Installing Windows 10 From Scratch - Win 10 Wrangling 

NOTE: As of the latest build, you can now select a local account even when connected to the internet again. So you don't need to worry about taking the machine offline first.

Had no idea how to install with an offline account. Thank you for making this video. This made the install a breeze. Wish it would have helped with the troubleshooting and fixing the machine I was working on, but that is a different story! Again, thanks for taking the time to upload this and all the other videos you make. I really enjoy them and manage to learn a thing or three while relaxing and being entertained.

very crisp and clear voice, great video-:)

Thank you kindly for this guide. It was really helpful

Easy, but a great tutorial for the beginners out there.

Excellent thanks.

I like your videos. Thank you.

I agree with you, the less info I send to microsoft the better! (In the past I have always installed from DVD, but the last time I re installed windoze I used a USB3 pen drive and was amazed how much faster it was!)

There is a key difference between Home & Pro, many users have laptops, & getting Pro is a good idea if you want Bitlocker so your data is secure if it gets stolen. Yes there are free solutions for that, but it's still a difference that might cause a home user to choose Pro. Other differences too, but not many that would affect a typical user.

There's actually quite a few differences between Home and Pro that don't rely on a domain. Bitlocker, Hyper-V and RDP come to mind.

fun thing about windows 10 pro licencing, you can safely chose pro if you ever activated windows pro, pro n, or pro education, it will activate without problems from microsoft database of your system because n and education licences are considered upgrade to regular pro. home hwewer might not activate from pro licence, i think regular home will however activate from home n key all upgrade licences will switch back to being n or education if you type in actual key in activation center on pro you don't have to unplug internet if you want offline account, on home you are forced to do it if you don't want to make microsoft account, but internet is still required for activation

thank you

good video

I managed a clean install the other day. it did not prompt me for a key because it was activated previously. of course my lenovo ideapad 320 had the key in the bios. I successfully installed windows with narrator as I rely on a screen reader due to my visual impairment and once cortana started talking to me I knew the waiting was over. for me here are the programmes I installed after that. google chrome, and NVDA screen reader as narrator still has a long way to go

If you need to type in a email adress for an User you can Click in the left cornber, for an LOCAL User on this PC. So you can connect to the Internet. Just works for me over the last years with Windows 10 reinstalls

Note: you need to activate windows because it won’t be activated especially on a new build computer so you can have full access to all of the settings but for a test pc it dosent need to be activated

Hi, found your channel and picking up tons of tricks. Have a USB Dongle problem for Win 10 that seems to be all over the forums. Upgrading a older HP 8100 Desktop and tried 2 WIFI dongles and the connection just keeps dropping out every few mins and have to troubleshoot to get it on and rinse and repeat as you would say to try to keep it going. done all the usual Device manager things like power saving, freq, uninstall and used HP own Win 7 drivers and Windows 10 update drivers and still no good. This computer dosent have any drivers for 10 from the HP site, only 7 drivers left over for the 8100 but my question is why does the connection work for say up to a hour or just mins then turn off?? If its a driver issue or conflict?, why does it work at all? Loaded Win 10 on a dozen 8100's and almost everyone had this problem and trying to to updates ect is almost impossible using a USB Wifi dongle. So anything besides the obvious that you know about to fix this common issue? Thanks

8:50 Another tip on making a local account, make sure to not set a password right away, because it'll ask for security questions afterward.

8:16 not really a true, because you can still create local user and login without ms account when your computer is connected to internet, however you will need to confirm few times that you really do not wish to use ms account (by default few steps are configured to use ms account, but you can always use the local account instead).

HP=F12 for boot menu direct

there are defenses between home and pro Feature. but for 99.9% of user no three is no diff Feature the ones that are are stuff like BitLocker device encryption, Group Policy( if you need GP then you are not a normally user like myself i use gp for my child account so that she cant get into place she dose not need to be) those are just a few most of them are business thing like Ad and domain joining etc. but you are right for most uset no there is not diff

This is good.....this good... what about the reset option when windows decides you need more ...."exercise"...

You can create a local account, even if you are connected to the internet (on Pro version as well) ;)

you can set up a local account with the internet connected. You dont need to disconnect the internet to set it up.

Adamant it pro includes a kiosk mode

when are we going to get the "comfy setup" video? @14:45

When you setup a local account you will need to set security Q Do you need to answer does Q when you connect to a Microsoft account later? i can't remember how that works, I'm asking this since i freshly install windows10 for someone else, but of course, i don have his email info, etc, so wil he run into this at home ? any general rule how to setup for a "client ? "maybe a script ?

Windows 10 Home edition doesn't have remote desktop PRO does!

If I have 2 HD, the 1st one has windows already, is there a way I can install windows on the 2nd one (hd)? without the flash drive, directly from the 1st HD

Does Windows 10 Home have the Group Policy Editor?...

Windows update installs old crappy drivers, its better to download drivers from your motherboard's website and your gpu's website

That's not true. Home doesn't support Hyper V and some other dev features

Funny thing, before I figured that out, I did manage to get on offline account several times during that process haha. Involved using cuss words @live.ca a few times, nd messing with the passwords and it would kick me off to local account after a few tries every time.

If you are a power user, Windows 10 Pro IS the best of the two. And yes, there is a difference.

The big difference between Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro is the security of the operating system. Windows 10 Pro is safer when it comes to protecting your PC and protecting data. Otherwise the rest of the differences are mostly business related. PS: noticed a lot of comments from yesterday are no longer visible. If you are hen picking comments, I'm out. Is this really how you are managing your comment? I must not be understanding something.

I enjoy Linux most. I think windows are best for playing games and photoshoping. If gaming and photography is not your cup of tea I think linux can serve people better as an os. Linux mint is a decent os but so far I did not manage to perform OCR on pdf's in linux. In any case if you decide to install linux do NOT try this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Star_OS

Great video.....I wouldn't run Windows 10, or Windows any. I have gotten to the point I despise Windows and I am a Microsoft registered refurbisher. Oh well, great job.

what are you thinking? i hate windows 10 and i love windows 8.0
