You need to have ISO Windows 10 bootable CD/DVD or USB drive to be able to install Windows 10.
Learn how to Create Bootable Media.
If you already have bootable CD/DVD or USB drive then you can skip this part.
Before we go to Windows 10 installation, first you need to change the first boot device of your computer BIOS to be able to boot your bootable CD/DVD or USB drive.
Learn how to Change First Boot Device.
Now that were done with creating bootable media and changing first boot device, we are now ready to Windows 10 installation.
Turn ON your computer and wait to black screen to show up. When you see the "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD..." simply press any key on your keyboard.
Note: If you dont press any key it will boot direct to your current OS. If this happens, simply reboot and try to boot to the CD or USB drive again.
Read: You don't need to do anything at this point but wait for Windows 10 to finishing loading files in preparation for the setup process.
Note: No changes are being made to your computer at this time. Windows 10 is just temporarily "loading files" into memory for the setup process.
Choose the Language to install, Time and currency format, and Keyboard or input method that you'd like to use in your new Windows 10 installation.
Read: This will officially begin the Windows 10 clean install process.
Note: The Repair your computer link is used to start a Windows 10 Startup Repair or perform another recovery or repair task from System Recovery Options.
The Windows 10 setup process is now beginning. No need to press any keys here, everything is automatic.
Enter the product key that came with your retail purchase or legal download of Windows 10. If Windows 10 came as part of your complete computer system, Enter the product key you were given as part of that purchase.
Note: If Windows originally came preinstalled on your computer, your product key is probably located on a sticker attached to the side, back, or bottom of your computer's case.
Important: You may be able to avoid Entering a product key at this point but you will eventually need to do so in order to continue using Windows 10. I highly advise that you Enter your product key here and choose to Automatically activate Windows when I'm online.
Before upgrading to Windows 10 Pro, make sure your device is up to date and running the most recent version of Windows 10 Home.
To upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro, you'll need a valid product key or a digital license for Windows 10 Pro for the device you are upgrading. You'll have a digital license if Windows 10 Pro was already installed and activated on your device.
Note: Read through the agreement, check the I accept the license terms checkbox under the agreement text, and then Click Next to confirm that you agree with the terms.
Important: You are not breaking any laws or contracts by reinstalling Windows 10 via this clean install. As long as this particular copy of Windows 10 is only being operated on one computer, you are OK.
Important: Even if you are upgrading from a previous operating system to Windows 10, I highly recommend that you do not follow the Upgrade installation. You'll get better performance with less chance of issues if you follow these clean install steps.
Important: If you have a new or otherwise empty hard drive and you were installing Windows 10, you will not see this! Skip this and go to Step 14 instead.
Note: Windows 10 setup considers partition management as an advanced task, so you'll need to Click the Drive options (advanced) link to make those options available.
Now that all available drive options are listed, you can delete any operating system related partitions from your existing hard drives. Highlight the partition you want to delete and then Click the Delete link.
Warning: This will remove all of the information on that partition. Everything on that drive will be deleted during this process.
Note: If there are any other partitions that need to be deleted, you can do so at this time. Highlight the partition and Click the Delete link.
Note: As you can see, the partition we deleted in the last step is gone. It may appear like it's still there but if you look closely, you'll see that that same 59.7 GB space is now described as Unallocated Space, not as a partition.
Warning: This will remove all of the information on that partition. Everything on that drive will be deleted during this process.
Read: As you can now see, all the space on the installed hard drive is unallocated. No partitions exist on this computer. Now Choose the appropriate unallocated space to install Windows 10 on and then Click Next.
Note: You do not need to manually create a new partition nor are you required to manually format a new partition. Windows 10 Setup will do this automatically.
Read: Windows 10 will now begin installing. No user intervention is necessary. Everything is automatic.
Note: Depending on the speed of your computer, this process could take anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes.
Note: When your computer restarts, Setup will continue.
Do not press any key on your keyboard! This time you will just let the computer boot up to continue by doing nothing.
Please wait while Windows 10 is loading. This usually only takes a minutes.
In the background, Windows 10 is identifying all of the hardware that makes up your computer and installing the appropriate drivers for those devices, if available.
This process usually takes just a few minutes and you may see your screen flicker and go blank from time to time.
Note: Your PC will automatically restart again.
Important: Do not restart your computer manually at this point. Windows 10 Setup will restart your PC for you. If you interrupt the setup process by restarting manually, the clean install process may fail. You may then need to start the Windows 10 setup over again from the beginning.
Do not press any key on your keyboard! And again just let the computer boot up to continue by doing nothing.
Please wait while Windows 10 is loading. This usually only takes a minutes.
