How to install windows 10 from a licensed flash drive. Windows Setup Basics

In preparation for installing Windows 10, or during the process itself, there may be issues that prevent you from completing the upgrade process. There are times when the installation freezes, interrupts, gives an error and other similar situations, which you can get out of on your own using the instructions below.

Problems before the installation of the system

To install the system, you need installation media, which is recommended to be created using official program Microsoft. After you install it, go through the first steps with choosing the parameters and bit depth of the system, you will be prompted to choose which of the connected media to turn into installation media. The list provided by the program may not include the flash drive that you wanted to use for further Windows installation 10. This can happen for the following reasons:

the flash drive was not properly prepared. The flash drive must be empty, formatted in FAT32 or NTFS format and have at least 4 GB of total capacity. If at least one of the parameters is not met, then the Windows 10 setup program will not see the flash drive;
The USB port into which the flash drive is plugged is faulty, try moving it to another port and check the result, remembering to restart the program;
restart the computer, it is possible that some incomplete operations are being performed with the flash drive, so you cannot work with it, and after restarting the device they will all be completed;
check if the computer itself sees the flash drive, if not, then the problem and the reason lies in it;
if all else fails, then replace the USB flash drive or use any other way to turn it into installation media, for example, download a system image and burn it manually.

Endless updates

If, during the process of creating bootable media with a new operating system, updates are searched for indefinitely, you must close the update center:

Problems during installation

All of the following errors and problems occur during installation: freezing, interruption, incorrect process summary, etc.

The disk has an MBR partition table.

This error occurs when selecting a disk or its partition allocated for the installation of the operating system. It appears due to the fact that the hard drive is formatted in a format that does not correspond to the mode that is set in the BIOS. There are two ways to get rid of this error: change the operating mode in the BIOS or reformat the disk. The second option is recommended, since the default mode selected in the BIOS is the most optimal. You can reformat the disk in a standard way, but at the same time losing all data from it, or using a third-party program, while interrupting the installation process, but retaining all the information.

Error "Installing Windows on this disk impossible. The selected disk has an MBR partition table"

BIOS setting changes

By default, the EFI mode is enabled in the BIOS, which only works with disks in GPT format. Since your drive is in MBR format, you will need to change the mode to Legacy. To do this, turn off the computer, start turning it on, and as soon as the first signs of loading appear, press the F11, F12 or ESC key to activate the Boot Menu. Which of the possible buttons will be assigned in your case is described in a small footnote that appeared on the screen during the start of the download. In the drop-down list, you will need to select your flash drive, but without the prefix UEFI or EFI in the name.

We change the boot order so that the USB flash drive without UEFI and EFI is in the first place

You can also change the boot order in the BIOS itself, in the Boot or "Download" section, putting the name of the flash drive without UEFI and EFI prefixes in the first place. After that, it remains only to exit the Boot Menu or BIOS, after saving the new settings. Done, you can continue installing Windows.

We put the flash drive without the UEFI and EFI prefix in the first place

Changing the disk format to MBR using the standard method

Format changes will be made through the command line. The disadvantage of this method is that you will have to delete all the data that is on the disks, so copy it to another medium in advance to save it.

Changing the disk format to MBR using a third-party program

To convert using a third-party program, you can use the Minitool Partition Wizard Bootable application, the image of which must be downloaded from the official website of the developer and written to a USB flash drive formatted in FAT32 format. The advantage of this method is that you don't have to delete data from the disk to convert it.

After the disk is converted to GPT format, enter the Boot Menu again and boot from installation media to return to installing Windows 10.

System won't install on SSD drive

The reason to install Windows on SSD drive does not work, most likely, is that the IDE mode is set in the BIOS instead of the required ACHI. To fix this, follow these steps:

While turning on the computer, press the Delete key on the keyboard several times to enter the BIOS. Another button can be used to enter the settings menu, it depends on the model of the motherboard, but during the boot of the computer, a footnote appears on the screen that will tell you how to enter the BIOS.
We enter the BIOS
After entering the BIOS, you will see either the standard BIOS or a newer UEFI version of it. There are also options for the presence of the Russian language and its absence. Sections in different versions BIOS can be called differently, so your main task is to find the mode switch from IDE to ACHI. In one version of UEFI, this is done like this: first go to the Setting section.
Go to the Settings section
Switch to additional settings.
Open advanced settings
Open the Built-in peripherals».
We enter the section "Embedded Peripherals"
In the "SATA Configuration" block, find the desired line and change the mode to ACHI. Done, it remains to exit the BIOS, saving all the changes made, and you can return to installing a new OS.
Change SATA mode to ACHI

If changing the mode did not help, then the reason can be searched for in the following parameters:

there are several disks connected to the computer, this may cause the installation to fail, so leave only one of them and try the installation again;
the flash drive from which the installation is being performed was formatted in NTFS format, not in FAT32 suitable for SSD drives. In this case, you need to reformat the media again and write the system image to it again;
if none of the above helped, then try installing from a disk, sometimes this helps solve the problem.

Blue screen appears during installation

A blue screen with text and a description of the error occurs if the installer has encountered an insurmountable error and cannot continue the process. In this case, it will automatically erase everything already installed files update and roll back the system to the point where the installation procedure has not yet been started.

Installation aborted due to blue screen

After the rollback is over, you can restart the installation. Perhaps this time it will be stable. If not, blue screen appeared again, you need to return to the system that already exists on the disk and delete everything in it unnecessary applications and turn off all unnecessary devices connected to the computer. Most likely, the system cannot install updates correctly precisely because of third party programs and devices.

If this does not help, then copy the entire important information from disc to third-party media, and go to manual installation, during which you can delete all information from the disk. So do it, erase all data from the disk partitions and install Windows 10 on a clean partition.

Black screen appears during installation

If during the installation of the system a black screen appears, on which nothing is displayed or only the mouse cursor is displayed, then there may be several reasons for this behavior of the computer:

But before you solve the problem, just wait, perhaps the system is still performing the update process in the background. Thinking that it's time to solve the problem manually is worth it only if the black screen does not move for more than half an hour.

Driver update

To enter safe mode, we will use the command line. To call it, return to the Windows 10 setup program again, to do this, turn off the computer by holding power button for 10-15 seconds and turn it on. After the program is open, use the key combination Shift + F10 to run command line.
Activate the command line with the combination Shift + F10
Run the command bcdedit / set (default) safeboot network, then the command shutdown / r and, when asked, confirm the action by pressing the Enter key again. The computer will automatically restart and turn on safe mode.
We execute the commands bcdedit / set (default) safeboot network and shutdown / r
When the power-up is completed, open the device manager, find the video card in the general list and, by right-clicking on it, select "Update drivers". Go through the process automatic update or, if the computer cannot find the drivers itself, download them from the official website of the company that created the video card and install them manually. Update video card drivers manually or automatically
After the driver update is finished, launch a command prompt with administrator rights, run the bcdedit (default) /deletevalue safeboot command to deactivate automatic start in safe mode, turn off your computer and go back to the Windows 10 upgrade process.
We execute the command bcdedit (default) / deletevalue safeboot

What to do if the installation process freezes

The installation process may hang at the following stages:

when the Windows logo appears;
at the stage of preparing files;
right during the installation, when the screen shows that the process is completed by 0, 10, 99, 32% or some other percentage.

Keep in mind that the installation process can stay at one percent for up to several hours if the computer is not particularly powerful or overloaded with files. Therefore, first wait at least two hours, and only if nothing happens after that, you can proceed to manually fix the problem.

It is impossible to say unequivocally why the hang happened in your case, so check all the options that can cause the hang, one by one:

Disconnect all unnecessary devices from the computer, leave only the keyboard, mouse and monitor connected. Also take out the extra SATA cables going to the CD port and USB stick.
Check that the BIOS settings are correct and that the installation media format is correct. Remember that for SSD and HDD drive, BIOS and UEFI, GTP and MBR format options will be different. Somewhere you need to enable ACHI mode, and somewhere IDE, somewhere you need to format it in FAT32, and somewhere in NTFS, and so on. Depending on the type and format of the hard disk, as well as BIOS version, find the specifications suitable for your build on the Internet and install them.
Before you upgrade to Windows 10, be sure to install all available updates on an already installed operating system. This can be done through the built-in Update Center program, which is present in both Windows 7 and Windows1, and older versions.
If the installation hangs when using a USB flash drive as installation media, then try installing from a CD.
Remember to make sure your computer is compatible minimum requirements Windows 10, they are presented on the official Microsoft website.
If it is not possible to install the system over the old, already installed, Windows, then at the step of managing hard disk partitions, format all blocks and install Windows 10 on a completely blank disk.
If you are installing the system on a non-blank hard drive, then remove the antivirus, it may interfere with the update. Also delete all programs that make changes to the interface and other system settings of the system.

"Could not create new partition" error

When manually installing Windows, sometimes an error occurs stating that it is impossible to create or find an existing partition. It appears because there is no unallocated memory and partitions on the disk that could be given for installing the operating system. The way out of this situation is to create the necessary partitions manually. This can be done in two ways: by deleting existing partitions and creating new ones, or by shrinking existing partitions and allocating freed memory.

Error "We could not create a new or find an existing partition"

Standard method

You can delete sections and create new ones right in the same window in which you received the error.

Through the command line

Using the command line, you can not delete partitions, but compress them without losing the files that are on it.

Installation causes repeated reboot of the computer

The computer restarts during installation - this is normal, it may restart five or six times in order to correctly configure all the necessary elements. But if this operation is repeated too many times, then you need to interrupt the process manually, return to the already installed system and do the following:

Installer window does not appear

If you are faced with the fact that you do not have a window installation program, then follow the instructions from the paragraph "What to do if the installation process freezes" described above in the article.

The installation window did not appear after booting from a USB flash drive

Device drivers not found

An error stating that device drivers were not found appears when trying to install Windows 10 for the following reasons:

USB0 flash drive connected to port 3.0 or vice versa usb flash drive 3.0 is connected to port 2.0. Switch it to the correct port and repeat the installation.
The system image was written incorrectly or was damaged initially. Rewrite it. It's better to use non-standard Microsoft program, and burn the image using UltraISO.
Use a disk for installation, not a flash drive.

Bottom line: use a different media, port, or image to get rid of this error.

Errors with code when installing Windows 10

If errors occur during the installation of Windows, in the description of which there is a unique code, then the best way out in this situation is to search for a solution using this particular code. Based on a unique number, which usually looks something like 0xc1900101, you can find a solution just for your case. If it is not available on the Internet, then contact the official Microsoft support service and tell them this code, they will provide you with instructions on how to proceed.

During the installation of Windows 10, an error may appear with the code

Video: problems during the installation of Windows 10 and their solution

So, if errors occur during the installation of Windows 10 or the process does not reach the end, freezes or is interrupted, then first of all you need to check the correctness BIOS settings, installation media, and hard drive. The next step is to check the computer components and their drivers. The best way out is to clean the disk by formatting and install the system on a blank partition using the official Microsoft program.

Most recently, the operating system was reinstalled using DVDs. Now it is easier and more convenient to do this from a flash drive. However, first you need to create boot disk on it, and also perform a series of sequential actions. Let's dwell on this in more detail.

To begin with, we create, that is, we transfer the files of the operating system (the so-called distribution kit) to the USB flash drive. official version systems can be downloaded here: https://www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/software-download/windows10. On the same site, an official license is purchased.

If you already have a licensed version of the product installed, you must first upgrade to version 10 and then reinstall. In this case, the license will be saved under your account.

Basic steps for creating a boot drive

Step 1. Format the flash drive.

Step 2 We select the bitness of our operating system when downloading the application (look in the "My Computer" section: 32 or 64 bits).

Step 3

Step 4 After downloading, click on "Create an installation drive for another computer" while maintaining your license.

Step 5 Install the flash drive, click on " USB device flash memory", at this moment the download of files to the media begins.

Step 6 Select your flash drive in the window that appears (in the standard version, its name should be displayed).

Step 6 The boot drive is ready to use, now you can upgrade your system at any time.

Attention! It is important to note that before the procedure, all data on the computer should be saved either on a second logical drive or on removable media. Otherwise, everything will be deleted.

Setting up your computer to boot from a flash drive

To install Windows from a USB flash drive, it is necessary that the computer selects it as the boot when booting. To do this, change the settings in the BIOS, but different computers they may differ. It depends on the manufacturer and the brand. The menu may differ, but the principle of operation in it is exactly the same.

Step 1. When you boot your computer, you must press a certain button to exit the BIOS. Each version of the program has its own button: "Delete", "Esc", "F2" or another: we look carefully at the boot information.

Step 2 When you exit the BIOS, you will see a characteristic menu on English language, now already developed in some models and Russian versions. If it didn’t work the first time, for example, you didn’t press the button fast enough, then you should reboot again.

Step 3 In the menu, you need to select an option that allows you to change the start of the device.

Step 4 Then we change the download location to a USB flash drive. Usually it looks like this: "First Boot - USB-HDD".

Change the boot value to a USB flash drive - USB-HDD

Step 5 We save all changes. Usually, information about saving options is listed at the bottom of the screen.

Step 6 The computer will restart and a message will appear on the screen. We press any button and wait for the system to start from the USB flash drive.

Instructions for installing Windows 10 from a USB flash drive

Like any other program, Windows is quite easy to install. It is enough to follow the instructions displayed on the computer screen. Let's consider it in more detail.

Step 1. In the window that appears, select the Russian language in all tabs.

Step 2

if available, enter in the field that appears;
if the update was trial or free, then you can skip this step, in this case the system will not be activated and will constantly ask you to enter the key;
if you plan to upgrade the operating system from an outdated one, then you should upgrade first without reinstalling, and then overwrite the OS from the USB flash drive.

Step 4 We get acquainted with the license and click "Next".

Step 5 Choose one of the installation options:

Updating is a standard procedure that is performed when moving from one version to another while saving data.
Custom installation - completely overwrites all system files with the removal of user information.

Step 6 If you chose the Custom installation option, then the next step is to determine the number of disks on the device. Here you can also change the structure of disks (leave one C: drive, or create several disks).

Step 7 Select the partition on which you plan to write new operating system files, click the "Format" button. After completing the procedure, click "Next".

Step 8 The installer starts copying files, the process can be tracked on the computer screen, it will be displayed as a percentage. Then the system is rebooted.

Step 9 After the reboot, the installer will begin its work. The screen will flicker periodically, after the process the computer will restart again.

Step 10 During unpacking, the computer may ask you to connect to the Internet and enter a key.

Here you can select items:

"Use standard parameters" - the program will install everything that is included in the code;
"Settings" - in this section you can choose what to install and what not.

Step 12

Step 13 Then the stage of preparing the system for work begins: installation classic applications and start.

Step 14 At the last step, the operating system will load, and the desktop will also appear.

In general, the process of installing Windows 10 is simple and straightforward, if all the steps are followed slowly and consciously. In some cases, problems may arise, but this process can always be started over.

Advice! When the OS installation is complete, be sure to update the drivers for all devices on your computer, otherwise they may not work correctly.

Video - How to boot Windows 10 from a USB flash drive

This article will give tips on how to install Windows 10 using a flash drive without losing data. There are no fundamental differences between installing this operating system from a DVD or CD.

An important point is the volume of the storage device, whether it be a flash drive or a disk. Its volume should be at least 3 GB.

The first step is to create a special bootable media, which will be used to install the operating system. It is best to use for this purpose special utility on the official Microsoft website. Assuming you already have license key for Windows 10.

About whether it is possible to install this version of the operating system without a key, and whether it is possible to install windows 10 over widows 7, I will tell you a little later.

What do you need to install Windows 10?

Create a bootable flash drive.
Send to BIOS boot.
Install OS.

How to create media

Download the utility for creating media for the Windows 10 operating system on the official Microsoft website should be exactly the bit depth that your system has on this moment. You can find this in the "System" tab in the Control Panel or by right-clicking on "My Computer" and selecting the "Properties" section.

In this utility, you can download the original images of the latest version of the operating system. AT installation window you will be prompted to select the language and OS version to be installed. After that, wait until all the files are downloaded to the flash drive or disk, depending on what you have chosen.

For other cases, when you already have your own OS image, it is simply copied to a USB flash drive. It must be formatted in FAT 32 format. This can be done using a variety of free programs, as well as using the command line or the Ultra Iso program.

Important: To prevent the loss of your data stored on your computer, all files are copied to some external hard drive, it can also be drive D.

How to install Windows 10 through Bios

When the OS image is copied to external media (disk or flash drive), we go into BIOS (or UEFI) and set up one or another media in the boot priority.

To enter BIOS, you need to restart your computer. When the computer starts booting, you can enter by pressing the Del or F2 keys.

The first option, as a rule, is typical for stationary computers, and the second for laptops. Please note the marks different models computers have different ways bios entry.

After logging in, go to the Boot Menu section and select the method for booting the computer. In the window that appears, the choice of the installation language will appear, and then the direct button to install. A window for entering the operating system activation key will appear.

As a rule, this step can be skipped at this stage, of course, if you did not have a separate license purchase. Next, you will be prompted to select the version of Windows to be installed and accept the license agreement.

The next and, perhaps, the most important and responsible step will be the choice of the type of installation of the operating system. You will be given two options to choose from:

simple system update;
complete reinstallation Windows.

Here we are interested in the second option and you need to click on the "Custom installation" item.

By selecting this item and the corresponding section, the installation process will begin, which can take quite a long time, depending on the power of your computer. The so-called downtime of the computer for some time after the installation is completed and rebooted will be especially protracted. All this time, the preparation of components will take place. It is important here not to rush to force restart the computer, unless, of course, the wait has exceeded two hours.

After loading the components, a settings window will appear Windows settings 10, where it will be necessary to configure basic settings such as language, region, keyboard layout, creation account etc.

Immediately after the appearance of the dozens desktop, you will need to download the drivers for installation. Although the operating system should automatically load them, it's still worth checking the driver package to make sure you have them.

Problems installing Windows 10 and their solution

At the stage of selecting disk partitions for installing the operating system, an error of the following nature may occur:

Windows cannot be installed to this drive. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI Windows systems, you can only install GPT disk

The reason for this kind of conflict lies in the fact that you booted from the media in the opposite mode to what is currently on the disk on which you want to install the new operating system. This problem can be solved in two ways:

Conversion hard drive. You need to convert it from mbr to gpt.
Go into BIOS, or rather in the boot menu and change the boot type from EFI to legacy.

Error 0x8007025d

Its occurrence can be due to several reasons.

Such a trouble at the very beginning indicates a failure boot sector, because of this, copying of files stops. Need to check hard working disk, random access memory and other system components. You need to dig there, after fixing the installation error will disappear. In some cases, formatting the hard drive before installing the OS will help.
Error code 0x8007025d at the very end may pop up because there is not enough space on the hard drive.
At Windows installations from a flash drive or an external drive, the cause of the error may lie in them themselves. Check if all installation files have been completely copied to external media, try overwriting them again.

Test the memory cells with special programs. Sometimes you will need to overwrite the installation files on the CD.
Do not forget to set the boot priority in Bios, in accordance with the type of media that is used to install Windows.

Installation hangs

If the power of your computer leaves much to be desired, then some problems may occur at certain stages of the installation.

For example, a long preparation for installation or its freezing. Here you just need to wait a while until it is unloaded, and take any action only after a long time - an hour or more.

Installation won't start

There may also be such a problem as the lack of starting the installation of Windows 10. You need to make sure that you have chosen the boot order in the boot menu correctly.
If everything is correct and the first point in booting is to start the system from your media containing the OS installation, then the reason may be different.

When you restart your computer, a window may pop up for a short time, where you need to press any key to start the installation. You might just not notice it.

You can also advise after restarting the computer to press the keys from f5 to f12.

Can I install Windows 10 on an Android tablet?

The decision to demolish the android system on the tablet and put the Ten can be justified by such reasons as:

support for certain games only on Windows;
experimental comparison of two operating systems Android and Windows on a tablet.

There are several ways to accomplish this task.

One of them will be a complete reinstallation of the system, after which Windows is installed from scratch. It is more complex.
The easiest way is to use various emulators of this operating system, from which you can choose Qemu.

Installation on a tablet is done using the Bochs application. It needs to be downloaded and installed on your tablet. Then download directly the Windows image in img format.

You also need to download the firmware for our emulator, it's called Sdl. After downloading, it is unpacked to any folder on your memory card.

The OS image is unpacked into this folder, after which the Bochs application is launched and you can proceed to Windows installation.

In order for it to be successful Windows download 10 from a flash drive, some parameters are changed in the boot menu in the BIOS settings. In the boot menu in the Launch tab, the parameter switches to the enabled position.

In the security tab, the security boot control parameter, on the contrary, must be turned off, and then go to the save / exit tab and save the changes.

Installing Windows 10 on a flash drive is almost the same as installing Windows 8 or 7, only the design has changed. But there are nuances.

Why am I talking about Windows 10 on a flash drive?

And that's why, despite the fact that the operating system Microsoft Windows 10 is free, for Windows 7 and 8 users, it's only until July 29, 2016.

Then you have to pay everyone who wants to switch to it from older cars or buys new computer. And those who have already upgraded to Windows 10 should write down their license number.

Why?

And then you have to pay for a license. After July 29, the company's management will charge users $119 for the Home version of the operating system.

And so that this does not happen, I will touch on the moment of how to write the image to a flash drive, because now even the developer of the operating system has begun to encourage this type of installation.

And I think you have already written down the license number, let me remind you that while installing and obtaining a license can be done for free!

I recommend keeping such a flash drive with a recorded operating system always at hand, well, just in case a fireman! And the license number!

If, for some reason, your computer does not work, then you could always fix this situation without any difficulty.

And so, writing Windows 10 to a flash drive.

You can burn the operating system using a huge variety of programs, in particular, writing to a disk can be done by standard Windows recording, provided that you have a version not lower than Windows 7 installed on a flash drive, recording is done using free program Rufus.

To begin with, you should prepare the flash drive itself for writing the operating system to it.

To do this, go to the "Computer" menu, where all drives connected to the device will be displayed. Find your flash drive there and right-click on it, where select in context menu, the "Format" item.

This is necessary in order to destroy all available data, without leaving a trace from this drive.

You must specify:

File system type: NTFS;
Make the "Volume label" field empty;
Uncheck the box next to "Quick (cleaning the table of contents)".

After all the set parameters, click the "Start" button, after which you will be asked if you are sure that you want to format this disk, click "OK".

Now, depending on how much your flash drive has, it will be necessary to wait as long.

Upon completion of formatting, you will receive a notification that it is completed, click "OK", in the settings window, click the "Close" button.

Now on a completely clean flash drive, you need to write the Rufus program, the operating system itself. To do this, download it from the official site by typing in search engine the word "rufus", and then, run.

After starting in the window, your flash drive should be automatically detected, if this did not happen, then simply select your own from the drop-down list.

Field "Device" - your flash drive;
"Partition scheme and type ..." - MBR for computers with BIOS or UEFI;
« File system» – NTFS;
"Cluster size" - Determined automatically when you run the program;

If in the column opposite the icon with the drive, "ISO image" is not selected, then do it;

Click on the icon itself, after which you will see a window where you will need to select the image of the operating system.

Where to get "ISO Image"?

If you need to install or reinstall Windows 10 using a USB device, you can use the media creation tool. It allows you to create your own installation media using a USB flash drive. The tool optimizes file formats according to download speed and can be used to create ISO files.

GO: (https://www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/software-download/windows10)

And there we press: Download tool now .

We will get the program with which and you can download "ISO Image" to your computer.

Now you can "ISO Image" put on a flash drive.

For Windows entries 10, you will need a flash drive with a size of 4 GB or more!

After all the settings, click the "Start" button, you will be asked if you want to erase all data from the flash drive, you need to answer in the affirmative, after which the process of writing the operating system files to the flash drive will begin.

Operating room installation Windows systems 10 per computer.

To install the operating system on your computer, you need to insert the drive with the recorded system into the computer, and then restart it.

After that, during the boot of the computer, the logo of the motherboard will appear, where the key for opening the BIOS menu will be indicated. Most often, this key is "Delete", there may also be options F2 or F12.

You need to press this key all the time when the logo appears and then you will be transferred to another menu called BIOS or UEFI, depending on the motherboard.

Now that you are in this menu, go to the Boot tab by pressing the arrow keys. Since everyone is different from each other motherboards, the names of the items in the Boot menu may differ.

What is the point?

When the computer boots up, depending on the settings, the first specific device usually the default is HDD.

We need to install first so that the drive with the recorded operating system is loaded. To do this, in the Boot menu, you need to find something like “Boot device priority” in the case of a disk and select it.

Then, you will see that another menu has appeared, where the devices are located under the numbers, we need number 1.

Place the cursor on the device at number one and press "Enter", you will see a window with the choice of device to install on given number. In our case, a flash drive, then look for the name of the flash drive in this list and select it by pressing the "Enter" key.

After selecting, you will see that the devices have changed their numbers and at number 1, it has become exactly what we need.

It may be that there will not be a flash drive in this list, until you go in and configure another item in the “Boot” menu, you need to look for something like “Hard Disks…” and select.

You will see the same list as in "Boot Devices ...", which displays the boot order, connected hard drives to the computer.

If you do not have a flash drive in the "Boot Device Priority" menu, then exit it with the "ESC" key, go to the "Boot" menu and select the "Hard Drivers ..." item, where also at number 1 install your flash drive, and then the steps described above in the "Boot Device Priority" menu.

Now, press the F10 key and select "OK", this will save changes made and the computer will automatically restart.

At some point, instead of loading the operating system, you will see the inscription "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD" or "Press any key to boot from USB", which will be written, only certain time, in which you need to have time to press any key on the keyboard.

After that, the installation of Windows 10 will begin, the beginning of which will be similar to loading the Windows 8 operating system, but this is just a logo.

After downloading, you will see a window for choosing the language for installing the system, depending on the region that was on the image being written to the media, set parameters default may be different from what you need.

Select all the language options of your choice and click the "Next" button, and then in the next window "Install".
You will be asked to enter a license key, the entry of which can be delayed by clicking "Skip".

Then you will have two items "Updating ..." available for selection. and "Custom installation", select option 2.
Now, you need to configure the hard drives to install.

If you do not need the available information on the hard drive, for starters, I recommend that you select all partitions one by one and select the “Format” item at the bottom of each.

After that, also selecting all the items in turn, click on the "Delete" button on each. After that, depending on the number of hard drives installed on your PC, you will have the same number, with the inscription "Unallocated area", selecting which, then click on the "Create" item and specify the size of the future hard disk partition.

When creating the first partition, you will be asked if the operating system can create a small partition that will serve as support for all system operation, which you need to agree to.

Usually, if users divide the hard disk into partitions, then one is made for the operating system, and the other for data storage, so that you can reinstall the system as many times as you like without losing any data.

Therefore, if you also want to divide your hard drive into partitions, then I recommend that you set the value for one, which will be for the operating system, equal to 60 thousand, and for the other, simply by clicking the "Create" button, agree with the automatic selection.

If you do not want to divide into sections, but set everything to one, then simply select "Create" and agree with everything.

After all the settings of the hard drives, select the one on which you want to install Windows 10 and click the "Next" button.
Now wait until the installation is completed and the computer will reboot by itself.

It seems to be everything.

Good luck Friends!

You will need a bootable USB flash drive to start the installation process. However, if your computer is fairly modern, chances are it uses the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) instead of a traditional BIOS. In this case, you need to make sure that the boot media also supports the appropriate firmware interface, in otherwise you will not be able to start the installation process.

Fortunately for UEFI computers There are several ways to create bootable media. For example, you can use Microsoft's Media Creation Tool, which makes it easy to copy installation files. Windows files 10 to a removable drive and supports both classic BIOS and UEFI. Alternatively, you can use the third party tool Rufus which can create bootable flash drives specifically for devices with UEFI.
