How to Install Windows 10 from a USB Flash Drive

Hi , my name is Miguel from avoid errors dot net .

In this tutorial , I'm going to be showing you guys how to install Windows 10 from a USB drive .

Now this process will delete all the information on your hard drive .

So make sure to have a backup .

Now , before we continue , we need to make sure what type of operating system you're using .

Whether it's 64 or 32 bit , right .

Click this PC properties on their system look whether it's 64 or 32 .

In this case , it's 64 bit .

Now , head over to the Microsoft download section of Windows 10 and download accordingly .

Now this would download a tool once that tool is downloaded again , you would have to run that executable there it is run and let's start .

Now here select create installation media for another PC , even though you're using it for this one and click on next , select the language edition and our architecture and now select the 64 bit on architecture .

Click next and here select USB flash drive is already preselected .

Now , once I click on next , it should automatically detect that USB drive , but I didn't have it connected once connected , all I need to do is refresh and it'll also detect my removable drive which is drive F has no label , it's already selected .

So click on next to start creating a Windows 10 installation USB drive .

Now I'm gonna fast forward this process .

Perfect .

My USB flash drive is ready .

Now , all we need to do is change the boot sequence in the BIO to be able to boot from that USB drive .

Now , when you boot the PC , you will look for something like this F two setup or F 12 boot menu .

If you select boo uh boot menu , all you need to do is select the USB drive from the list .

Now if you select set up , which is the bio , you will look for something like this .

Now this is an old bio , yours might be a lot different .

Now look for the boot section and pretending that removal will drive is my USB drive .

We just have to follow the instructions in the bottom to make the removable drive or USB drive the first put device and again , save the settings by following the instructions .

Once you save those settings , the computer will restart and it'll boot from that USB drive from here .

Just follow the on screen instructions , select time language and keyboard next installed .

Now install uh at the key .

If you have it , I don't have it .

I'm just gonna skip this step .

Access a accept the license terms .

Now here , select custom install windows only advanced and this is how it looks if you have previously an operating system installed system reserve and drive zero partition two .

So we're gonna delete them both .

That's why you need a backup .

So make sure you're selected and click on delete , ok , to confirm and do the same with system reserve .

Now , if you are installing on a brand new drive , this is how it would look a single unallocated space .

I'll make sure it's selected and click on next by clicking on next windows will automatically format and install windows .

10 windows cannot be installed on a non formatted drive .

Now , this process can take a while .

I'm gonna fast forward the process here too .

It is going to restart several times if it asks you to boot to press any key to boot from CD DVD , do not press any key .

Now again , I'm not gonna enter the product key .

I don't have it .

So I'll do this later and select , uh , use express settings .

Um , here like I own it .

It doesn't belong to any organization .

Now , here , enter your Microsoft email and password .

If you have one , I don't like to use my emails for an operating system .

So I'd rather do a , um , local account .

So I'm gonna skip this step here .

I can enter a , uh , local account .

So I'll use my name .

I'm not gonna add a password .

If you , you're more than free to uh create one if you want next .

Now , installing windows 10 from a USB is extremely fast .

It doesn't take more than five minutes to install windows from a USB drive .

This is also good if you're installing it on a notepad .

No , that's it .
