However, as practice shows, with each update of the operating system and its versions, as well as after the release of the final update, the installation methods for the Dozens have changed slightly. Therefore, in case of errors, we recommend that you consider ways of how to reinstall Windows 10 from a USB flash drive or disk.
Preparatory Steps Before Installing Widnows 10?
Under preparatory actions before reinstalling Windows 10, it means creating a backup copy of the data and writing the image to a USB flash drive. To do this, you can use third party programs... However, Windows 10 has built-in tools that allow you to back up your data in just a few steps.
- Click "Start", "Settings" and select the "Updates and Security" section.
- A small window will open. In the menu on the left you need to select "Archiving Service".
- Drag the slider to the "On" position in the "Automatic backup files ".
- A button "Add disk" will appear under this section. By clicking on it, the system itself will search for a drive to save a backup copy on it.
- A list of discs will appear in the menu on the left. We select the one on which you want to store the copy files.
IMPORTANT! It is possible to create a backup on external media or in the cloud. To do this, when choosing, you need to click on "Options" and select a suitable storage
- As soon as the drive is selected, the file backup starts.
IMPORTANT! The Dozens backup feature copies the user's personal files, contacts, items from the desktop, and OneDrive directories. Copies of files are created in the libraries Documents, Videos, Music, Images. So put desired folders and files to these directories
After you've backed up your data, it's worth creating a bootable media. For this there is an official utility from Microsoft that allows you to write Windows files to a removable drive. There are also two other ways to write a system image to a USB flash drive.
IMPORTANT! It is desirable that the flash drive has at least 8 GB of free space. Better to use bootable media 16 and 32 GB
Method One - Windows USB / DVD Download Tool
The operating principle of this program is also simple.
- We launch the program (we have an example with version 1809) and accept the license agreement.
- We choose to create installation media.
- We select the language, assembly and bitness of the system.
- We choose to write the image to a USB drive.
- We select the disk.
- The download and image of the system will start. We are waiting for the recording. The drive is ready.
The third way is using the Rufus program
In order to create installation media using the program, you should follow these steps:
- We launch the program.
- Choosing a device. V in this case, it will be a USB stick.
- Select the boot method "Disk or ISO image". As soon as you choose this method, a small "Add" button will appear. Click on it and indicate the path to the previously loaded image.
- We select a disk partitioning scheme on which the Ten will be installed. For most modern computers, you need to choose GPT, since MBR is an option for older assemblies that do not support UEFI. In case you decide to install the system on a separate drive, then it is better to choose GPT.
- Next, select the type of file system. In our case, this is NTFS, since FAT32 works with drives up to 4 GB, and windows image 10 takes up a little more space.
- We click start. The USB stick is recorded and ready to use.
How to install Windows 10: installation options and an overview of the installation process?
There are many ways to reinstall Windows 10 using a USB flash drive or disk. Let's consider the main one, which is used by 90% of users.
First, you need to set the boot priority to use a flash drive.
Having saved the settings, we start the installation of the operating system.
First, select the system language and layout.
Click "Install".
if you have license key, then we introduce it. If not, then click "Do it later." Next step there will be an operating system build selection.
We accept the terms of the license agreement.
Now a new window will open. Here you need to partition the disk. Select all the current sections and click "Delete" and use the "Create" button to set new ones. Then select the disk for installation (in this case it is C) and click "Next".
IMPORTANT! Windows 10 is very power hungry + regularly updated. Therefore, it is worth allocating 30-50 GB of memory for the C drive.
Now that you have decided on the section and clicked "Next", the files will be copied and the system will reboot.
As soon as the system reboots, you need to disconnect the USB flash drive (pull it out). For some time, a black screen with the "Tens" logo and the message "Preparation in progress" will flaunt on the monitor. Sometimes the computer will restart itself, sometimes change the backlight or freeze. This is a familiar reaction. We don't touch anything.
Re-enter the key or skip this stage.
Now you need to configure the parameters. You can click "Use default settings" or set your own.
Optionally, you need to select a keyboard layout.
Sign in with your Microsoft account. Enter the pin code to log in or do not use it (previously there was a password).
Setting up OneDrive. In the next window, you need to examine the privacy options.
After you log in, the installation of Windows 10 will be completely completed. All that remains is to install the drivers. We recommend starting with the frameworks and the chipset, then - all the rest. Upload software it is necessary only from the official websites of equipment manufacturers.
What to do if Windows 10 fails to install?
If you were unable to install Windows 10, there may be several reasons for this:
- there is not enough free space to complete the installation and download updates;
- incompatible drivers;
- incompatibility installed equipment with an operating system;
- the presence of bad sectors on the hard disk;
- faulty service pack;
- the work of the anti-virus program.
Choose the correct option for the reason for the failure in reinstalling Windows 10 is hard enough. You will have to perform a number of diagnostic steps. This is the only way to fix the problem. Therefore, use the methods on how to reinstall Windows 10 from a bootable USB flash drive and the system will work stably.
In some situations, users may need information on how to install Windows from a USB flash drive through the BIOS. To date, the issue is relevant due to several reasons, including the need for emergency reinstallation software package Windows. It may happen that the distribution kit will be written to the most ordinary USB-drive, and not to a disk, because the use of such a source of information storage is convenient. It's worth noting that many modern laptops simply don't come with a DVD drive, which has allowed manufacturers to create ultra-thin devices. In this case, reinstalling the necessary for operation Windows versions XP, 7, 8.1, 10 is possible exclusively from a USB flash drive or an external hard drive, which are connected via USB. Whoever installed the software package knows that this process is not complicated, but it requires certain knowledge and skills from the user, without which it will not be possible to start the process. The installation of the upstream version of Windows XP, 7, 8.1, 10 begins with entering the BIOS, the parameters of which you need to be able to figure out. It should be noted that through the BIOS from a flash drive, you can not only install the software package, but also carry out a deep check of the system for the presence malware, which in some cases allows you to establish the correct operation of Windows XP, 7, 8.1, 10 on a user computer or laptop.
When it is not possible to use a DVD drive, a flash drive comes to the rescue
Preparing for installation
If you purchased a laptop with a preinstalled licensed software package Windows 7, 8.1 or 10, then you should remember that it is called a factory distribution kit. We recommend that you prepare in advance for a situation when you need to reinstall the operating system and useful programs from the manufacturer. In this case, the distribution is written to DVD-R disc, USB flash drive or external hard drive. In the last two cases, it will be necessary to configure certain parameters in the BIOS.
Installing an unfamiliar version of Windows XP, 7, 8.1, or 10 is very similar to installing a factory distribution. The main task of the user is to start the process, and then the system automatically installs the software package on a computer or laptop. We recommend that you pay attention to the choice installation files, since on the Internet you can find a huge number of pirated versions of software systems that do not work correctly after installation.
There are sequential instructions that describe the process of writing an operating system image to a USB flash drive that will be used to Windows installations on a computer or laptop. A successful result will depend on the quality of the image and the correctness of the algorithm execution.
So, reinstalling the operating system from a USB drive includes the following steps:
- Writing installation files to a USB drive.
- Transfer of all the files you need in the future from the C drive to protect them from deletion.
- Installing a USB flash drive.
- Launching BIOS and changing settings in the menu. It is necessary to search for information on how to enter BIOS on a specific computer or laptop.
- Starting the installation of the operating system.
Before starting the BIOS, all users should understand that the flash drive must already be connected to the working connector USB laptop or a computer. It is worth noting that the BIOS can be launched by a combination of different keys, for example, multiple press Del, Esc, F12, F10. This action is always carried out at the moment of device loading. The input method depends on the BIOS manufacturer and on the computer model. Users should be prepared that the mouse will not work in this mode. All control in BIOS is performed by pressing keys. However, no one has any difficulties with this. The main task after entering such a menu is to launch automatic installation from a flash drive. After the start Windows installations no user intervention is required.
Key combinations vary by BIOS manufacturer
Changing BIOS Settings and Starting Installation
Immediately after entering the BIOS, you need to find a tab called Boot. Often the section you need is named in one word. Different versions BIOSes have a different interface, but the Boot tab is usually present in all firmwares. After entering the tab, you should select the Hard Disk Drives item, where the order of device recognition will be presented.
Users should understand that for a start automatic download the operating system needs the flash drive to be listed in the first place in the BIOS. Opposite the parameter "1 st Boot Device"A device must be installed that has the word" usb "in its name. Rearrangement of devices in places is carried out using the Enter and Up, Down, Left, Right keys.
After all the changes have been installed, you need to save them. To do this, use the F10 button. There are many hints in the BIOS to help a newbie navigate. Then all that remains is to restart the computer or laptop, after which the process will start automatically.
Installing Windows 7, 8.1 or 10 from a USB flash drive via BIOS will solve the troubleshooting problem if the device does not have a DVD drive. Besides, flash drives are a reliable source of information storage. Usually, when installing a software package from a USB flash drive, there are no failures or difficulties.

Installing Windows 10 from a USB flash drive via BIOS
Before we start to figure out how to install Windows 10 from a USB flash drive via BIOS, I will allow myself a few comments: If you have already bought a computer with a pre installed Windows 10, then with a clear conscience you can skip this material. In this article, you will not find anything interesting if you already have the system installed.
If you already have Windows 7, you can upgrade to Windows 10 using the standard system update mechanism - just turn on the Center service windows updates 10.
Installing Windows 10 via a USB flash drive may only be necessary if you bought new computer without operating system and bought separately installation disc Windows 10. The installation of the "ten" is almost the same as the "seven", but, as always, there is one thing.
Usually, licensed Windows 10 is supplied on DVD. But some modern computers are no longer equipped with a DVD drive. Examples of such computers are compact PCs designed for media centers, ultrabooks and netbooks. These are all compact devices, and there is simply no room in their case for a bulky DVD drive. What to do? You need to somehow put Windows 10 on a USB flash drive, boot from it and install Windows 10 from a USB flash drive.
Creating a bootable USB drive
Creating a bootable USB flash drive can be done in different ways (in detail, How to create a bootable USB flash drive for windows 10). The first of them is to use the standard tool from Microsoft - Windows 10 Installation Media Creation Tool, which can be downloaded at: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10.
This tool is quite simple to use. Run it, choose which edition of Windows 10 you will install. The tool also allows you to select the bitness of the installed Windows. If your computer has less than 4 GB of RAM, then you do not need to torment it with a 64-bit assembly.
When prompted for where to put the Windows distribution, select your USB flash drive. At the end of the program, you will have a ready-made bootable media (namely, a USB flash drive).
Installing Windows 10 through a USB flash drive in BIOS
In order to install Windows 10 from a USB flash drive via BIOS, enter the BIOS SETUP of your computer and select boot from a USB flash drive (depending on the type of media from which you will install Windows 10). On stationary computers, the DEL key is usually used to enter BIOS SETUP. Laptops may have different keys and even key combinations. The F2 key is used quite often. Some BIOSes display a prompt similar to the following:
Press to enter SETUP
Everything is clear here. You need to press the F2 key, and you will be taken to SETUP. Some display a graphical splash screen without any prompts. With these more difficult, as you need to refer to the documentation to figure out how to enter BIOS SETUP. See the article: How to put a boot from a USB flash drive into BIOS
After downloading from you will be taken to the language selection menu. As a rule, the Russian language will be selected immediately, and you just need to click Next. If you have ever installed previous versions Windows (versions 7 and 8), this window will seem painfully familiar to you.
After that, you will see a window with a single Install button. To be honest, it was always interesting why it is needed and why not go straight to the window with the license terms?
After you accept the license terms, you will have to choose the type of installation. Since we are installing the system on a new computer, we need to select Custom: Install Windows only.
Immediately after that, you need to select the drive on which you are installing Windows 10. Why haven't we discussed before system requirements? Yes, because "ten" can be installed on any modern and not very computer. If you are interested, then you can install Windows 10 in virtual machine with a single core processor and one gigabyte of RAM. Why virtual? Yes, because a real machine with 1 GB of "RAM" in 2016 is very difficult to find, and I wanted to check the minimum system requirements declared by Microsoft. The system worked fine. Of course, to the best of my ability. But I think you will be fine with the hardware.
The only thing that the "ten" is demanding for (as well as the "eight") is to free disk space. The minimum (as Microsoft assures) is 20 GB for the 64-bit version and 16 GB for the 32-bit version. But Microsoft lies a little. The 64-bit build has grown to 25 GB within hours of installation. But with 32-bit everything is much more pleasant - it took 6 GB immediately after installation and update. Only 6 GB. It is clear that in the course of work it will grow, but I think the declared 16 GB correspond to reality.
The installation process of the system will begin, after which it will be rebooted. Depending on performance hard disk, this process can take from several minutes to several tens of minutes. On SSD drives, installation takes place in minutes.
After reboot
After a reboot (which will be fully automatic), you will have to contemplate a black screen with the Windows 10 logo and the inscription Preparation in progress for a while. After that, the installer will offer to set some parameters. All the parameters that he will offer to set by clicking the Configure parameters button can be changed after installation, so I suggest not to waste time setting them and click the Use standard parameters button.
Next, Windows 10 will try to get critical updates from the Microsoft website, but this is only if the computer is immediately connected to the Internet, for example, using a local network(to the provider or to the router), for all other types of connection you need presetting.
Who owns the computer?
Who owns your computer - you personally or your organization? Select the appropriate option when Windows asks you about it. If you accidentally choose that the computer belongs to an organization, but in fact it is not (the service will not be deployed on the network Active Directory), then you will see a message stating that login is not possible. It's okay, just click the Skip button.
Create user account
The next step in the installation is to create a user account. Windows 10, unlike Windows 8, does not offer to create a Microsoft account during installation. This is understandable: there is not always a connection to the Internet at the stage of system installation, and users are more willing to use ordinary local accounts. Later, if you want to take advantage of certain features of the system, you will be prompted to create a Microsoft account.
So, enter your username and provide a password. You can omit the password - in this case, you will be logged into the system without a password. However, the presence of even the most simple password significantly increases the security of data encryption by standard means systems. Therefore, if you plan to work with data on your computer that you want to encrypt using EFS, be sure to set a password.
There is very little left
After creating a user, the system will ask you to wait a little while it configures the applications. After configuring the applications, the system will ask you to choose whether you want to allow other computers and devices on this network to discover your PC. If there are other computers in your network, select Yes, if there are no other computers and you do not plan to work in the local network, then select No.
Actually, that's all. You will see a desktop with new version Windows. Don't switch: the next article will look at the new features of the top ten.

How to install Windows 10 from a USB flash drive via BIOS? - Instruction
In order to understand how to install Windows 10 from a flash drive, you need to understand one important point: the installation process consists of three stages, namely, creating bootable media, BIOS setup and use of the drive for its intended purpose.
We will analyze all these three stages step by step and in great detail, so that no one has any questions and everyone can easily install Windows 10 on a laptop or PC. Go!
Step # 1. Creating a bootable USB drive
As such a medium can also be used not only a removable drive, that is, a USB flash drive, but also a regular DVD or even a CD disc. But this type of information storage has long become a relic of the past and it is much more convenient to take a USB drive.
Easiest to create boot drive using the official utility from Microsoft, which can be downloaded from the official website. It's called the Media Creation Tool, although it's not that important. When you have done this, launch it and do the following simple actions:
- After starting, you will have to wait a little while the program prepares for further actions. When it finishes, you will see the license agreement. If desired, you can read it, but in any case, you need to click on the "Accept" button.
Rice. # 1. Media Creation Tool License Agreement
- At the next step, check the box next to "Create installation media for another computer" and click "Next".
Rice. # 2. Options in the Media Creation Tool
- Next, check the box "USB flash drive" and click "Next" again.
Rice. No. 3. Imaging options in the Media Creation Tool
- If you want to create an image of exactly the same operating system that is already used on your computer, you do not need to change anything in the next window, just click "Next". If you want to write a different version of the OS to the USB flash drive, uncheck the box "Use recommended settings for this computer" and change the settings "Edition" and "Architecture". After that, again, click Next.
Rice. No. 4. Select language, architecture and release window in the Media Creation Tool
- Then it remains to check all the previously entered parameters and click on the "Record" button. Wait for the program to finish its work. This process usually does not take very long.
It should be said that this utility hangs very rarely, so if it seems to you that everything has stopped and nothing is happening, it is better not to interrupt the recording process. Instead, just wait a little longer.
Of course, if all this has been going on for several hours, then something is wrong, but this is very unlikely. In any case, you will receive a fully functional bootable storage device with installation Windows files 10.
You can also create it using the very famous and simple program UltraISO. How to do this is described in our article on updating the OS on a laptop.
Now you need to make the computer boot from it. This is done through BIOS.
Step # 2. BIOS setup
Before starting the installation itself, it is important to configure your computer to boot from a USB flash drive. This procedure will look different depending on the BIOS / UEFI version.
To initially get into the BIOS, you need to press a certain key at boot time, most often Delete or F2. Usually on the boot screen, among other inscriptions, it is written what button should be pressed.
How it might look is shown in picture # 5.
Rice. No. 5. Specifying a button for BIOS boot on the loading screen
- AMI BIOS. In this case, you need to use the "Up", "Down", "Right", "Left" and "Enter" keys to go to the "Boot" tab at the top. Next, go to the "Hard Disk Drives" section and click on "1st Drive". There, put a USB flash drive in the first place - you can recognize it by its name. Do the same in the "Boot device priority" section, only there the required item will be called "1st boot device". Press "Esc" to exit and restart your computer if it did not happen automatically.
Rice. No. 6. Installing a USB flash drive in the first place to boot into AMI BIOS
- AWARD or Phoenix BIOS. Go to the "Advanced BIOS Features" section and find the item " First Boot Device ". Press "Enter" on it and in the window that appears, select the option "USB-HDD" or "USB-Flash". Press "Esc" to exit.
Rice. No. 7. Installing a USB flash drive in the first place to boot into AWARD or Phoenix BIOS
- h3O BIOS. Everything here is almost the same as in the AMI BIOS. First you need to go to the "Boot" tab, but then you should click on the "External Device Boot" item and select the "Enabled" option. Then, in the "Boot Priority" section, put "External Device" in the first place. This is done using the "F5" and "F6" buttons. Again, exit this menu with the Esc key.
Rice. No. 8. Installing a USB flash drive in the first place to boot into the h3O BIOS
If you are already using UEFI, and not BIOS, then everything is much simpler.
In this case, the procedure is to go to the Boot Sequense or BIOS Features section and then Boot Options. After that, you can simply drag the USB flash drive to the first download location with the mouse cursor. It also happens that the desired menu item is called “Download Queue” or something like that.
Rice. No. 9. Options for installing removable media in the first place for booting into UEFI
Though Windows users 8 and younger with UEFI, you don't even need to go to the system menu. Here it is enough to do the following:
- using the search, find the "Update and Recovery" window;
- go to the "Recovery" tab on the left;
- click on the "Restart now" button;
Rice. No. 10. Update & Restore Menu and Restart Now Button
- then click on the "Use device" button;
- choose your flash drive from the list that appears.
Rice. No. 11. Selecting an action and a list of devices available for download
As you can see, everything is extremely simple. If something doesn't work out for you, it's best to refer to the instructions for your computer or the Microsoft help page. But we have listed most of the options available today.
Step # 3. Directly installation
Actually, now you need to use the created bootable media to install Windows 10. If you did it in the way described in step # 1, then the installation process will look like this:
- After booting the computer, a window will appear in which you need to select the language that you will use, the time format and the input method, that is, the keyboard layout. If you used the Russian language before, all these parameters will be set for Russia by default. All this can be changed by simply clicking on the appropriate item. When the parameters are specified, click Next.
Rice. No. 12. Window for choosing language, time format and layout during installation
- On the next screen, just click the "Install" button. She is the only one there and it is impossible to confuse her with something else.
- Next, a window for entering the product license key will appear. If you have it, enter and click "Next". And if not, click on the inscription "I do not have a product key." It will still be redirected to the next Windows installation screen.
Important! If you created an image of your system, enter the key for it. This is also true for cases when you install the OS on another computer.
Rice. No. 13. License key entry window
- If you entered the key, the version of the operating system will be detected automatically. And if you clicked on the option in which you do not have a product key, you will have to select it yourself. Of course, it is advisable to choose the same version that is already used on the computer, but you can click on another. At the end, click "Next".
Rice. No. 14. Selecting the operating system version to install
- Then you have to agree with the license agreement. If there is a desire, it can even be read, although very few people around the world do it. In any case, check the box next to "I accept the license terms" below and click "Next".
Rice. No. 15. Windows license
- If you just want to update already the existing system and save all files and settings, in the next window click on the first option, that is, "Update: installing Windows with saving ...". But if you want to remove everything and put on your computer a completely clean OS without files and settings (which, by the way, may have caused any breakdowns on your computer), choose the second option - "Custom: only installing Windows ...". If you wish, by the way, you can read in more detail about these options. To do this, you need to click on the inscription "Help in making a decision" a little below.
Rice. No. 16. System installation options
- One of the operations that is performed when custom installation, is the partition of the hard drive. How this procedure goes and what its principles are, you can read in our article on partitioning disks (method number 3). Perform all the operations provided for a custom installation and click "Next".
- Then you can simply watch the installation progress step by step. Usually copied first required files, then they prepare to install, and finally installs features and updates. It's just worth the wait here.
Rice. No. 17. Installation process step by step
- Actually, this completes the installation. But you still need to perform the initial setup of the system. As part of this step, you will again choose your location, keyboard layout, create an account with Microsoft, or simply log in if you already have one. You can also optionally set a login code, connect cloud storage and set up privacy.
Tip: Check all drivers after installation. The easiest way to do this is to use the program DriverPack Solution... It allows you not only to check, but also to update the driver, if necessary.
This completes the entire installation process and you can freely use Windows 10.

The process of installing "Windows 10" from a USB flash drive: highlights
Not so long ago, the latest Windows 10 operating system was presented. Installation on a computer or laptop with a DVD drive does not raise any questions. Netbooks are more complicated. Let's look at the options for installing Windows 10 from a USB flash drive to such devices. Here you need to understand that other methods simply do not exist.
The simplest method of installing Windows 10 from a USB flash drive over an existing system
Actually, you don't have to go far to install a new OS. It is installed without any problems or additional steps, as it was with Windows 7 and 8, from a regular USB drive.
In the simplest version, a program for installing Windows 10 from a USB flash drive called Media Creation Tool is used. In this case new operating system put on top of the old one (update to a more recent version). You just need to run the program to start the process of downloading the distribution kit with subsequent installation, where the Upgrade item is selected in the installation parameters, which allows you to save absolutely all the previously specified system settings.
How to install "Windows 10" from a USB flash drive with removing the old system
Another thing is when the old OS needs to be removed completely. If anyone does not know, this is achieved by formatting the partition into which the installation will be performed. Only here you need to keep in mind that initially in the "top ten" it is supposed to be able to rollback (return to the old OS to the state that preceded the installation of Windows 10).
As already clear, after formatting the hard drive or hard disk partition, this possibility will be completely excluded. So first think about which option is preferable.
Create an image
Now let's look at how to install Windows 10 from a USB flash drive with the condition complete removal existing OS. Needless to say, you need to download an installation distribution or disk image. If the distribution is not loaded as an image, you will have to create it.
To do this, you can use any utilities that can work with disk images. Then it needs to be written to a USB drive. For example, in the UltraISO program, the desired file is first opened, after which the boot menu is used, where the command to write the hard disk image is selected (in this case, our flash drive is selected in the window that appears). A warning will appear stating that all data from the media will be deleted. We agree and start the recording process.
Please note: if USB-HDD recording mode is not enabled by default, it is highly recommended to enable it.
BIOS settings
The problem of how to install Windows 10 from a USB flash drive is not limited to creating a bootable USB drive. To computer system reacted to such a boot device, it must be set first in the boot priority in the BIOS settings.
The BIOS is accessed using the Del, F2, F12 keys, etc. (it all depends on the brand of the device and the manufacturer of the BIOS). Here you need to find the settings of the Boot Device Priority type and as the main boot device specify a flash drive. Such actions can be performed only if the flash drive was inserted into the corresponding port before turning on the computer, laptop or netbook. Otherwise, the device will not be detected, and it simply will not be in the list of available devices.
Installation process and initial setup
So, the boot from the USB drive has occurred, and the installation process has begun. In the first step, you will need to specify the language used, the time and currency format, and the keyboard layout or input method. Next, we agree with the license, after which, in a new window, select the item not Upgrade, but Custom and activate the installation process.
It remains to wait 10-15 minutes (again, depending on the device model), and at the end of the installation, reboot the system (if it is not done automatically), go to the BIOS settings again and set the first device in the boot priority HDD.
Now let's look at the initial boot of the operating system. Here you need to select the Settings item, and then go to either quick settings(Express Settings) if you do not need to change the default settings, or use their change (Customize) if you need to customize the basic configuration for yourself. As practice shows, it is better not to change anything.
However, you can play with the settings and rebuild them in terms of driver updates, ensuring privacy on the Internet, providing or prohibiting the tracking system of the current location or personal data in some other applications, immediately create an account account Microsoft records and a backup method for its recovery, for example, through email or mobile phone, check the created account, provide the ability to save photos or other documents in cloud storage Microsoft One Drive, etc. However, all this is done solely at the request of the user himself.
After completing all the settings, the installation can be considered complete. The system is ready for use.
Conclusion
Finally, it remains to add that the process of installing Windows 10 from a USB flash drive is not so difficult. It looks much simpler than the installation of the same "seven". Sometimes, however, an error may occur when installing Windows 10 from a USB flash drive. This is most often due to the wrong BIOS settings, damage to the USB drive itself, lack of free space on the hard drive or incorrect entries in system registry... As practice shows, an error can appear mainly when updating an existing OS to version 10. In most cases, during installation, so to speak, "from scratch" this happens very rarely.

How is a clean installation of Windows 10 from a USB flash drive through BIOS on the example of a budget laptop
Friends, hello everyone! In this article, I want to show you how, in practice, a clean installation of Windows 10 from a USB flash drive via BIOS is carried out. The whole thing will happen on a living example. budget laptop Lenovo. After all, if you remember, in the last article a special bootable drive was already prepared.
Therefore, now the whole process will be shown from start to finish, so that even novice users will not have any questions. And I must say right away that there is nothing abstruse in this matter, you just have to do it with your own hands once and all fears will go away by themselves.
And yet, at the very beginning, I want to apologize for the poor quality of some of the photos, because the whole operation took place late at night and the standard flash of the camera coped with the task assigned to it so-so. Now, let's get started.
At the first step, you need to go to BIOS to install the initial boot from a previously prepared flash drive. I described in great detail how to do this in this publication. In our case, the correct parameters are as follows.
Before exiting, do not forget to press the key combination to save the changes. The next step is to specify your regional preferences. In general, no comment, just look at the picture below.
The next window is waiting for us " Windows activation". Therefore, if you have a license key, you can enter it. If it is not there or some pirated activator will be used in the future, click on the item" I do not have a product key ".
Now you will need to specify the version and bitness of the installed operating system. Personally, I recommend the most complete one, that is, select the "Windows 10 Pro" item.
After that, you should accept several licensing agreements of the following type.
And here comes one of the key moments. Now you need to choose the type of installation. Since we want to carry out a clean installation, then, accordingly, we select the second item, which is called "Custom: Windows Installation Only".
At the same time, it is important to understand that in this case all information from the system drive C will be deleted, since in the future we will have a complete formatting. But only after that you can be sure that the system is on a really pristine-clean partition.
After this comes the second key episode. Here you should specify the logical partition of the disk on which the installation will be performed. Of course, this would logically be the aforementioned section C, but how do you define it correctly in the installer?
If you look at the screenshot above, it becomes clear that this is a computer hard drive that has never been used before, since it is not even properly marked. Therefore, using the buttons "Delete - New - Format" we bring it to the right kind... Like this.
Please note that "Disk 0 Partition 4" will be the system drive C in our case, but "Disk 0 Partition 5" is a logical one, which is needed to store music, video and other nonsense.
Therefore, if your hard drive has already been used before, then there may be several such additional partitions. Therefore, do not try to format them, otherwise you will lose all data.
Let's once again consolidate this common truth: it is necessary to format only the partition on which a clean installation of Windows 10 will be performed. You can, of course, additional "pochikat", but this is done in the case of a complete understanding of the process, so that later it would not be offensive for the lost information ...
Now let's touch on the items "Disc 0 Section 1 -2 -3" in more detail. As you can see in the picture above, they take up from 16 to 450 MB. So, these are service hidden sections which are automatically created by Windows 10. They are needed to store system files and backups... Naturally, we do not take them into account and, in general, do not touch upon them.
As a result, after all the above manipulations, the process of copying files should start. I will say right away that you will have to be patient here, since you will not be able to quickly skip this stage.
Upon completion, the PC should reboot and start configuring various services. First, you will be asked to select your country of residence, language and keyboard layout.
Then all available Wi-Fi networks... If you wish, you can immediately configure the connection. In general, it is very cool when the system immediately uses network adapters laptop. In the future, this will greatly facilitate the installation of drivers from the Internet.
If for some reason you want to postpone this operation for later, select the "Skip for now" option. In the next step, the installer will ask you to enter an arbitrary account name and password. By the way, you don't even need to specify the latter, just leave the line empty.
After that, you will need to wait a little, then the system will go to reboot again. But this is the last time. And here it is, the much-desired desktop. This means that we have succeeded!
Therefore, now we can safely say that a clean installation of Windows 10 from a USB flash drive via BIOS was successful. What is left to do now? All device drivers need to be updated, of course, as some of them may not be present in the installer. I strongly recommend this method.
Then all that remains is to establish required programs... Which ones and in what quantity you will think for yourself, but I will tell you about an interesting way to do it online in the next publication. So stay tuned to the blog carefully. And in conclusion, let's watch an interesting video.
Detailed instructions on how to install Windows 10 yourself from a USB flash drive
Often we are faced with the need to install the system after buying a computer or laptop.
The device is not always sold with a pre-installed system. Or on it, maybe the wrong one operating system that we need.
Either it stopped loading, damaged by a virus, or when upgrading the hardware, when a reinstallation is required.
As a result, we come to the decision to do it ourselves.
The process of installing Windows from a USB flash drive is not difficult.
Anyone can cope with this task, just follow the step-by-step instructions.
When reinstalling the OS, you need to take care of the safety of important work documents, family photos or videos.
They can be copied to a removable hard drive, or USB, or transferred to the cloud.
For example, Dropbox, Cloud Mail.Ru, Yandex.Disk, Microsoft OneDrive, or other cloud storage.
When the initial installation on a new computer or laptop is carried out, backup is not required, here we immediately proceed with the installation.
Media Creation Tool
First you need to create a bootable media - a USB flash drive.
It is important to do it correctly, it is not enough to download the distribution kit and just copy it to a USB flash drive.
For these purposes, special programs are used.
Microsoft has developed a tool for creating bootable media - Media Creation Tool.
Which we download for free on the official Microsoft website, on the download page.
If 4 GB or more, then create an image of 64-bit Windows 10.
A 64-bit operating system on a computer with 2 GB of RAM will work, but it will slow down a lot.
Conversely, a 32-bit OS on a computer with more than 4 GB of RAM installed will not be able to use the entire amount of RAM.
She simply will not see more than 4 GB, but use more than 3.5 GB, this is due to the limited computing capabilities of 32-bit OS.
By the way, 64-bit ones are able to work with ramps of millions of terabytes, but humanity has not yet invented such .
We can choose the "Both" option, then we will create an image in which there will be both bit depths for installation on different computers... In this case, you will need a flash drive with a volume of at least 8 GB.
Disk cleaning of temporary files
It is important to remember that in the process of creating an image, it is loaded into the computer's memory, and only then it is written to the USB flash drive.
Therefore, the hard disk must have at least 8 GB of free space.
If there is not enough free disk space, a corresponding message will appear in the window.
Then we need to cleanse system disk from unnecessary files.
To do this, you can use the function Disk Cleanup.
And, of course, check the files stored on the desktop in the folders "Basket" "Downloads" and "Documentation".
There you can often find tons of forgotten downloads, media files, movies, music that only take up useful disk space.
You can also look into the Temp folder on the C drive: It stores a huge amount of temporary files, sometimes the amount of temporary storage can reach tens of GB.
All these temporary files can be safely deleted. The main thing is not to delete the folder itself "Pace".
2 We need to create a USB flash drive, so we leave a mark on the paragraph "USB flash drive" and click Next.
3 Select our media. If more than one flash drive is connected to the computer, mark the one that you need and click Next.
The time it takes to download the image and write it to the media depends on the speed of the Internet connection.
If the speed is slow, it may take some time.
On a high-speed connection, the entire process usually takes about 20 minutes.
When the recording is complete, click Finish. The program will delete temporary files and close itself.
Using this utility, you can also create a simple ISO image. Then on a computer on which there is no Internet, you can create a bootable USB flash drive using the UltraISO utility. Here everything is also simple, run the UltraISO utility, open our ISO image on the hard drive and create a bootable media. Then you can proceed with the installation.
Boot priority in BIOS
1 We insert our bootable USB drive into the PC. And reload it.
To do this, at the moment of switching on, when checking POST, we actively click on the key.
This is usually the Delete or F2 key. Depending on the motherboard the key may differ.
You can navigate the BIOS menu using the arrows on the keyboard.
The interface, of course, does not pretend to be an audience award, but it is not necessary.
Everything here is laconic and to the point. Switch to the Boot tab.
Firmware on computers is different and the tab may be named differently, but in any case, the name of the section will contain the word Boot.
In more modern motherboards, you can find graphical interface BIOS or UEFI.
The interface here can be switched to Russian and the navigation in it is more understandable.
3 We are looking for the Boot Device Priority section - open it and switch USB to the first place, the state should be Enabled.
4 After switching the bootable media to the first place, you need to save the changes. To do this, click the F10 key, then in the dialog box, confirm with the Y key - which means (Yes), or click OK.
In this case, you will not have to boot into BIOS and set the boot priority.
In addition, after installing Windows, you will need to return the priority for the hard drive back.
To do this, upon reboot, click on one of the entry keys to Boot Menu.
The key may differ for different PC and laptop models. Here are the most common boot keys Boot Menu, Esc, F8, F9, F12, F11.
In the window that opens, using the arrows on the keyboard, switch to our USB flash drive and confirm - Enter.
After that, the installation process of Windows 10 will begin.
1 Press any key on the keyboard when this message appears.
Press any key to boot from USB
We will see the Windows 10 logo on a black background.
2 In the first window, select the language and keyboard layout.
3 Press the button "Install".
Below there is a "System Restore" button, we do not need it now. This option can be used if the PC is installed Windows 10, and for some reason it ceased to function normally or boot. Then you can restore the damaged boot sector or files through System Restore, save important documents, and then reinstall it cleanly.
After the promotional period for a free update, all computers under Windows control 7 and 8 to Win 10, and subsequent clean reinstallation, no key required.
The digital key is bound to the equipment. It is only important to install the OS of the same bitness.
It is automatically activated the first time you connect to the network.
You will still need a license key during the initial installation.
But you can purchase a license later, after installing Windows 10. Only before activation, some of the functions will be unavailable.
6 We agree with the terms of the license agreement and proceed with the installation.
7 Select an item « Complete installation for advanced users "... In this case, the installation is done cleanly with the formatting of the hard disk or system partition.
First option "Update" is an installation of Windows with all files saved on the computer, and the old system will be placed in the Windows old folder.
For clean install it does not suit us, since the new OS and the old one will take up a lot of disk space.
Clean install Windows 10
1 First, we need to partition the disk into partitions (one or more), if necessary. If the PC or hard drive is new. Click Create.
2 We write volume local disk, which we want to set aside for the system and click confirm.
3 We agree to create additional backup partitions.
4 And we also do with all the remaining space - create a new section or sections.
5 Select the disk on which Windows will be installed and click Next.
At reinstalling Windows you may need to store information on other logical drives D, E, F, and so on.
In that case, you only need to format the disk with the system, the rest logical drives and reserved partitions can not be touched.
Otherwise, Windows cannot be installed and will have to be formatted. all tough disk.
This threatens the loss of important data. You can determine which disk needs to be formatted by its size.

But, so that we do not get bored, various messages will appear on the background that changes the brightness, notifying about the progress of setting the parameters.
After which the desktop will load, and we can install third-party software download applications from the store, install drivers and utilities.
Free Windows 10
