 INTRODUCTION

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 requirements,
so you may need a faster processor, more memory, or a
more powerful graphics card to upgrade if you plan to use
your computer for playing games or other demanding apps.

Michael U. Mamitag
 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor or System on a
Processor:
Chip (SoC)

RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit

Hard drive
16 GB for 32-bit OS 32 GB for 64-bit OS
space:

Graphics card: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver

Display: 800x600

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
Internet in S mode, and Windows 10 Enterprise in S mode require an
Connection: 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

Michael U. Mamitag
Turn on your computer

Michael U. Mamitag
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.

Michael U. Mamitag
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.

Consult the manual or online support page for your

computer to confirm the BIOS key for your computer.

Michael U. Mamitag
Enter BIOS using ASUS Utility

a. Press DEL or F2 to enter setup

Enter UEFI/BIOS Setting using ASUS

Michael U. Mamitag
b. Click Boot Menu in the right bottom corner or
Press F8

Michael U. Mamitag
c. Select your bootable flash drive then press enter
key.

Michael U. Mamitag
How do I know if I have UEFI or BIOS Setup?
1. Press Win + R > type msinfo32 and press Enter.
2. Look for the BIOS Mode entry.
If the value listed is Legacy, then the Boot
Environment is BIOS, otherwise the respective Boot
Environment will be listed.

Michael U. Mamitag
After a few moments. A “Press any key to boot from
USB…” phrase will appear then press any key.

Note: If you are using UEFI boot “Press any key to

boot from USB…” is not necessarily.

Michael U. Mamitag
 On windows setup
click next to begin.

Michael U. Mamitag
 Click Install now.

Michael U. Mamitag
 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).
Michael U. Mamitag
(If applicable) Select the edition of Windows 10. This
selection must match the edition your product key
activates and Click the Next button.

Michael U. Mamitag
Select the I accept the license terms
to agree option to continue.

Michael U. Mamitag
Click the Next button. Click on the Custom: Install
Windows only (Advanced) option.

Michael U. Mamitag
Select the partition with the current installation of
Windows (usually "Drive 0") and click the Delete
button to remove it from the hard drive.

Michael U. Mamitag
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.

Michael U. Mamitag
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.

Michael U. Mamitag
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

Michael U. Mamitag
 Click the Yes button to confirm
the deletion.Select the empty
drive (Drive 0 Unallocated
Space).

Michael U. Mamitag
Click the Next button.
Once you've completed the steps, the setup will
proceed to install Windows 10 on your device.
