I have a small article on my website about installing Windows 10 completely. However, apparently, the instructions presented in it are not sufficient for everyone - some clarifying questions constantly appear in the comments, and people write in PMs who “We did everything as written - but nothing works”. That is why today I decided to write the most detailed (literally micro-step) guide on how to how to reinstall ten- such detailed instructions so that even people who are very inexperienced in computers understand what is being done and how.
So, you have decided to delete all existing information from your computer along with the current operating system and install Windows 10 again. For what reasons you decided to do this is not so important. However, we will outline some situations when re-setting the “ten” is better than trying to revive an existing system:
- A significant slowdown in computer performance compared to its original speed.
- Systematically occurring errors in work.
- Deep infection by viruses.
- An inexplicable subjective desire to have a clean system (personally, this happens to me often) is a fad, sort of like that.
Program for installing Windows 10
In order to reinstall the Windows 10 operating system, we will need a free evening and a free flash drive with a capacity of at least 4 gigabytes. First, let's take our USB drive (aka flash drive) and make sure that there is nothing necessary on it - because then all information from there will be deleted.
Before reinstalling Windows 10, we need to use special program create a so-called installation media- write dozens of files to a flash drive. To do this you need to go to this Microsoft page and by clicking the " Download the tool now"(it's second on the page - lower), download to your computer the necessary program and start its installation. The program is called MediaCreationTool. You should download it immediately before installation operating system. This way you will receive the latest “top ten” with all the latest important updates.
At one time, when launching the MediaCreationTool utility, it was observed error 80072f76 0x20017. It was associated with “jambs” exclusively on the Microsoft side and arose everywhere around the world from September to December 2017. On this moment the problem is solved, but in such cases for downloading Windows image 10 from the official website you can use the “crutch”. You can download the top ten directly by replacing the user agent in your browser with Apple Safari. Everything is simple there: press F12 in the Edge browser - then go to the “Emulation” tab - change the user agent string to “Apple Safari (iPad)” - download the necessary images from Microsoft official website(described in more detail here in English). If access to Edge browser you don’t have it due to the lack of Windows 10 anywhere and you decide to trust me (by the way, completely in vain - because you can’t trust anyone on the Internet), then here I have links to ISO files V cloud storage Mega with the latest versions of Windows 10 as of December 2017: 32 bit and 64 bit. I will say right away that downloading from there will most likely be slow. It’s faster to use the method with the official website and changing the agent in the browser. After downloading ISO image with Windows 10, using any of the described methods, you need to create a bootable USB flash drive from this installation image. This can be done using the utility Rufus.
So, on any computer we run MediaCreationTool and to begin with, as is usually the case, we accept the terms of the agreement.
Next, we wait a few seconds while the preparation is performed. Then select the second item - “Create installation media for another computer.” Attention! Even if you install Windows 10 on the same computer, it is still better to select item 2. The update (1 point) takes much longer, it provides the ability to save personal files and settings, but a lot of garbage remains in the system.
In the next step, to record the Windows 10 installer, you need to select an architecture (you can also choose a language) future system.: 64-bit or 32-bit. If the reinstallation will be performed on the same computer on which the flash drive is created, then it is best to leave the “Use recommended settings for this computer” checkbox. If you plan to install “ten” on another machine, then to select the required bit depth, you can read the article “”. We leave the “Release” parameter unchanged: Windows 10.
In the next step, you need to select the media on which we will write the files of the Windows 10 operating system - 1 item “USB flash memory device”. Then select the flash drive that was previously inserted into the computer.
After this, the download will begin first, and then the creation of Windows 10 media (that is, writing to a USB flash drive). This process is slow. And it largely depends on the speed of your Internet connection. During the download, approximately 3 gigabytes of data will be transferred to the computer. On my not the fastest laptop from 2010, downloading “tens” and creating bootable flash drive took exactly an hour .
Step-by-step installation of Windows 10 from a flash drive
Now that Windows files 10 have been successfully recorded by us on a flash drive, you can proceed directly to installing “tens”. All necessary files It’s better to first save it somewhere else from your computer. This will not only make the installation easier and faster, but will also ensure better performance of the operating system in the future.
Step 1: Preparing for installation
In order to install Windows 10, first you need to start the computer not as usual - from a hard drive, but from a flash drive. This is done on different models of computers and laptops in their own way. As a rule, to enter the BIOS or UEFI-BIOS, immediately after pressing the power button on the computer, you need to press one of the following buttons: F2, F12, F7, F9, Del or another. This is described in detail in the equipment instructions. But there is a “poke method”. In my experience, most often you could enter the BIOS using F2 or Del.
So, the computer has just started, and we are pressing our button with all our might to enter the BIOS or UEFI-BIOS. We go in and change the boot priority, setting our USB first instead of the hard drive.
Setting up Windows 10 installation from a flash drive for BIOS
For BIOS, moving to the right with the arrow, you need to go into Boot tab. All possible devices for loading will be indicated below, in order for the computer to boot first from the flash drive, you need to raise the item with it (in the figure it is the lowest) to the first position. To do this, go down to it with the usual down arrow, but we move items in the list using the F6 (up) and F7 (down) keys. (There may be other buttons for navigating in the BIOS - they will be named on the right and below.) I went to the USB item I needed and pressed the F6 key 4 times. In general, you need to ensure that your USB device(flash drive) was in 1st place in the boot list.
Setting up Windows 10 installation from a flash drive for UEFI-BIOS
By analogy with the BIOS, everything is done in the more modern UEFI program. We also go there by pressing one of the function keys when the computer boots (for me it turned out to be Del). Then we go to the menu responsible for setting up the boot and select your flash drive as the first number. In UEFI, as a rule, you can use the mouse - so everything is simpler here.
Details BIOS settings or UEFI-BIOS for loading into flash drives may differ from those described depending on your computer or laptop model. In the comments below on this page, do not hesitate to ask questions if something is unclear to you.
Step 2. Install Windows 10
After we have made the necessary settings in the BIOS, we reboot the computer and see that the Windows 10 installation process begins. To begin with, the “tens” logo simply appears, then all sorts of questions. For the first time we leave everything as is.
In the next step, you need to select the “I don’t have a product key” option. If Windows 10 has already been activated on your machine, then the license is already associated with it and will be automatically confirmed after installation.
Now you will need to select the version of the operating system to install: Pro or Home. If you don’t know which one to choose, then stop at Domashnyaya - with a 99% probability it was the one you had.
At the next step, we are once again asked to save any data from the operating system existing on the hard drive, but we once again refuse (and do it absolutely correctly) and select the “ Custom: only Windows installation(for advanced users)».
At the next stage, all the partitions of the hard drive appear in front of us. If the system is being installed completely clean, then personally I would prefer to remove each of these volumes in turn. There will be “Unallocated disk space0” (as in my picture). This is where we will install Windows 10. There is no need to create anything. Partition C will appear on its own during the installation process. Just click “Next”.
After some time, the computer will reboot. (If after this it asks you to press any key, then you should not do this - otherwise the Windows installation will start all over again).
It's better when you reboot remove the flash drive from USB port . If this is not done, booting from the flash drive will remain a priority and the installation of Windows 10 will begin again.
And the installation will continue.
Next, the installation will be done on blue screen. First, you will be prompted to “Increase speed.” You can use the standard settings, but I prefer to go into the settings and disable all five items.
In the next step we have three options:
- Login to an existing account Microsoft entry.
- If you don't have one, you can create an account.
- Skip step and continue with a local account.
Personally, I appreciate the opportunity that synchronizing settings and files in the cloud provides. That's why I always use a Microsoft account. And I advise you to get it and use it. To do this, you just need to enter your address Email and come up with a password (numbers and Latin letters). In the next step, for privacy reasons, it is better to uncheck both boxes.
Now to log into your account on your computer you will need to enter your email address and password. However, in the next step, this process can be significantly simplified by coming up with a simple 4-digit PIN code for authorization. Attention! The PIN code is valid only on one computer.
This step, like the previous ones, can be skipped, but personally I prefer to set a simple PIN code and enter it if necessary, rather than a more complex password.
The installation is almost complete. For the remaining time, greeting messages will sequentially change on the screen: “Hello”, “We are glad that you are with us”, “Preparations are underway, do not turn off the computer” and others. After the word “Let’s start,” the long-awaited desktop finally appears.
Now it is very desirable to get several necessary updates as quickly as possible and that’s it necessary drivers(in Windows 10 it is extremely rare to install drivers manually - they are installed automatically here through the update center). To do this, go to the Start menu and select the gear icon.
The Options tool launches. In it we go: “Update and security”, then “Check for updates”. If there is nothing, then after some time something will definitely appear.
After all updates and drivers for Windows 10 have been installed, you can perform the initial setup of a clean system to make it more convenient to use. For example, I disable the login password. I talk about all this in more detail in the article “
Instead of Windows 8.1, Microsoft has prepared for its users new version operating system. The peculiarities of this system are that it is intended not only for desktop computers, but also for smartphones, XBox One consoles, tablets and other devices.
The company suggests that its users do not download Windows 10 for free, but simply update their old versions. And every third person who used Windows 7 before took the risk of taking such a step. And I was right.
Essentially, Windows 10 is a mix of the best practices that the company has combined into one operating system. So we can safely talk about the quality of the operating system, which is characterized by high performance. She borrowed this parameter from Windows 7; the interface was taken from the eighth version of the OS (however, there was still room for some updates, which primarily affected the main Start button and the toolbar). You can download Windows 10 to your computer for x86-bit and x64-bit systems.
Functional
What will this software please us with? It contains:
- Personal assistant Cortana. This assistant has artificial intelligence.
- The Start menu allows you to quickly access the programs and documents you use frequently.
- Virtual desktops. In this version of the program you can create several desktops, setting each of them for quick access to the applications you need.
- Microsoft Edge browser. It was created literally from scratch. At the same time, new engines have appeared, as a result of which this product is different high speed page processing. The clear interface is also captivating.
- Biometric authentication. The system installed on devices that have cameras will allow you to gain access through biometric scanning. Perceives fingerprints, iris or face.
- A more modern Windows Defender that communicates with a cloud service Microsoft Active Protection Service and works in real time.
- Application traffic control.
- Simplified work with windows.
- DirectX 12 support.
System requirements
If your computer works without problems with Windows 7 or 8, then you can update the versions and get to know the 10th version better. At the same time, during the update you do not have to worry about the safety of your files.
As a rule, it will be enough for you to work random access memory more than 1 GB for a 32-bit system and 2 GB for a 64-bit version.
The hard drive must have more than 16 GB. If you only have 17 GB, then most likely after you download the updated Windows versions 10 for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1, you will not be able to install anything on the C drive.
You will also need a 1 GHz or higher processor. And if earlier there were problems when installing on Core 2 Duo, now this problem solved.
The video card must support DirectX 9.0c. If the version is lower, then this may cause problems.
Requires a Microsoft account and internet access.
Program installation
If you already have a license for Windows 10 and are going to update to versions 7 or 8.1, then first make sure that your computer meets the system requirements.
It wouldn’t hurt to visit the computer manufacturer’s website to find out everything about updated drivers and hardware compatibility.
After this, you can start the installation process. During this process you are required to agree to the terms and conditions. license agreement by clicking on “Accept”. In the "What do you want to do" window, select the "Update your PC now" option.
The installation may take some time, so do not rush to turn off the computer, let the system complete the installation.
Microsoft offers Windows 10 owners special abilities (virtual keyboard or screen magnifier, etc.). Downloading these features will allow you to update the system to the latest version completely free of charge.
Users with disabilities can upgrade to Windows 10 for free

Windows 10 and Android
Many users still decided to download Windows 10 in Russian for smartphones. However, here you need to know that there are dozens of emulators. Of course, they will not all be full version, but if all you need is to copy the interface of dozens, then they will cope with their role quite well.
In order to install full version Windows, you will need to completely reflash the device. And inexperienced users may have problems with this, since not all processor chips support the Microsoft product. Only processors with ARM and i386 architecture will not have problems.
Another point to consider is that this operating system will take up much more space on the smartphone than the Android OS. Therefore, it is worth thinking carefully about the feasibility of such changes.
However, there is an option when you can install Windows without flashing it, but by superimposing one system on another. So, you will need to download the sdl.zip archive and the special sdlapp program, which is presented in .apk format.
After which the application is installed on the smartphone, and the data is extracted to the SDL folder. The system image file is copied here in the future.
Now all that remains is to launch the Installation Wizard and wait until the process is completed.
2018-06-01 | Published in: Windows 10 no commentsHello dear user! In this article you will learn. Everyone is scared of updates, but are they as complicated and harmful as they say?! Let's figure it out with Windows 10 - perhaps you recently realized that you want to install a new operating system!
Why install Windows 10:
Any update improves the system,
Above new Windows smart people worked - they know exactly what they are doing,
New hardware, third-party software, drivers, programs are optimized for the latest build of Windows.
You will receive many innovations, perhaps one day you will need them.
How to do this - let's take a closer look at how to install Windows 10 if:
You already have Windows XP, VISTA, maybe even Windows 7,
You have a new PC or laptop without an operating system,
Nothing works for you, but the operating system was once installed until you went to “that” site.
You don't understand why you should install Windows at all, because you have MAC OS.
So let's get started!
You already have Windows XP, VISTA or Windows 7, 8.
If you have Windows XP or VISTA, then, unfortunately, you won’t be able to upgrade to Windows 10 while saving and transferring data; we’ll look at how to do this on Windows 7 or 8 later.
After all, you have XP or Vista - save your photos and everything else on a flash drive or external HD and log in here. Check your PC or laptop against the minimum system requirements to install Windows 10 and draw your own conclusions. If your PC is not that old, then read below.
Installation using Windows 10 installation disc:
If you purchased a CD with a copy of Windows 10, then you need:
1) Restart your PC or laptop, if the BIOS login window does not appear, most likely you have “fast boot”, you need to disable it through the Control Panel / power options / action of the power buttons / change parameters that are currently unavailable / enable quick start(uncheck the box).
2) Enter BIOS or UEFI motherboard by pressing Delete buttons on the keyboard, in order not to miss the BIOS entry window, it is recommended to press the button repeatedly immediately after restarting the PC or laptop. If you have a laptop, then there may be problems. The fact is that on laptops various manufacturers Entry conditions may vary, even from the same manufacturer to different models Login options often differ. Don't be alarmed, look at the list below and look for your brand.
ASUS – F1, DEL
DELL – F1, F2, F3, Fn+F1
Lenovo – F2, F12, Del
HP – F1, F2, F10
Sony – F2, F3
Acer – F1,F2, Del
Samsung – F1, F2, F8, F12, Del
Toshiba – ESC, F1
3) Change the system boot parameters, set boot priority from CD or DVD-ROM, if you have an old PC or laptop, then it looks like this:
You need to go to the First Boot Device tab, it can be called Boot or Boot Device and set to boot from CDROM or DVDROM, depending on what drive is on your PC, usually DVDROM.
If you have a more or less new PC and its motherboard contains UEFI, then it looks like this:
Different manufacturers create different UEFI interfaces, in this case we see Gigabyte’s version, don’t be scared, despite the different graphics, just find the “Boot Options” directory and set boot from CD (DVD) ROM by default. Next, save the settings, insert the disk into the drive, press F10 (Save and Exit) or go to the Exit tab and exit saving the settings.
If everything worked out, the PC or laptop will start loading from the DVD ROM, and the message “” will appear on the black screen Press any key to boot from CD or DVD”, press the Enter or F8 key, then you just need to follow the Windows 10 installation guide.
4) Install windows 10, following the installation guide, format HDD and, if desired, break it into sections.
So, you have one last step left, what does it look like? If you did everything correctly, the Windows 10 installer will start working, you will see a window like this. Select Russian language, input method and click next.
Then in the next window click INSTALL:
If you don't have a key or want to enter it later, you can purchase it on the Microsoft website, then click skip. In the next window, click the checkbox and accept the license terms, click next.
In the next window, read the two tabs and remember that your OS does not support upgrading to Windows 10, select “Custom: Windows installation only.”
Here we come to the main thing, after selecting the installation type, a formatting window will open hard drives and selecting the installation location for Windows 10.
In our case, it is necessary to format the “main” partition on which XP or Vista was installed. If desired, if the hard drive is divided into 2 or more partitions, you can delete them and leave one partition on which the new Windows OS will be installed. It is recommended to create or leave all partitions except the main one, provided that the volume hard drive exceeds 320 GB. After editing the hard drive partitions, you must click next, after which the Windows installation process will begin.
5) After unpacking and installing the files and rebooting the PC, it is advisable to select the “use standard settings” item in the OS settings. After that, exciting days of operating Windows 10 await you. If your computer has not switched to booting from the hard drive, you need to enter the BIOS again and return the boot priority from the HDD or SSD, hard drive, reboot and use Windows 10.
Installing Windows 10 using a USB flash drive:
Let's consider another situation: you want to install Windows 10, you don't have a disk, and you're not going to buy one. There is another way, take out your flash drive and read below.
So, you will need a flash drive and an active computer; in our case, we will consider the option of working OS XP or VISTA.
Insert the flash drive into the connector of your PC or laptop and log in here. This link is to the official Microsoft website. Here it is worth remembering Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, download the OS update tool to Windows 10, and you can update the system while saving settings and files, unless of course you already have Windows 7 or 8, you also need to take into account that the free update is no longer valid, so you may need a license key.
Let's return to our situation: you need to download a ready-made image* of Windows 10 from the developer’s website or another site. Come in here and click download the tool now.
In one of our previous articles, we looked at the question of how to install Windows 10 on a computer running Windows 7, 8.1 by updating.
However, in some situations it may be necessary to perform a classic installation from a bootable USB flash drive or DVD.
If installing Windows 10 by updating two previous versions, the user must wait for some time.
After receiving the update, its data, programs (exceptions include games, antiviruses, standard media player) and their settings will be automatically transferred to the new system.
However, in some cases, a more acceptable solution would be to install the system from scratch.
Step 1: Upgrade your current system to Windows 10
As strange as it may sound, the first thing you need to do is update your current operating system to Windows 10.
If you purchased an electronic key Windows activation 10? you can go straight to next step, and for owners of “seven” and “eight” licenses, we will explain that when updating, the installed OS is checked for licensing and activation.
It is the presence of a license for Windows 7, 8, 8.1 that gives their owners the right to perform a free update within a year after the release of Windows 10.
Note! If the check is successful, the computer is registered on Microsoft servers, or rather, its unique components are registered. Thus, this registration and subsequent identification is carried out not for the account, but for computer hardware. You only need to update the system once to register with Microsoft, after which, after making sure that the system is activated, you can safely proceed with the installation.
You can update the system using a special Windows 10 Media Creation tool, which can be downloaded from Microsoft official website .
Step 2: Burn a Windows 10 image
Run the utility again Windows 10 Media Creation . Since we have updated the system, we select the second item:
We select the type of media (flash drive with a capacity of at least 4 GB or DVD) on which the image, architecture, language and version of the system will be written.
After recording, do not remove the OS media and proceed to the next step.
Step 3: Install Windows 10
Installing Windows 10 is no different from installing two latest versions this operating system. Let's briefly go through the main points.
After recording the OS to the media, it’s time to think about the safety of existing user data.
All data located on the system disk and of value, incl. on the desktop and user folders, you need to copy it to another local disk, removable hard drive or flash drive.
The first thing the system will offer is to connect to one of the available wireless networks and, if there are none, it will again ask you to enter the product license code.
The algorithm of actions is exactly the same as before, if you have a product key, enter it, if not, select the “Do it later” item.
In the next window we will be asked to increase the speed of work; to do this, go to the “Settings” menu.
If you are not very knowledgeable about this issue, select the “Use standard settings” option.
Next, create a user account. If you have a Microsoft account and your computer is connected to the Internet, you can log into it immediately. 
The last step will be the final setup of the system. Typically, this stage lasts 15–45 minutes, depending on the hardware of your PC.
And here in front of you is the desktop of the new operating system!
