If you need to
install or reinstall Windows 10, you can use the tools on this page to create
your own installation media using either a USB flash drive or a DVD.
Before you begin
- Make sure you have:
- An internet connection (internet service provider fees may apply).
- Sufficient data storage available on a computer, USB or external drive for the download.
- A blank USB or DVD (and DVD burner) with at least 4 GB of space if you want to create media. We recommend using a blank USB or blank DVD, because any content on it will be deleted.
- Read the System Requirements.
- If you will be installing the operating system for the first time, you will need your Windows product key (xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx). For more information about product keys and when they are required, visit the FAQ page.
Use the media
creation tool to download Windows. This tool provides the best download
experience for customers running Windows 7, 8.1 and 10. To learn how to use the
tool, go to the Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool
page. Tool includes:
- File formats optimized for download speed.
- Built in media creation options for USBs and DVDs.
- Optional conversion to ISO file format.
If you’re on an
Enterprise edition, the media creation tool won’t work for an upgrade.
Please see the Volume Licensing Service Center for more
information.
IMPORTANT: To upgrade for free, select Upgrade
this PC now in the tool. You should NOT be asked for a product key
during the upgrade process. If you create a USB and use it to install, make
sure to remove the USB as soon as setup begins. If you don't, you may be
prompted for a product key. If this happens, remove the USB and restart your PC
to continue with setup.
Will you be
running the tool from a 32 bit or a 64 bit device? Download the
version for the device that will run the tool.
After
downloading the media creation tool, Run it as Administrator. Wait for few
seconds. The time taken to run may vary according to your system.
IMPORTANT: Just
make sure that you have atleast 10GB free space in your C drive.
Click on the
'Create installation media for another PC'. Click Next. Select a folder to save
the ISO file. Make sure that you have atleast 5GB free space in that drive.
Wait until the
download completes. Then it starts verifying. After that it will create windows
10 media. Wait and let it finish.
Then
another screen appears with 'Burn ISO file to a DVD'
Burn the disc.
You are ready to go.
If you want the
files inside the ISO file before burning, Just goto your C drive. Make hidden
files visible.
Check for a
folder named ' $Windows.~WS '. Open it. Open "Sources>Windows".
Here you got the files.
NOTE: The media
creation tool will check for the current windows installation for the
qualification to upgrade to Windows 10.
