No matter how hard they try in Russia to promote various alternative operating systems for computers like Linux or MacOS, it still more popular than Windows so far none of them have. Today, the most modern version of the OS from Microsoft is Windows 10. It has a convenient user interface, excellent functionality and extensive capabilities. In my opinion, this version has every chance of surpassing the legendary “seven” in popularity.
Despite the very, very friendly interface even for an untrained person, users still have questions. One of the most common questions is how to install Windows 10 on a clean computer from scratch. So let's take a closer look at it!
Preparing to install Windows 10
Before you do anything, you need to thoroughly prepare! The first thing you will need is installation disk or bootable flash drive with Windows image 10! The easiest way to do it is with a proprietary utility from Microsoft.
Despite the fact that outdated DVDs are often used to install Windows 10 on a computer, it is much easier and faster to use an installation flash drive. The only condition is that the capacity of the USB drive must be at least 4 Gigabytes.
It is also worth taking care of the drivers for the main components of the PC - motherboard, video adapter, sound card, WiFi adapter, etc. You can download separately software for each device on its manufacturer’s website, or use the tool automatic installation drivers. For example, DriversPack Solution.
After the installation flash drive is ready, plug it into the USB port. Now you need to force your computer or laptop to boot from it. To do this, when turning on, you need to press the “Del” key. On laptops, the “F2” button is most often used for this.
In the BIOS you need to go to the advanced parameters “Advanced Settings” and find the item “First Boot Device" Here you need to select “USB-HDD” from the list - this is a flash drive.
Note: On laptops, as a rule, the BIOS has a separate “Boot” section dedicated to booting the device:
Everything is the same here - we find the first boot device “1st Boot Priority” and set the installation media there from which we will install Windows on the PC.
Installing an operating system on a computer
The preparation is complete, now we proceed directly to the installation. If you did everything correctly, then after the next reboot the language selection will appear:
You will now be required to enter your product key. Without it, further actions will not be possible.
If you don’t have a license key, you can always use free installation keys for dozens, which can be found here -. They allow you to easily install Windows 10 on a computer or laptop, but then you still have to look for a licensed one somewhere or use alternative options.
Next step - license agreement, which no one ever reads:
The next stage is very important. If you are trying to install Windows 10 on a completely new HDD HDD or SSD, then first you need to mark it.
Click the “Create” button and below we get the following menu:
Here you need to specify the size of the created system disk. After you click the “Apply” button, the following window will pop up:
We agree by clicking on “Yes” and we see this picture:
The installer created a 500 megabyte system partition reserved by the system and the main installation partition for operating system.
Note: If you have a large hard drive, then it is better to make several partitions rather than one, but huge one.
If hard HDD drive or the SSD is already partitioned, then the partition selected for installing Windows 10 just needs to be formatted by clicking on the appropriate button.
During this process, the computer will restart at least once.
On average, installing Windows 10 on a computer or laptop takes from 20 minutes to an hour, depending on the characteristics of the device.
When the “Increase speed” window appears, it is best to select the “Use standard settings” option.
Again we wait for the installer to perform a series of operations.
Click on the line “This computer belongs to me” and on the “Next” button. Then you need to skip the step of entering your Microsoft account information.
Pay attention - are there any lines with exclamation point? These are unidentified components or devices for which Windows 10 does not have a standard driver. If everything is clean, then in principle the system can be used. Although I would still advise that as soon as the installation of Windows 10 is completed, be sure to run the utility DriverPack Solution and automatically update all drivers to the latest versions.
The point is that standard universal drivers are used for the computer to turn on, start and work more or less normally. They are not always suitable for user tasks and therefore such an update is extremely necessary.
Secondly, be sure to go to the “Dozens” settings and open the “Update and Security” section, where you start the process of searching for and installing system updates.
I am very grateful to you for your articles. Not a single site I have seen reflects so clearly, briefly, but at the same time and holistically, the most important topics for non-advanced users. I have bookmarked your site for a long time. The only site on computer topics.
You speak quite well about Windows 10. But I have strong concerns about the free distribution of the new OS. Too many facts in the world indicate that the world is gradually and purposefully moving towards total control and “democratic” dictatorship. Free cheese no one will give away out of altruism.
In connection with this question. How does Microsoft handle user tracking and control in W10? I read in one of the news about W10 that by default all tracking functions are enabled (and W10 monitors a lot and transfers it all to Microsoft), and it is very difficult for an inexperienced user to find where all this is disabled.
Second question. In the same article I read that in home version W10 user cannot refuse OS update. And in the “advanced” version of W10, it can only delay the installation of the next update for a short time. Is it so? I immediately have a scenario in which in five years there will be updates that will not suit anyone. For example, a ban on installing programs that have not received a certificate from Microsoft. Under the pretext of fighting viruses or piracy. And the use of all free, alternative and free software will be blocked. But W10 users will not be able to stop or cancel this update.
I would be glad to see you have a separate article on the issues I raised. Those. can W10 work on the Internet without contacting Microsoft. And can the user control and manage the OS update process?
Two more questions on other topics.
1. I read that W10 disables third-party antivirus and enables its own (built into the OS) if the third-party antivirus has not been updated for 3 days. Can this shutdown be controlled?
2. For me, any transition to new program- a big problem. And that’s why I still, for example, use MS Office 2003 (with an update to support the latest formats files). I also try, for moral reasons, not to use pirated programs. And therefore, many of my tasks are performed not by well-known hacked programs, but by little-known officially free programs. In connection with this question. How high is the percentage of programs that work on Windows 7 that do not work on Windows 10?

Hello Yuri.
Yes, we are being watched and will continue to be watched until Russia writes its own operating system.
By the way, if you don’t like Windows, then go to Linux, this operating system has an open source, you can see who is watching whom.
Updates on Windows 10 cannot yet be disabled, on any version, home or professional, since the system is still being finalized.
Windows 10 does not disable third-party antivirus; on the contrary, installing a third-party antivirus disables the built-in Windows Defender.
After upgrading from Win 7 to Win 10, a very small percentage of programs do not start.
After upgrading from Win 8.1 to Win 10, almost everything starts.
Let me start with the fact that I was lucky enough to get my hands on an entry-level Asus R540SA laptop, which is supplied and naturally sold in our stores without any operating system. I decided to install Windows 10 Pro on it, pursuing 3 goals: to find out the installation process itself (I haven’t done this for a very long time), to check the possibility Windows activation 10 key for Windows 8 (fortunately, one key was lying unclaimed for 3 years), and also see how the system behaves on fairly average laptop hardware. First things first.
A little about the Asus R540SA laptop
Despite its budget price, the laptop looks quite stylish. The dark chocolate lid made of durable plastic and the light brown body look very good together. I was struck by the lightness of the laptop, only 1.9 kg, as well as the body thickness of 25.4 mm, which is very unusual for budget laptops. Therefore, it is very light and easy to transport. It would seem, what can you expect from a laptop for 6,000 hryvnia? But it is equipped with all the connectors necessary for operation. Here they are all located on the left side of the case: 3.5 mm headphone jack, one at a time USB port 2.0, 3.0 and also a new connector USB Type-C, which is quite rare to find on laptops of this price segment. Nearby there are HDMI, VGA and LAN RJ-45 connectors, that is, you can connect to the Internet not only via a wireless interface, since the laptop is equipped Wi-Fi module 802.11 a/b/g/n, but also use a wired one, which I’m sure will please many, because for some reason manufacturers have recently preferred to get rid of this connector in budget laptops.
Also ASUS R540SA bluetooth module 4.0, allowing you to transfer data between devices at speeds up to 1 Mbit/s.
Particularly noteworthy is the island-type keyboard, which allows you to quickly and easily type text without the risk of making a mistake when pressing keys, and a fairly sensitive touchpad with an increased area that supports some of the gestures. Of course, you shouldn’t expect that such a laptop will have the latest hardware installed.
The 15.6-inch ASUS R540SA has a standard resolution of 1366×768 for an inexpensive laptop and a glossy surface, although it does not reflect much in the sun, which makes it comfortable to work on.
It is worth noting that ASUS developers were able to implement, even in such an entry-level laptop, a whole range of software and hardware designed to improve sound quality. Watching movies, TV series, videos and listening to music on it is a pleasure. He will definitely get his money's worth in this regard. But with the camera for video calls, everything is sad: it is only 0.3 megapixel resolution in our time!!! For me, such a camera is no longer very pleasant and convenient.
It's even worse with performance and memory. I understand that for such a price it’s still divine, but still. In a laptop, 2-core is responsible for performance Intel processor Celeron with a maximum clock speed of 1.6 GHz (2.16 GHz in Turbo mode Boost), 2 GB random access memory and integrated Intel HD Graphics. The processor is built on a modern 14-nm process technology, which means it does not heat up and has low power consumption. Okay, it's a mid-range processor, but in 2016, 2 GB of RAM is very little. I'm thinking about adding memory, but if the module is not soldered to motherboard. It's worth mentioning that it supports DDR3L 1.35V low voltage mode instead of the 1.5V that DDR3 typically uses.
The laptop has a non-removable lithium ion battery, which will allow you to work for up to 4 hours according to the manufacturer. I can tell from personal experience, which works up to 3 hours no more.
As you can see, I have a very average laptop and still without any operating system, the installation of which I want to tell you about later.
Installing Windows 10 Pro
I already wrote above that I haven’t installed an OS on such laptops for a long time, so it was very interesting how exactly new Windows 10 will cope with this task. I, from yours permissions, I’ll omit the details of preparation Windows ISO images 10. I have already written about this many times in my articles. I will only note that I have once again become convinced that no third-party utility other than MediaCreationTool is simply needed. It does an excellent job of installing the OS.
Since my laptop is completely naked and there is nothing on it, my first step was naturally to look into the BIOS. This has also been written and discussed many times. Let me just post a picture with possible key combinations for entering the BIOS for almost all laptops.
Having entered that same BIOS, our main and only task is in the section BOOT, which is easy to navigate using buttons up-down, right-left, find yours here bootable USB flash drive, which do not forget to insert into the USB connector of the laptop. Now you need to put it in system boot priority using the same keys up down, then press the key F10 And Enter. We kindly ask you not to click or change anything else in the BIOS.
You will know that the download has started when you see a page with a choice of interface language, country and operating system version. That is, the procedure is actually similar to a clean installation of Windows 10. But I had one nuance, the solution to which I want to tell you about. When selecting a disk to install the operating system, it turned out that I could not do this, since my disk partitions had the format MBR, and for installation you need GPT. Many people encounter this problem, so I think it is necessary to describe ways to solve it.
You can solve the problems of converting MBR and GPT partitions using Command line , which can be opened with a set of keys Shift+F10.You need to run the utility diskpart, then enter the command Listdisk to display a list of physical drives connected to your computer. Next, choose required disk from the list that appears with the command selectdiskN, Where N- the number of your disk you want to convert. It must be cleared by entering the command clean. All that remains is to enter the command convertgpt and the disk is ready to install the operating system. In the same way you can convert from GPT V MBR, changing the last word when converting. I also want to note that in recent years I have stopped partitioning my hard drive into separate partitions. I once asked this question on the Microsoft forum, to which I received an explanation that new HDDs/SSDs do not require special partitioning. While HDD drives are usually divided into partitions, many manufacturers do NOT recommend partitioning SSD drives. I predict your reaction to this phrase and therefore point out that NOT recommended does not mean IMPOSSIBLE. It all depends on your personal desires and needs. Everything works fine for me without dividing into sections and there have never been any force majeure circumstances.
I was very pleased that the installation took me no more than 40 minutes. Just answer the questions and click next. There is one observation: recently, when installing Windows 10, the system asks you to enter instead WI-FI password router PIN code, which can be easily found on the body of your device. I don’t know what this is connected with, but the fact remains a fact. And I highly recommend that when installing Windows 10, you must have access to the Internet. The reason for this request is very prosaic: if there is an Internet connection, then Windows 10 installs the drivers itself, providing a digital signature. Simply put, you don’t have to dig through manufacturers’ websites to search for necessary drivers. Forget it if you bought it new laptop, even without an installed operating system.
After a while, the desktop will open and everything will be downloaded to your laptop. preinstalled programs and applications from Microsoft, which means you can safely use your device.
Activating Windows 10 with a Windows 8 license key
As I said above, after installation the Desktop opened, the system works fine, but it needs to be activated. This can be done in two ways: when the system asks you to enter the key during activation itself (I simply skipped this point) or through Settings-Update and Security-Activation. Since I did not have a Windows 10 activation key, I decided to try to activate the OS using the Windows 8 activation key, which had been quietly waiting in the wings for 3 years. I read that there is such a method, but I had to check it.
To my surprise, everything went smoothly and without surprises. Literally a minute later, my Windows 10 Pro was activated, which was eloquently written about in the Activations section. That is, there is also this method of activating Windows 10. I don’t know how long this loophole will exist, but it saved me a decent amount.
How Windows 10 Pro works on a budget laptop
For almost a week now, I have been working daily on a new laptop: writing articles, making presentations, communicating on in social networks, read news on portals, etc.
Of course I don’t play on it, I rarely play games at all. I can say with full responsibility that the laptop copes with its task “excellently”. Yes, it's slower than the Surface Pro 3, and it lacks RAM and doesn't have a very fast processor, but it's worth the money. In today's economic crisis, if you set it up correctly and don't expect anything supernatural from it, you can easily buy a budget laptop for home use and studies. Windows 10 works great on it and copes with all the tasks necessary for the average user. It is important to configure the system correctly, do not download programs from unfamiliar resources, and do not search for drivers and utilities. And then using Windows 10 will only bring joy.
