enter in mine insult one second okay and
it might start resizing and everything as you're doing the install as its auto
detecting your hardware. So at this point, I'm going to go ahead and enter in the
password from my account. Create a PIN, it's always a good idea to create a pin.
just an easier way to get into Windows so one second, and then enter it again to
confirm and then click OK. Now for that one
it is numeric. And you can spread your activity history maybe on another
Windows install you've done before and for now I'm just going to click no, keep
it fresh. And I'm going to go ahead and skip this for now I'll click do it later.
Backup your files with onedrive, if you have a onedrive account, this is a great
option even if you don't this might be a great option. I don't particularly use it
so I'm going go ahead, click only save files to this PC. Onedrive is Microsoft's
online backup utility. Achieve more with a free office 365 home trial. I'll just
click no for this, you can click yes or have a product key it's a great option
but I'll click no. Get help from your digital assistant, now if you'd like to
use digital assistance Microsoft's version is Cortana I'm going to go ahead
and click decline here but if you want to use Cortana you just need to make
sure you have a microphone, so I'll click decline. And then these are all the
different types of privacy settings for this install I'll just click accept. And
now it's going through the introduction and just getting everything ready for
you this will take a few more seconds or depending on how
your computers is, a few minutes. And I'll fast forward through this. Alright so,
we're in Windows, we're completely done installing Windows. Now the other part
that might take you a little bit longer unfortunately I can't help you with it
because we're all gonna have different hardware, is now you have to install all
of your drivers. So you're going to want to see kind of video card you have, what
kind of sound card, what kind of processor, chipset, to help you build your
install of Windows and complete it. So in this series I'm going to show you how to
install everything, your video card, your SSD, your processor so we'll get
into all of this very soon. All right guys I hope I've helped you out if you
