I'm going to show you how where to download the latest Windows 10 install
and how to prepare your thumb drive to install from. Let's do this! Hey guys this
is your friend Iggy back again with ThisBytesForYou. If this is your first time
here and you want to learn everything tech related from upgrading your PC to
building a brand-new PC, gaming and all the latest gadgets start now by clicking
subscribe and clicking on the bell notification so you don't miss a thing.
Alright guys so, as you may or may not know you can download Windows 10 and pop it on to
a thumb drive and use it for up to 180 days before Windows Update stops working
and a few of the different things stops working there are ways around it but I
always do recommend to buy it now that being said even though I bought this
version of Windows 10 this is the original release of Windows 10 I have to
do a trillion of Windows updates to get to the very latest version which is on
this key right now. I'm going to show you real quick how to do that so I can
always use the key I used here on this thumb drive or I can do the 180
day thing so anyway I'm gonna put this aside just for right now. So you go
to Microsoft com/en-us/software-download/Windows 10 and I'll put the
link down below as well. Once you're here you'll see where it says create Windows
10 installation media download tool now. Okay once that's downloaded we'll go
ahead and click on it to open the media creation tool
alright so it's getting a few things ready
all right so now the applicable notice and license terms go ahead and read
through it. Very important information I just read it right now real good stuff.
And go ahead and click accept. All right so here upgrade this PC now it's
probably using an older version that we don't want to do that right now
we'll want to select create installation media and then click new. All right, here
it's gonna want you to check through all these language, Edition, architecture and
everything. I'm gonna go ahead and use the recommended system option or we
can uncheck it and choose instead of 32-bit or 64-bit we can choose both. I
prefer that. And edition,... well we'll leave it Windows 10. So then click Next then
I'll use flash drive, you can also do an ISO if you want to burn a DVD but for
this one we're gonna go ahead and use a thumb drive so I'll go ahead and click
Next. OK now I'm gonna go ahead and plug it in
now refresh that list. Alright so I found my thumb drive which again was an
install I just did on my desktop for a review on preparing for but I'm just
gonna go ahead wipe it out now just to show you guys, and I click Next by the
way. All right now it's just verifying the download this process should be all
the way through, should be. All right now it's creating the Windows 10 media so I
think it erases what I have on the thumb drive already, looks like that's what
it's doing. All right so, I'll put down here how long that took that took a very
long time I don't remember taking that long on my desktop I'm doing it on my
laptop from through Wi-Fi but anyway your USB flash drive is ready so we can
just here showing the drive letter D and I'll click finish here this may take a
few minutes alright so then I open up file explorer and we can see here that
thumb drive now on the windows website it takes it says it takes about 4 gigs but
we can see there it's about 7 gigs worth of data I would say about an 8 gig thumb
drive or higher you need for this. I have
my Dauntless thumb drive that I got at PAX and it fits the bill perfectly fine.
But anyway, again this is Iggy with ThisBytesForYou, showing you how to
download Windows 10 and prepare a thumb drive so that you can install the latest
version of Windows 10 still using your key but with the latest version that way
you don't have to go through all your windows updates and then also this gives
you the ability to use this use windows and even this does use Windows for 180
days working perfectly fine and that way you know if you're just trying it out
you don't need to buy it just now when you're ready you can go ahead and buy it
and I'll put links in the description where you can get either professional or
home from Amazon. Alright guys Iggy out, see you guys.
