How to Install Windows 10 on a New PC?
There are several ways to install this operating system and you need to choose which is best for you.
For instance, you might have a CD Drive as I said before, then you need to create a USB bootable disk which is very easy with the Microsoft's Download Tool. All you need to do is, choose your USB drive and wait until the download has finished. The setup tool automatically creates a bootable device which can be used to install Windows in no time. 😀
Downloading the Windows 10 ISO File
Thanks to Microsoft's Media Creation Tool which will help you download the official Windows 10 ISO file. You don't need a key to install and use Windows 10 and you're better off if you download from Microsoft itself which is really safe.
There are some other third party websites where you can get the Windows 10 ISO file but in my opinion, it's best if you directly download through the setup tool.
It's really simple. All you need to do is download the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft and then you decide how you install Windows 10 on your computer. When I installed this on my newly setup computer, I didn't have a CD-Drive. I had to use my pen drive to create a bootable USB device.
Once you open the Media Creation Tool, you'll find all the options available. But nothing to worry, it's fully automatic and after choosing your option, you sit back while the tool downloads and creates a bootable device for you. 😉
If you're building your first computer, you probably don't have another computer to do all these. I would prefer asking a friend to help or you can go to a local store where might get the unactivated version of Windows 10. However, I strongly recommend downloading from Microsoft itself.
How to Install Windows 10 from Pendrive?
This is the most common way of installing an operating system nowadays. There are many software like Rufus which brings down the pain of creating a bootable USB drive. But very luckily, you are going to be using the Media Creation Tool which automatically downloads and turns your Pendrive into a bootable device.
Here's how you can install Windows 10 from a Pendrive or USB drive. As I said before, it's different for every motherboard manufacturer. If you're totally new to this, you might consider reading your motherboard's manual a bit.

Now you have to set your Pendrive to the first boot option. This means, your Pendrive will be booted at first which will launch the installation of Windows.
