Need up to 30 seconds to load.
all right so you've just finished
building your new gaming PC but it needs
an operating system in this video I'm
going to show you a step-by-step guide
on how to install Windows 10 on your new
pc and also how to activate it quick
summary before we start just so you know
what we're doing we're using a program
from Microsoft to put Windows onto a USB
flash drive which will then plug into
our new pc we can then boot from that
flash drive and install Windows on our
new machine from there you can either
use Windows completely free if you can
live with the watermark or you can
activate it for 13 from today's video
sponsor Bob keys but more on that later
by the way if you want to skip to any
parts of this video I've added chapters
let's do this alright so you're gonna
need two things access to a laptop or PC
this is so we can download Windows 10
and create our bootable Drive the second
thing is a USB flash drive that has a
minimum capacity of 8 gigabytes also
bear in mind we will essentially be
wiping this flash drive so make sure
it's not got anything important on it
Type download Windows 10 into Google and
click the first result or just go
straight to this web address or click
the link in the description it'll bring
you to a page with a button that says
download tool now click that to download
the Windows media creation tool this is
a program that will allow us to create a
bootable USB drive that has Windows 10
on it once that's downloaded run the
program you'll have to accept the terms
of agreement and then you'll come to
this screen it's going to ask you what
you want to do click the second option
create installation media for another PC
the next screen will ask you which
language Edition and architecture you
want to use you can just leave that all
default unless you think you need to
change something like the language next
they'll ask us which media we want to
use we're using a USB flash drive so
it'll be option one by the way before
you click next plug in the USB flash
drive because we'll need it ready for
the next step so on this screen you just
select the USB flash drive you want to
install Windows to hit next and then go
make a coffee while you wait for Windows
10 to download and install itself onto
the USB flash drive
congratulations you just made yourself a
bootable USB drive with Windows 10 on it
now before we proceed a word of caution
if you only have one storage Drive in
your new system say an m.2 SSD you don't
need to worry about what I'm going to
say next however if you have two or more
drives installed in your PC say for
example an m.2 SSD and a three and a
half inch hard drive I would highly
recommend you disconnect all of the
drives other than the one you want to
install your operating system onto
before proceeding to install Windows
there are two reasons for this one it
will make sure we get a clean install on
our primary drive and two you won't
accidentally end up wiping your second
Drive assuming of course it had stuff on
it maybe from another PC okay so now
that's out of the way grab your bootable
USB drive plug it into one of the USB
ports on your new pc turn it on and it
should boot from that flash drive after
which you will see the Windows setup
screen if you got to this point you're
on the home straight on this first
screen just double check to make sure
the language is correct and hit next
click the install Now button now this
next menu is going to ask you for a
product key if you've already got one
you can enter it here otherwise just
click I don't have a product key we can
activate Windows after the installation
from here you just need to choose which
edition of Windows you want to install
I'd recommend going with Windows 10 Pro
and actually if you're using the exact
method that I'll show you later to
activate Windows you need to choose
Windows 10 Pro because we'll be using a
Windows 10 Pro license key you can't for
example install Windows home and then
upgrade to Pro it just doesn't work like
that we're going to be asked what type
of installation we want upgrade or
custom we're going to go with the second
option custom because this is a fresh
installation now on the next screen
you'll be asked to choose where you want
to install Windows 2 of course we only
have one drive connected so there is
only one option if you do still have
multiple drives connected obviously make
sure you choose the right one and that's
basically it Windows 10 will install
itself the only thing you'll have left
to do is just run through the final part
of the setup which includes stuff like
connecting to the internet and signing
into your Microsoft account and that's
it you can use Windows 10 now completely
free however that's assuming you can
live with this watermark in the bottom
right corner of the screen which by the
way will display over everything
including games if you want to get rid
of that you'll need a license key now if
you were to go straight to Microsoft
you'd pay 200 if that doesn't sound
appealing good news you can get one from
Bob Keys today's video sponsor for 13
and I always get questions like oh I
don't know if it's gonna work is it a
scam so what I thought I'd do is take
the opportunity to go undercover and buy
one myself so we're going to add Windows
10 Pro to our basket I'm gonna make a
brand new account on beob keys I'm gonna
go to check out add my code tt25 for 25
off and I'm gonna pay via Paypal now
after you've completed payment you can
head over to the user Center click on my
purchased orders and there you will see
your purchase along with a button that
says view key if you can't see that
button yet don't worry you just need to
wait for it to say order completed in
the status column it's usually pretty
quick but yeah just a heads up anyway
click the view key button copy the 25
character code this is our license key
head to Windows activation settings if
you don't know where that is you can
just type activate into your windows
search bar to bring It Up Click Change
product key paste in your license key
and hit enter and there we go Windows is
now successfully activated no more
Watermark now the first key I actually
purchased from Bob Keys was back in
October and it's still working
completely fine on my PC no issues
whatsoever if you do want to pick one up
click the link in the description and
don't forget to use code tt25 for 25 off
your order yeah there we have it guys
it's honestly pretty easy I know people
can get worried about the Windows
installation part because it might seem
difficult but it's really not if you've
got any questions by the way feel free
