you who are just the first to install a laptop/computer, don't miss a step from this tutorial. Talking
of Windows 10, this is the most recent operating system.

Microsoft itself says it will not release any new OS anymore but will continue to provide
feature updates to this windows 10. So, most likely this Windows 10 will be their last operating
system for desktop computers. Windows 10 itself has minimum specifications that must be met
in order to run on your computer. For those who do not k= now the minimum system
requirements of Windows 10, you can click here.

Make sure your computer or laptop meets the hardware requirements! So that the performance
doesn't disappoint. If your hardware is suitable, also make sure you have some preparations that
you have to do as below:

Backup important data

1. If you are going to install windows is a laptop, prepare a charger to avoid unwanted
things.
2. Make sure the hardware is in good condition.
3. Preparing the Windows 10 Installer (either in the form of a DVD or Flashdisk).

Steps to Install Windows 10


1. First input the windows 10 installer media you are using (flash or DVD)

Then turn on the computer, then go first to the BIOS to set up First Boot. The way when the new
computer is on, press the F2 key, or some existing computer uses the DEL key to enter the BIOS.
Just adjust it. After setting the first boot, press F10, save and restart.

The computer will boot through the Windows 10 installer media, and if the prompt Type any key
to boot from CD or DVD appears, press any key directly, don't be late! Then the process will be
continued soon.

2. Select Language to install, Time and currency format, and Keyboard or input method. If it is
selected, click next.
3. Then click Install now.

4. Setup is starting, wait for the process to continue at the next stage.

5. Then enter the serial number that you have. If you don't have it, just click skip.

6. In this section, you can customize the Windows 10 that you will install. Adjust it to each of
your choices or needs! If it is selected, click Next.

7. Then check the I accept the license terms section. Then click Next

8. In this section, there are two options, which you can choose between upgrade or custom. Since
we will reinstall our computer or laptop, then I choose custom.

9. Then we will continue with a split of partitions. Urgent! Here I hope you are very careful,
especially for the first time. Because if it's wrong, your data might be lost (therefore, don't forget
to backup data before reinstalling the computer/laptop).

In this example, the hard drive that I have is already split into several partitions. That mea= ns I
have to make sure that I will install it on the Disk Drive that I prepared for the OS. Remember!
don't get the wrong choice between Local Disk C and other Local Disks that store your data! If
your computer already has an operating system, you only need to format the partition where the
system was installed..

10. Next are the steps in the process of allocating Windows files from the installer media to the
hard disk. Wait for the process to finish.

11. Then the computer will ask to restart itself. Just click Restart now.
If the computer has restarted, you can remove/unplug the installer media from the computer.
Then wait for the whole process to be completely finished. In this process, the computer may
restart several times. Let it to be done, the computer is customizing the system to the existing
hardware. Wait until a window like below appears.

12. Now almost finished, follow for the next step to the Windows 10 desktop. Then, enter the
serial number if asked. If you don't have it, click Do this later.

13. Select I own it. Then click Next.

14. Create an account for your computer. Enter your username, password, and HINT (for a
reminder if you forget your password), don't leave it blank because if forget your password have
to format the data. When it is selected, click Next.

Failing to follow BIOS setup steps can prevent the computer from booting from the Windows 10 installer media. This means the installation process cannot start as the system will fail to detect the installation disk or flash drive as the bootable source. Ensuring the first boot device is set correctly in BIOS is critical .

Partition customization during installation allows users to manage disk space efficiently. Proper partitioning can improve system performance by separating system files from user data, thus streamlining storage allocation and maintenance tasks. Incorrect partitioning, however, can lead to inefficient storage use and potential data mix-up .

Setting up a new user account involves entering a username, password, and a password hint. These steps are significant to secure access to the device and personalize user settings. The setup process also initializes user-specific files and preferences, contributing to a tailored user experience on the system .

Selecting the correct language, time, and currency settings ensures that the system is properly localized for the user, offering a user-friendly interface consistent with regional conventions for ease of use. Incorrect settings may inconvenience users and lead to functional issues with applications that rely on regional formats .

Choosing 'Custom' installation allows for a clean install of Windows 10, providing an opportunity to configure partitions and install the OS on a desired drive, which is ideal when starting fresh. However, it deletes existing data if not backed up. The 'Upgrade' option preserves user data and applications but may carry over issues from the previous OS installation, potentially affecting performance .

Entering a serial number during Windows 10 installation is crucial for activating and validating the operating system. Skipping this step might limit access to certain features until a valid serial number is entered. However, Windows allows the user to skip initially and enter it later to continue the process .

Restarts during Windows 10 installation occur to apply changes and initiate the next phase of the setup process. They signify transitions between copying files, configuring settings, and finalizing system setup. Ensuring these restarts happen without interference is important for successful installation completion .

Preparing hardware and necessary tools before installing Windows 10 ensures that the installation process can proceed smoothly without interruptions. A charger prevents power loss during installation, checking hardware condition avoids unexpected failures, and having the Windows 10 installer ready allows for a seamless start .

Removing the installer media after Windows 10 restarts prevents the computer from booting from the installation media again, avoiding the restart of the installation process. This allows the setup to continue to the customization phase and finalization of the installation .

Incorrectly partitioning a hard drive during Windows 10 installation can lead to data loss, especially if the wrong partition is formatted. To mitigate these risks, it's crucial to back up important data before starting the installation process and carefully select the correct partition where the operating system will be installed .
