or less information)

<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/?36261b60-2f68-
4336-abe2-4b00f210b6aa=True>

Here’s when to use these instructions:

o You have a license to install Windows 10 and are upgrading this

PC from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1.
o You need to reinstall Windows 10 on a PC you’ve already
successfully activated Windows 10.

If you are installing Windows 10 on a PC running Windows XP or

Windows Vista, or if you need to create installation media to
install Windows 10 on a different PC, see Using the tool to create
installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) to install
Windows 10 on a different PC <#d2784474-fdb0-4e9d-9e47-5e88c0e053ec>
section below.

*Note*: Before you install Windows 10, check to make sure your PC
meets the system requirements
<http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-10-specifications> for
Windows 10. We also recommend going to the PC manufacturer's website
for any additional info about updated drivers and hardware
compatibility.

1. Select *Download tool*, and select *Run*. You need to be an

administrator to run this tool.
2. On the *License terms* page, if you accept the license terms,
select *Accept*.
3. On the *What do you want to do?* page, select *Upgrade this PC
now*, and then select *Next*.
4.

After downloading and installing, the tool will walk you through
how to set up Windows 10 on your PC. All Windows 10 editions are
available when you select Windows 10, except for Enterprise
edition. For more information on Enterprise edition, go to the
Volume Licensing Service Center
<https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/servicecenter/default.aspx>.

o If you don't have a license to install Windows 10 and have

not yet previously upgraded to it, you can purchase a copy
here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/get-windows-10.
<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/get-windows-10>
o If you previously upgraded to Windows 10 on this PC and
you’re reinstalling it, you don’t need to enter a product
key. Your copy of Windows 10 will automatically activate
 later using your digital license.
5. When Windows 10 is ready to install, you’ll see a recap of what
you’ve chosen, and what will be kept through the upgrade. Select
*Change what to keep* to set whether you would like to *Keep
personal files and apps*, or *Keep personal files only*, or
choose to keep *Nothing* during the upgrade.
6. Save and close any open apps and files you may be running, and
when you’re ready, select *Install*.
7. It might take some time to install Windows 10, and your PC will
restart a few times. *Make sure you don’t turn off your PC.*
* Using the tool to create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD,
or ISO file) to install Windows 10 on a different PC (click to show
more or less information)

<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/?d2784474-fdb0-
4e9d-9e47-5e88c0e053ec=True>

Follow these steps to create installation media (USB flash drive or

DVD) you can use to install a new copy of Windows 10, perform a
clean installation, or reinstall Windows 10.

Before you download the tool make sure you have:

o An internet connection (internet service provider fees may apply).

o Sufficient data storage available on a computer, USB or external
drive for the download.
o A *blank* USB flash drive with at least 8GB of space or blank
DVD (and DVD burner) if you want to create media. We recommend
using a blank USB or blank DVD, because any content on it will
be deleted.
o When burning a DVD from an ISO file, if you are told the disc
image file is too large you will need to use Dual Layer (DL) DVD
Media.

Check a few things on the PC where you want to install Windows 10:

o *64-bit or 32-bit processor (CPU).* You’ll create either a

64-bit or 32-bit version of Windows 10. To check this on your
PC, go to *PC info* in PC settings or *System* in Control Panel,
and look for *System type*.
o *System requirements.* Make sure the PC meets the system
requirements
<http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-10-specifications> for
Windows 10. We also recommend going to the PC manufacturer's
website for additional info about updated drivers and hardware
compatibility.
o *Language in Windows.* You'll need to choose the same language
when you install Windows 10. To see what language you're
currently using, go to *Time and language* in PC settings or
*Region* in Control Panel.
o *Edition of Windows.* You should also choose the same edition of
Windows. To check what edition you're currently running, go to
*PC info* in PC settings or *System* in Control Panel, and look
for *Windows edition*. Windows 10 Enterprise isn’t available in
the media creation tool. For more info, go to the Volume
Licensing Service Center
<https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/servicecenter/default.aspx>.
o *Microsoft Office products*. If you just purchased a new device
that includes Office 365, we recommend redeeming (installing)
 Office before upgrading to Windows 10. To redeem your copy of
Office, please see Download and install Office 365 Home
<https://support.office.com/article/Download-and-install-Office-365-Home-
Personal-or-University-on-your-PC-7a28382b-7015-4b5a-9d9b-650d15742c95>,
Personal, or University on your PC. For more information, check

devices-that-include-Office-365-6176455a-d152-4c3b-a2fa-723d1f6980f0>.

If you have Office 2010 or earlier and choose to perform a clean

install of Windows 10, you will need to locate your Office product
key. For tips on locating your product key, check Find your Office
2010 product key
<https://products.office.com/2010-microsoft-office-suites-license-designations>

5. Select which media you want to use:

o *USB flash drive.* Attach a blank USB flash drive with at
least 8GB of space. Any content on the flash drive will be

o *ISO file.* Save an ISO file to your PC, which you can use
to create a DVD. After the file is downloaded, you can go to
location where the file is saved, or select *Open DVD
burner*, and follow the instructions to burn the file to a
DVD. For more info about using an ISO file, see Additional
 methods for using the ISO file to install Windows 10
<#34de222e-6944-44aa-8f45-8e96988880a4> section below.
6. After the installation media is created, follow the steps below
to use it.
o Using the installation media you created (click to show more or
less information)

<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/?29d8da8f-
62f2-4f15-9edb-a7a6e1ac4d95=True>

Before you install Windows 10, it’s a good idea to save any work
and back up your PC before you start. If you used the media
creation tool to download an ISO file for Windows 10, you’ll
need to burn it to a DVD before following these steps.

1. Attach the USB flash drive or insert the DVD on the PC where
you want to install Windows 10.
2. Restart your PC, and then press any key to boot from the USB
flash drive or the DVD.

If you restart your PC and your current version of Windows

starts, you might have to open a boot menu or change the
boot order in your PC's BIOS or UEFI settings so that your
PC boots from the media. To open a boot menu or change the
boot order, you'll typically need to press a combination of
keys (such as F2, F12, Delete, or Esc) immediately after you
turn on your PC. For instructions on changing the boot order
for your PC, check the documentation that came with your PC
or go to the manufacturer's website.

If changing the boot menu or order doesn't work, try again

by signing in to Windows, shutting down, and then starting
your PC.

3. On the *Install Windows* page, select your language, time,

and keyboard preferences, and then select *Next*.
4. Select *Install Windows*.
o Additional methods for using the ISO file to install Windows 10
(click to show more or less information)

<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/?34de222e-
6944-44aa-8f45-8e96988880a4=True>

If you downloaded an ISO file for Windows 10, the file is saved
locally at the location you selected. If you have a third-party
DVD burning program installed on your computer that you prefer
to use for creating the installation DVD, that program might
open by going to the location where the file is saved and
double-clicking the ISO file, or right-click the ISO file,
select *Open with* and choose your preferred DVD burning software.

If you want to use the Windows Disk Image Burner to create an

installation DVD, go to the location where the ISO file is
saved. Right-click the ISO file and select *Properties*. On the
General tab, click *Change* and select Windows Explorer for the
program you would like to use to open ISO files and select
*Apply*. Then right-click the ISO file and select *Burn disc image*.

If you want to install Windows 10 directly from the ISO file

 without using a DVD or flash drive, you can do so by mounting
the ISO file. This will perform an upgrade of your current
operating system to Windows 10.

To mount the ISO file:

1. Go to the location where the ISO file is saved, right-click

the ISO file and select *Properties*.
2. On the General tab, click *Change…* and select Windows
Explorer for the program you would like to use to open ISO
files and select *Apply*.
3. Right-click the ISO file and select *Mount*.
4. Double-click the ISO file to view the files within.
Double-click *setup.exe* to start Windows 10 setup.
* Using the media creation tool to re-install Windows 10 Pro for
Workstations

<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/>

If you are re-installing Windows 10 Pro for Workstations on your PC,

you need to create installation media using the Media Creation Tool
and choose Windows 10 as your edition. When you start the
installation, choose to skip entering a product key, and instead
choose to install Windows 10 Pro. Once you are at the Windows 10
Pro desktop, from the Start Menu, click Settings then Update &
security, and Activation. If your PC was previously running Windows
10 Pro for Workstations, click the Go to store button and you can
reclaim the edition change to Windows 10 Pro for Workstations at no
additional charge.
