How to Install Windows 10 with DVD (With picture) Belal550

Install Windows 10. You don't need to be a professional or refer to a confusing manual in order to do so. Just follow below steps and you'll have Windows 7 installed on your computer in no time!

 

Before we get down the nitty-gritty of installing the OS, there are a couple of common installation errors. Here's how to fix them.

Something happened

Microsoft has thrown out some useless error messages before, but the ‘Something happened, Something happened’ one has to be one of the worst ever, giving no clue as to what the issue is. Fortunately, the issue can be fixed in one of two ways.

Step-1

1. Enter your computer's BIOS. Turn off the computer that you want to install Windows on then turn it back on. When the BIOS screen appears or you are prompted to do so, press Del, Esc, F2, F10, or F9 (depending on your computer’s motherboard) to enter the system BIOS. The key to enter the BIOS is usually shown on the screen.

Step-2

Step 2 - Set your computer to boot from DVD or USB

Once in Setup, find the Boot section. Now change the boot order to put the device you want to boot from first; this will be DVD or USB, depending on your installation media type. Bootable USB flash drives are sometimes listed as hard disks. If this is the case you'll need to set 'hard disk' as the first boot option, then go into the hard disk boot order sub-menu and put your USB boot disk at the top of the list. Find and select the Save and Restart option or equivalent. Your PC should now boot into the Windows 10 setup program - you may see a message to 'press any key to boot from USB', so do so.

Step 3 - Choose the Windows 10 clean install option

Once you're in the Setup program, select your language, time and currency format and input method, and click Next. Click the Install Now button. Enter your Windows key if prompted, and read and accept the software licence. In the next screen, select 'Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)'.

Step 4 - How to find your Windows 10 license key

At this point you'll be asked for your licence key. What you put it, depends on the type of Windows 10 that you have, but we'll explain how to deal with everything here.

If you're already on Windows 10 and want to know your license key, you can always download product key and extract your Windows 10 product key from there. Write this down on a piece of paper or save it to an external drive.

1. If you have bought Windows 10 from a store or as a download

If you physically purchased a copy of Windows 10, either from a store or via an online shop as a download, you will have a full and proper Windows 10 code. You should enter this at this point and you will not be asked for it again. This is the simplest way of handling the installation.

2. If you have upgraded from Windows 7 or Windows 8

Provided you created new boot media using the latest version of Windows 10 (i.e. you weren't using an older installation disc or USB key), you can now just enter in your valid Windows 7 or Windows 8 key, and your licence will automatically be updated to a Windows 10 one with no additional hassle.

3. You bought Windows 7 or Windows 8 and want to move to a new computer

If you paid for a boxed or downloaded copy of Windows 7 or Windows 8, your licence allows you to move it to a new computer, provided you delete it from the device the OS is currently installed on. This means that, even if you upgraded your original computer to Windows 10, you can move your OS to a new computer and claim another upgrade to Windows 10. With the new system, you just need to enter your Windows 7 or Windows 8 licence key when prompted and your computer will upgrade to Windows 10.

Step 5 - Select your hard disk 

What you'll see in the next screen depends on whether you're installing on a blank disk, or whether your disk has had an operating system installed on it previously. If it's a blank disk, you'll be shown a drive with ' Space', so just select it and click Next. Windows will then start the installation process.

If your disk has had an operating system on it previously, or if you have more than one hard disk in your PC, you'll be shown a screen with several disks and partitions. The disks will be called 'Drive 0', 'Drive 1' and so on, and if a disk has previously had a Windows installation it will be split into partitions with labels such as 'Recovery', 'System', 'MSR' and 'Primary'.

Before you install Windows 10 you'll need to delete all these partitions, by selecting each one and clicking the Delete icon. This will erase all data on the partitions, so quadruple-check that a) you're deleting partitions from the correct drive and b) that you're absolutely sure you've already backed up everything you need.

Bear in mind that this may also delete your manufacturer's recovery partitions, so you won't be able to go back to your previous operating system. Once you've finished deleting partitions, make sure the drive you want to use for your Windows 10 installation is selected and press Next to install.
