System requirements

To upgrade your Windows 7 or 8.1 machine to Windows 10, you will need to
meet system hardware requirements. Remember that these are just the minimum

Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor or System on a


Chip (SoC)
RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit
Hard drive space:16 GB for 32-bit OS 32 GB for 64-bit OS
Graphics card: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver
Display: 800x600
Internet Connection: Internet connectivity is necessary to perform updates and to
take advantage of some features. Windows 10 Pro in S mode, Windows 10 Pro
Education in S mode, Windows 10 Education in S mode, and Windows 10 Enterprise in
S mode require an internet connection during the initial device setup (OOBE) as well as
either a Microsoft account (MSA) or Azure Activity Directory (AAD) account. Switching
a device out of Windows 10 in S mode also requires internet connectivity
INSTALLATION
1. Turn on your computer
2. Insert installation media (e.g. bootable flash drive or optical media). To
install Windows 10, you need to load your Windows 10 installation file to a disk
or flash drive and insert the disk or flash drive into your computer.
3. To enter the configuration, press and hold Del or F2. This key may also be a
different key — most computers will display a startup message saying "Press [
key ] to enter setup" or something similar, so look for this message when your
computer reboots to confirm the key you should press to access the BIOS.

Enter BIOS using ASUS Utility


a. Press DEL or F2 to enter setup
b. b. Click Boot Menu in the right bottom corner or Press F8
c. c. Select your bootable flash drive then press enter key.
i. After a few moments. A “Press any key to boot from USB…” phrase
will appear then press any key.
d. On windows setup click next to begin.
e. Click Install now.
4. If you're installing Windows 10 for the first time or upgrading an old version, you
must enter a genuine product key. However, if you're reinstalling Windows 10,
you can click the I don't have a product key option to continue (if your computer
was already activated). (If applicable) Select the edition of Windows 10. This
selection must match the edition your product key activates.
5. Click the Next button.
6. Select the I accept the license terms to agree option to continue.
7. (If applicable) Select the edition of Windows 10. This selection must match the
edition your product key activates.
8. Click the Next button.
9. Select the I accept the license terms to agree option to continue.

10.Click the Next button. Click on the Custom: Install Windows only (Advanced) option.
11 Select the partition with the current installation of Windows (usually "Drive 0") and click the
Delete button to remove it from the hard drive
Partition size requirements.
If you are installing the 32-bit version of Windows 10 you will need at least 16GB,
while the 64-bit version will require 20GB of free space.
Quick Tip: If you have multiple partitions, on the primary hard drive (Drive 0), you
can select and delete each of the partitions to allow the setup to use the entire drive
for the installation. Windows 10 will create the required partitions automatically during
the installation. If you have multiple hard drives, you don't need to delete those
partitions.
Why do we need partitions?
Partitioning a disk can make it easier to organize files, such as video and photo
libraries, especially if you have a large hard drive. Creating a separate partition for
your system files (the startup disk) can also help protect system data from corruption
since each partition has its own file system

4. Click the Yes button to confirm the deletion.


Select the empty drive (Drive 0 Unallocated Space).
4. Click the Next button.
