How do I install Windows 10?

To install Windows 10, you first need a bootable installation medium. You can either burn the ISO file we provide to a DVD or create a bootable USB stick.


Important Note

Before you can start the installation, an installation medium must be created.

1. Boot from the installation medium

After you have created the installation medium, you need to adjust your computer's boot order in the BIOS or UEFI.

Restart your computer and open the BIOS/UEFI by pressing one of the following keys:

Delete, F2, F12, F1, F8, ESC or F10

Make sure your USB stick or DVD drive is set to the top under “Boot” or “Boot Priority”.

Important:
Do not change any other BIOS settings, as this may affect the functionality of your system.

2. Select language
