Apart from all the rest of it. For starters UEFI or Legacy bios settings and what build version it is. That can have an effect. Then you have to deal with drivers!!! Device manager, Disk management??? But as far as the heading goes it should get windows on your pc
Thank you for a clear, no-nonsense explanation. So often one has to sit through a whole lot of junk, watching people putting in 67 screws, etc. This one is straight to the point and no mucking about, thank you.
Well that has to be the simplest, clearest, comprehensive video I’ve seen in a long while! May build my own pc this year, saved this video and had to subscribe! Brilliant.
Thanks so much for making this. Important to remove that annoying watermark when I’m streaming so thanks again! So glad I don’t have to pay $200 anymore!!
I love you man, my files got corrupted, my father was furious for all the stress it caused him, we thought my psu was completely broken, and now it finally works, everything is okay Matt.
Rarely does the sponsor ever impact the video content directly. Hats off you you man! This was the coolest and straightforward videos guide ever. Only topped by like hour plus videos but nobody has time for that 😂
@@dallascharles3692 It depends what motherboard you're running and what the BIOS configuration is. The bootable media might still be corrupted as the above comment states, so I recommend formatting the drive before you install Windows 10 on it. Usually the installation of the Windows 10 installer will do that for you but I've had times where it doesn't. Good luck mate.
Was a bit unsure of using this method, but you sounded convincing and trust worthy enough, so I followed every step. All I can say is thankyou for this really easy method, really accurate and concise video and I now have sucessfully installed Windows onto my PC :) liked and subbed. Thanks again.
This is incredibly helpful, I’ll definitely make use of this when I build my computer here in the next week or two. Always liked windows 10 over 11 personally.
You will not believe how much you helped me. I was so frustrated with my computer at the beginning, then I came across this video and now it works. Thank you so much
@@D3C0Y it went exactly the way as in this video. But i had already the booter-USB plugged in and i did not had to go to BIOS and us any boot menu and it automatically started installing windows. Though be careful cuz the download will take time (not sure if it depends on your network speed or Microsoft just limits the speed for that) and in my case i had to redownload the thing cuz there was an error near the end. It can be annoying when you download the thing and at the end it says "LOL nope, do it again".
one thing i feel you should have mentioned is you should have gone over how to reactivate and alocate the remaining storage devices since you expressly recommended to disconnect the ones that wont be used as OS install, newcomers might be left with a "well now what" and simply unused extra storage
@@myst278 When you install a new drive, ssd or hdd, you will have to set it up in windows to be able to use it. Basically. This especially might happen if you install windows with disconnected drives because windows wont search and automatically allocate the storage that is not connected.
Thanks to your installation guide, I was quickly on track to finally getting my budget PC build video finished with a fully setup Windows PC. Steps were straight forward to follow, proceeding with installing turned out easier than expected. Thanks for sharing... Great video!
@@exoticc-lp1sp Not that I have tried. Though a friend of mine helped me activate windows (all it really does is removes watermark) somehow, but I don't recollect which way it was done...
This video is a great guide. I would say to DEFINITELY spend the money to get a real version of windows/ activation key. I bought one off of a site like this about 2 years ago and it worked until 5 months ago where I started having bugs and windows would no longer allow me to update. This was because Microsoft realized it was a false windows key and locked me out. I now have to buy a new version and reinstall a ton. Its not worth the hassle. Please just buy genuine windows. YOU WON'T REGRET IT.
Hi! I have a question! So in the first part of the video he showed people how to instal windows for free using usb stick, will you still have to do that and still buy the real version of windows, or can you just power on your pc and but the real version of windows without a usb stick?
Thank you for making it simple. Too many guys out there trying to get you lost in a lot of crap that doesn’t matter in the BIOS. Much easier than they made it out to be.
Very helpful, I thought I had to go to Amazon and buy a retail key or usb flash drive for $188 since I bought the windows 10 pro dvd version on accident. Thanks so much for saving my life and avoiding another purge on my wallet 🙏🙏🙏
for anyone who accidentally installed the wrong version of Windows, don't worry. Nothing on Windows will let you fully reset to the point where you can redo that, but your bios should let you completely wipe and re-partition your hard drive. It's probably different depending on the bios, but it works so don't worry you're not doomed
Thanks. I was actually having a philosophical paradox before I watched this video. (I need internet to download WiFi drive, the chicken and the egg!). Thank God you showed up.
@@IMZO_ if you have a wifi adapter or if your motherboard already has wifi then installing windows is sufficient. Your adapter will use windows' drivers.
Wow. One of the best tutorial videos I have ever seen (and I have seen quite a few). Plus the discount at the end? Though I was dreaming! Great job and thank you!
Waited 6 hours for windows to download and my computer blue screened… I didn’t have time to wait another 6 hours but I tried it anyway and it finished in 30 minutes! This was super simple and for some reason other guides I found were a lot more complicated… thank you!!!
So I’ve had my pc for about two years now and my m.2 literally just quit on me with no warning. I was able to get it working again long enough for me to download a program that tells me the health of the drive and it said only 2 percent of its life was used. Or maybe I misunderstood and it said there was only 2 percent life left… lmao either way that same day the pc restarted and went into the bios automatically because my OS was installed on the m.2 so now my pc is a brick. As much as I know about building computers and trouble shooting issues I’ve never once installed windows so I appreciate the video and step by step instructions.
I was really hoping to just move my existing boot drive to my new PC without reformatting, but that process is so convoluted and error prone that I am going to follow this really simple and concise tutorial instead. Thanks!
Hey man so I was doing some research and people were saying the cheap windows 10 keys may only work for a little bit then just not work? So I kinda don’t know what I should do
For the people whos usb isnt booting by default Go to the bios To go to the bios press delete f11 f12 or esc keys like that while it boots up After you enter the bios Go to boot options With your keyboard arrow keys And select boot priority 1 You wil have some drives in which windows can boot from Select the name of the flash drive And navigate to save and exit Then press enter 2 times
I watch other RU-vidrs They only show you the setup procedure they never showed you how to put it on the flash drive and all that other stuff thanks I never knew you have to unpack windows on the flash drive👍🏿
Another great video Josh !!! I'm just about to build my first pc myself when everything arrives from Overclockers LOL so this video has been very useful...... However I have a quick question. I am fitting an M.2 hard drive but also I will be moving across my HD drive and my Solid state drive. My solid state drive already has windows 10 on it from my old computer and some work and gaming stuff. is there a way I can remove windows off my old drive and just keep my work and game stuff on there or do I need to copy that to a usb stick, wipe the drive and put it back on ? any help or a video would be massively helpful. again keep up the great work.... !!! ;-)
Oh my god thank you!!! I had an m.2 and a traditional ssd and I was getting stuck in the boot menu. Unplugged the larger ssd and it worked immediately.
I hope the promo code will stay for a while longer! It saves a lot! And tyvm for the video! The most easy to understand and detailed one ive seen so fat
I bought the windows operating system and theres a dvd, I was expecting a flash drive it’s 2022….I don’t have a cd drive what foK do I do with this frizbee? How do I get windows off that cd onto a flash drive.??
Thanks for this very good and clear videos as usual. Just a quick question : It is necessary to reinstall w10 when you change keep your hard drive and change the cpu or ram or motherboard or graphic card ? It is so long to reinstall all apps and i have 3 hard drive. Always afraid :-(
Hi, not with RAM, Hard Drive, or GPU upgrades (although your gpu will require new drivers). Not 100% sure about CPU; have heard that motherboard needs it. I would create the tool just in case (edited for clarity).
Omg thanks so much i am building a pc for my older sister bc her birthday is soon and i just couldnt figure out how to get windows i really appreciate this.
When your downloading windows on your other pc/laptop, will it work if it’s made by apple? (So does it have to be a windows pc/laptop) or can it be apple
Apple devices like:MacBooks or IMacs are already installed with a Apple os/macOS. So you don’t need to install windows 10 on the device. You still can try installing it via the boot camp assistant: support.apple.com/en-us/HT201468
you need windows. you cannot install windows from the media tool on a mac. it doesnt install. you should try the trial version of parallels. and use the arm windows bc its not out yet. its free and will get the job done. that way you get windows on your mac to install the drive and put it in your pc
When I go to the website there are no windows activation keys all are just games or something and when I search it doesn't come up could this be cause I'm checking this on mobile?
Thank you so much I just got a M.2 drive and I had no Idea how to download windows on to it and i was trying to figure it out for about an hour and this was the only video that helped me finally do it.
I love the video. Thanks! :) I was hoping you could help me with a windows installation question: I have windows installed on a Samsung 120GB SATA SSD that has been full for a few years. For my second build, I was thinking of copying this to a 1TB NVME SSD rather than buying windows again. I remember buying it years ago as a windows 8 key as this was cheaper at the time than Windows 8.1. Now obviously my PC is running Windows 10 these days. Question - Will my key will still be valid for my build when I start it in a few months? I threw away the key years ago because I had redeemed it and didn't think I would need it again.
@@gillightning2147 ohh okay so I have the downloaded iso on the usb I plug to pc and install it okay work and now here is the question I download the windows to my pc when I start the pc I need to plug in again (the downloaded windows pc)
You are a life saver! , First time making my pc , I was getting so confused with so many tutorials and making my life a lot easier to finding a Windows 10 key that isn't over 300$ CDN
i miss straight-to-the-point videos like this.. i have a prebuilt after that i built an i5 and an i9 9900k.. boot drive was the final boss lol. good vid thanks
