Microsoft company with the aim of introducing into the masses Windows 10 I also took care of the tools accompanying the installation of the new operating system. To update system versions 7 and 8.1 to version 10, to download the distribution kit and create installation media with Windows 10, the software giant created a utility Media Creation Tool... What's more, it's legal to install Windows 10 Home and Pro can be upfront, without entering the purchased product key during the installation process. Consider the process of installing Windows 10 below (an overview of this operating system).
An evaluation version of Windows 10 Enterprise comes activated. And even in the case of a trial version of the system, we will see a concession from Microsoft. While the same evaluation version of Windows 8.1 Enterprise after 3 months of testing cannot be activated and must be removed, the evaluation version of Windows 10 Enterprise after 3 months will require entering a product key with the prospect of full operation in the future. The sanction for failure to comply with this requirement will be a black desktop background, an inscription in the lower right corner of the screen that the system is not genuine, and an automatic shutdown of the computer every hour.
Like the trial Windows 8.1, the new 10 does not come with all languages of the system interface, in particular, the Russian language is missing. Russification of the Windows 10 Enterprise trial interface can be done manually, this process is the same as in the Windows 8.1 system. Instructions for Russification of English-language editions of Windows 8.1 can be found in.

Instead of Windows 8.1, Microsoft has prepared a new version of the operating system for its users. The peculiarities of this system are that it is designed not only for desktops, but also for smartphones, XBox One consoles, tablets and other devices.
The company offers its users not to download Windows 10 for free, but to simply update their old versions. And every third, using Windows 7 before, risked taking such a step. And he made the right decision.
In fact, Windows 10 is a mix of the best practices that the company has combined in one operating system. So we can safely talk about the quality of the operating system, which is characterized by high performance. She borrowed this parameter from Windows 7, the interface was taken from the eighth version of the OS (however, there was still a place for some updates, which first of all touched the main Start button and toolbar). You can download Windows 10 to your computer for x86-bit and x64-bit systems.

Windows 10 and Android
Many users nevertheless decided to download Windows 10 in Russian for smartphones. However, here you need to know that there are dozens of emulators. Of course, all of them will not represent a full-fledged version, but if all you need is copying the interface of dozens, then they will quite cope with their role.
In order to install the full version of Windows, you will need to completely reflash the device. And inexperienced users may have problems with this, since not all processor chips support the Microsoft product. Only ARM and i386 processors will have no problems.
Another point to consider is that this operating system will take up much more space on your smartphone than the Android OS. Therefore, it is worthwhile to think carefully about the advisability of such changes.
However, there is an option when you can install Windows without flashing, but by overlaying one system on another. So, you will need to download the sdl.zip archive and the special sdlapp program, which is presented in the .apk format.
After that, the application is installed on the smartphone, and the data is extracted into the SDL folder. The system image file is also copied here in the future.
Now all that remains is to launch the Installation Wizard and wait for the process to be completed.
Do you want to install Windows 10 so that your laptop or COMP is as fast as "from the store"?
If you want to learn how to do a clean install of Windows 10, then read on and you will learn how to do it right.
Any computer or laptop, over time, starts to slow down and glitch.
It's unavoidable!
Therefore, it is customary to reinstall Windows from time to time.
A clean installation of Windows is such an installation when a computer or laptop is freed from all that garbage and errors, brakes and glitches that have accumulated over the entire period of its operation.
After a video in which we updated Windows 7 and Windows 8 to Windows 10, many who failed this update for one reason or another asked:
How else can you go to the top ten?
What we are going to do now, namely a clean install of Windows 10, is the only possible way to upgrade to Windows 10. If it did not work to upgrade the previous version to Windows 10.
So, we have considered all the preparatory points.
Now let's move on to the actual clean install of Windows 10.
So I will open Explorer open Computer.
As you can see, I have two sections here. My hard drive is divided into 2 parts.
I have saved all my data to a section called: My Files.
A clean installation of Windows involves formatting (deleting) a partition called Local Disk (C :).
We will remove it completely during the installation process and install a fresh Windows 10 system here.
To avoid accidentally deleting the My Files section instead of the Local Disk (C :) during the installation process, I recommend doing the following:
You need to remember the labels of the disks. The letters (C :), (D :), (E :), (F :), etc.) will not help us in this case.
The fact is that when installing Windows, these letters are not visible. They are only visible in the operating system.
Partition sizes will help us. For example, the My Files section has a size of 5.99 Gigabytes, that is, about 6 GB.
And the size of the Local Disk (C :) partition is about 25 Gigabytes.
You need to remember how the partition is called, that is, the disk label. On the section we need, this is the label: My Files.
But on the Local Disk (C :) section, there will be no labels at all.
And also remember the size of these sections. I recommend that you write this information down on a piece of paper.
If you don't have a label on the second section, then you can add it very simply.
Hover the mouse over the section itself, press the right key and select the item: Rename.
The name is highlighted, I will rename it like this: This is My Files. I added one word at the beginning.
Now I just press the key: Enter. That's it, the section has been renamed.
I am now fully prepared to do a clean install of Windows.
I start installing Windows, for this I just do Shutdown.
Now that the computer (laptop) is turned off, I just plug it into the USB port of the laptop.
I press the F2 key. I just press and hold it. At the same time I turn on the laptop with the power button.
Ready! We entered the BIOS. I am dedicated to how to enter BIOS. Several examples are discussed in detail there. In addition, you will find out which key you need to press to enter the BIOS.
Let's see how to boot from a USB flash drive on this laptop.
I just navigate with the cursor keys to the: Boot tab.
Here I need a section: Boot Option Priorities. In this BIOS, in order to change the boot priority, you just need to press the Enter key, on the item called: Boot Option # 1.
I press Enter. And here I need to find an item with the designation USB. This item is: UEFI: USB FLASH DRIVE PMAP.
This point is what I need, I just press the Enter key. Now I have it in the line: Boot Option # 1.
To complete the setup for booting from a USB flash drive, I need to save the settings. I press the key: F10, and press the key: Enter.
Now the computer boots from the USB stick.
By the way, you can get genuine keys from Microsoft for Windows and Office.
I like to deal with activation after installation, so I click on the button: I do not have a product key.
That is, if you want to continue the installation without entering the key in this window, just click on the link - the button, as I showed it in the picture.
I press.
We are presented with a list of operating systems that we can install.
This is where we can install Windows 10 Home. Home for one language. Windows 10 Education, which sounds like Education in English. And Windows 10 Pro Pro.
The x86 icon speaks of bitness here. x86 is the 32-bit system.
And here we see the release date of the version of the operating system.
I will choose the Windows 10 Pro option. To do this, I go down to the very bottom using the keyboard and click on the button: Next.
In the next window, we definitely need to accept the license terms. Just put a tick in front of the words "I accept the terms of the license" and click on the button: Next.
In the next window, be careful!
The first big button is to update the operating system. But we're doing a clean install of Windows today. We delete all old data from the computer, all old system data except our files.
Therefore, we select the 2nd item, the second large button: Custom: Windows installation only (for advanced users)
I take out my cheat sheet. At the beginning of the video, I told you that we will not see the drive letter here. We will only see the size of the partitions. It is indicated here in the 3rd column.
As well as disc labels. The first section has no label. And the second section has a label: This is My Files.
As you remember, I changed the label just before the installation.
And we keep this section, we cannot delete this section. This is where my saved files are stored.
But we will delete the first section. I just select it and click on the button: Delete.
We are warned that this may contain important data. I am sure of my actions I press the button: OK.
We wait a bit while the installer program deletes the partition.
Done, Windows Installer has removed the partition. And we now have instead of a partition: Unallocated space on disk 0.
This is where we will be doing a clean install of Windows 10.
Just in case, just click again to select this unallocated space, and click on the button: Next.
And now the actual installation of Windows has already begun.
So, the main part of the installation is complete.
Now you need to go to the settings. Windows suggests starting with the region. I leave Russia, you can choose any other country if you live in another country.
I press the button again: Yes.
We are offered to add a second layout, but we will not deal with this now. We are installing Windows. And we can add a second layout at any time.
I click: Skip.
Windows promises us to install important elements.
In the next window, we are offered a choice of a configuration method. Most of the users watching this video are likely to customize Windows for themselves.
Therefore, I choose the first option, and click on the button: Next.
My computer is connected to the internet using a cable. Therefore, I am immediately prompted to sign in with a Microsoft account.
If your computer is not connected to the Internet, or is connected to the Internet using Wi-Fi, then at this stage you will be prompted to connect to the Internet. For example, enter the password for your Wi-Fi network.
You will need to either click on the button: Connect, and enter the password for your Wi-Fi.
Or press the button: Skip.
So, let's continue on a computer that is connected to the Internet.
If you have a Microsoft account and you immediately want to log in with it to this computer, then enter your e-mail here, which is a Login. Click the button: Next. Then enter the password.
And you'll be signed in immediately with your Microsoft account.
If there is no Microsoft account, we are offered to create one right there.
But this is not very convenient, I think. If you do not have a Microsoft account and want to create one, then I have a separate video dedicated to this. Here it is, look.
If you do not have a Microsoft account, or if you do not want to log in with it now, then simply click on the button: Offline account.
Windows insists that we are signed in with a Microsoft account. He likes it that way.
But we have already decided with you, enter with a local account. Therefore, we press the button: No.
Now we are asked to enter the Username of the computer. I enter my name.
If you want to enter the computer with a password, you can immediately come up with it and enter it in the appropriate field.
Just be sure to write down the Password so as not to lose access to your computer.
If you do not want to use a password for now, but want to start configuring without a password for now, then leave the field empty and click on the button: Next.
In the next window, we are prompted to select the privacy settings for this device.
There has already been a lot of buzz on the internet that the new April 2018 version of Windows contains many more of these options.
That is, she tries to follow us even more.
Therefore, it is now quite fashionable to disable all these engines. Let me do that. I turn off all the engines, that is, we just move all the engines to the left position.
In principle, all this can be done already on the installed Windows.
But since we can do all this during the installation process, then let's turn off all these options.
Done, now click on the button: Accept.
Windows tells us that preparation is in progress and promises that it may take a few minutes.
We just have to wait ...
Almost ready!
We have successfully installed Windows with you. Let's check what version it is. Open Explorer, on This computer, press the right mouse button. Selecting Properties.
As you can see, this is Windows 10 Pro 32-bit. That is, everything is exactly as we established with you.
Windows is not activated. As I said: I have a separate lesson devoted to activation.
Now let's check if my files that I saved are in order.
I open This computer and we see that here we have a local drive C, on which we have just installed Windows 10, the latest version. And also in place I have my section called This is My Files.
If you open it, we will see that everything is in order here, the files are in place.
The entire installation process is described in detail in the video.
Click on the video and watch.
Well, you've seen that a clean install of Windows is pretty simple and fast.
If you do it right.
Now you can do it yourself, without the invitation of would-be computer masters, from the newspaper ads.
And do it when you need it. Since this procedure will no longer cost you a penny of money.

How to install Windows 10 on a laptop, netbook, stationary personal computer correctly and at the same time for free?
It is not uncommon for users to have such a question. And there are many reasons for this. The desire to replace the old operating system with the most modern one, the desire to try new features, to make a choice before switching to a new OS, to buy a new one or to purchase a device without an operating system installed.
I must say that with the release of the latest version from Microsoft, the installation of the operating system has become much easier and does not require much knowledge. However, despite the convenience, ease of updating from old versions to a new one, a clean installation due to the absence of conflicts with old software is a more correct solution, although it requires some preparation.
The very first thing you need to do is find a system that will be installed. There are not so many options.
- Buy a boxed version of the operating system and, as a result, get a bootable flash drive for a clean installation, update and system recovery.
- Download Windows 10 from the official website in ISO image format.
- Burn the image directly to USB.
In the first option, in addition to the software, a carrier is provided as a gift, only an OS on a Physical USB is on sale.
The second option is faster and does not require waiting for the delivery of the box with the program. To do this, from the Microsoft website, it is possible to download the purchased OS or a trial version for 90 days.
By the way, the tenth version of Windows for trial is provided only in the version. How to install trial windows on a new clean hard drive
and how to install such a version, see the official website.
Going to the official Windows 10 page, we see a proposal to update the system or download a media creation tool.
Download the proposed Installation Media Creation Tool, run it with administrator rights and again see the offer to update or create a drive. After selecting creation, a page for selecting the parameters of the downloaded system (language, version, bit depth) will appear.
Next, select USB or ISO (to install Windows 10 from disk), depending on what the installation will be from. After that, the installed image will start loading.
Installing Windows 10 on a laptop and on a PC is not very different. To install on a new HDD, you will need to boot your computer from bootable media. This is done either from the Boot Menu, or the media is assigned as the default drive in the device BIOS. Boot Menu is called differently on different PCs.
For example, on an HP laptop, the F9 button is used for this, on an Asus - F8, and so on. BIOS settings also appear after pressing a button, usually DEL. There we need a BOOT section where we set the installed bootable media as the first device to boot.
After choosing a device, the installation of Windows 10 will start from scratch and a proposal will appear in choosing a localization, it depends on this choice in which language the installation will be carried out, and what the installed system will have. Click install and agree to the license. Choosing a setup for advanced users. Then you will need to select the section where the system will be installed. If the disk is new, then the partition will be one and without formatting. Previously used disks usually have several partitions of different sizes. In this case, you need to delete all partitions, then re-create a new partition for installation.
In both cases, after selecting a partition, the installer will warn you that you need to create several more partitions for the system. The first of which contains the recovery environment, the second is the EFI system partition, and the third is the MSR that the system reserves for service operations. Only the next one will the installation be made.
Partition size must not be less than 16 gigabytes for 32-bit edition and 20 gigabytes for 64-bit. We agree and wait for completion, until which the installer will reboot the system several times.
Another frequently asked question: how to properly install Windows 10 over the updated Windows 10. This option is convenient after updating the OS from the old version to a dozen. Due to the fact that the newly installed Windows does not have "garbage" from previously installed systems. Thanks to the developers, the free installation of windows 10 from older versions of the product does not require special skills and work with external devices, which is convenient, for example, when installing Windows 10 on a tablet.
To do this, you need to find the "Recovery" item in the "Update and Security" section. There we need the item "Return the computer to its original state."
After clicking the "start" button, you will have to make a choice either to save user data, or to completely clear the system disk.
In the first option, all personal data is saved, and in the second, a complete cleaning of the previously installed system is performed. Next, the installer will show the actions that it will perform and, after agreeing to restart the computer, will proceed with the installation.
Unlike other options, where setup plus activation follows after installation, this method at the end provides the user with how to install Windows 10 on a computer either clean or already configured and activated earlier.
What to do if windows 10 needs to be installed on the second system? To do this, pre-allocate at least 20 gigabytes of space on the hard disk, boot the computer, select the previously created USB or DVD media for loading. After agreeing to the license, an update or custom installation will be offered, which is clean. Next, there will be a choice of a section for installation, there we select the recently created section.
After installation, a mandatory reboot will follow, after which the system will start from the hard disk and provide a choice between the two installed OS. The timeout and location of the OS during the selection can be easily changed in the system settings, the item "Startup and Recovery" in the "System" section.
This installation is also clean, but it is not installed at the beginning of the hard drive, which can slow down overall performance. But on the other hand, it facilitates the transition for some users to the new OS interface, makes it possible to first familiarize themselves, and then make a choice.
How to install clean Windows 10 each user must choose from the level of their knowledge of the computer, as well as the needs for which this action was required. And also at least roughly know how to roll back the performed manipulations
