Creating an Installation Disc or Drive


Download Article
1.

Connect a blank USB flash drive or insert a blank writable DVD. You can install Windows
10 by creating a bootable USB flash drive or DVD that contains the Windows 10 installation
files. You'll need a USB flash drive that's at least 8GB, or any blank DVD to get started.[1]
 If you already have Windows 10 installed on the PC and just want to reinstall it, it'll be
easiest to reinstall it from within Windows 10 instead of creating installation media.
 If you want to upgrade from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, you won't need to create an
installation disc or drive. However, you will need to follow most of this method to start
the upgrade.
Make sure you have a product key. If you bought Windows 10 through Microsoft using
your Microsoft account, your product key is already linked to your account. If you bought
Windows 10 from another retailer, you'll have a 25-character product key that you'll need to have
handy to activate Windows.[2]
 If you don't have a product key or you're installing Windows 10 on a new hard drive,
make sure you've linked your Windows 10 digital license to your Microsoft account
before you start the installation.[3] Head to Settings > Update &
Security > Activation from the current installation—if the activation status says
Windows is activated with a digital license, click Add an account and follow the on-
screen instructions to link your Microsoft account.
 If you're upgrading from an earlier version and your PC qualifies for a free upgrade, you
won't need a product key.
Go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10%20. This is the
official download site for Windows 10.
Click Download tool now . This is a blue button in the middle of the page. This
downloads the Media Creation Tool, which you'll use to create your
installation media (or start your upgrade).
Double-click the downloaded file. Its name begins with "MediaCreationTool" and ends with
".exe." You'll find it in your default download folder, which is usually called Downloads.
 Click Yes when prompted to allow the installer to run.

Click Accept to accept the license. It's in the bottom-right corner of the
window.
Select "Create installation media" and click OK. This option lets you create a Windows
installation disc or drive that will work on any compatible PC, not just the one you're using now.
 If you're updating your PC from an earlier version of Windows, select Upgrade this PC
now instead, and then follow the on-screen instructions to install Windows 10. You're
done!

1. Select your preferences and click Next . If you're installing Windows on the current PC, you
can keep the default options. If you need to install on a different PC, make sure you choose the
language and edition for which you have a license, and select the architecture (64-bit or 32-bit)
that matches the PC you're going to install on.
 If you're not sure about the architecture, you can choose Both from the menu.
2.
Choose an installation type and click Next . An ISO file is a type of file that can
be burned to a DVD, so choose that option if you plan to create a DVD.
Otherwise, choose the USB flash drive option.

Create your installation media. The steps are a little different depending on what you're doing:
[4]
 Flash drive: Select your flash drive from the list, click Next, and wait for the installation
files to install. When the process is complete, click Finish.
 DVD/ISO: Click Save to save the ISO file to your computer—it may take a while
because the file is large and has to be downloaded. Once downloaded, you'll see a
progress screen that monitors the download. When the download is complete, click Open
DVD burner on the "Burn the ISO file to a DVD" screen, select your DVD burner, and
then click Burn to create your DVD.
