    • 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.

Use the media creation tool to download Windows. This tool provides the best download experience for customers running Windows 7, 8.1 and 10. Below are the Instructions for using this free download to install windows 10.

Download the tool

Run the tool

If you chose to create installation media

You can install from an ISO, a USB, or a DVD. Here’s how:

  • Mount the ISO, and then run setup.exe from it.

  • If you downloaded to a USB or a DVD, run setup.exe from the USB or DVD.

Both of these options allow you to upgrade the PC if it’s already running Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, orWindows 10.

Note

  • If you created installation media using a USB, after your PC has restarted, if you see a message that says “Install Windows” instead of installation progress for your PC, you’ll need to disconnect the USB and then restart your PC again.

Warning

  • If you want to upgrade to Windows 10 for free, you need to use the Upgrade this PC now option. If you haven’t upgraded to Windows 10 yet and perform a clean installation, you’ll need to enter a product key or buy a license in order to activate Windows 10.

  • If you format a drive partition during installation, any data on the partition will be erased. Be sure to back up any data you want to keep before you begin.

  1. Turn on your PC, insert the DVD or USB flash drive, and then shut down your PC.

  2. Restart your PC, and then press any key to boot from the DVD or USB flash drive.

    If you restart your PC and your current version of Windows starts, you might have to open a boot menu or change the boot order in your PC’s BIOS or UEFI settings so that your PC boots from the media. To open a boot menu or change the boot order, you’ll typically need to press a combination of keys (such as F2, F12, Delete, or Esc) immediately after you turn on your PC. For instructions on changing the boot order for your PC, check the documentation that came with your PC or go to the manufacturer’s website.

    If changing the boot menu or order doesn’t work, try again by signing into Windows, shutting down, and then starting your PC.

  3. On the Install Windows page, enter your language and other preferences, and then select Next.

  4. Select Install Windows.

  5. On the Enter the product key to activate Windows page, enter your product key. The product key should be in a purchase confirmation email if you bought Windows 10. It looks like this: PRODUCT KEY: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX.

    Note

    • If you upgraded to Windows 10 on this PC by taking advantage of the free upgrade offer and successfully activated Windows 10 on this PC in the past, you won’t have a Windows 10 product key, and you can skip the product key page by selecting the Skip button. Your PC will activate online automatically so long as the same edition of Windows 10 was successfully activated on this PC by using the free Windows 10 upgrade offer.

  6. On the License terms page, if you accept the license terms, select I accept the license terms, and then selectNext.

  7. On the Which type of installation do you want? page, select Custom.

  8. On the Where do you want to install Windows? page, select the partition that you want, select the formatting option you want to perform (if needed), and then follow the instructions.

  9. When you’ve finished formatting, select Next.

  10. Follow the rest of the setup instructions to finish installing Windows.

  • File formats optimized for download speed.
  • Built in media creation options for USBs and DVDs.
