Windows 10: How to install Windows after purchase

Hello again


I decided to buy Windows 10 from Microsoft, but it's the first time I am installing it and I need some help from you.



1. After I purchase it how will I receive it and what does it look like? Is it a link? Where is it I receive it?

2. How do i transfer it on a USB drive? Just '' send to'' to the USB Drive?

3. How many GB should the usb drive have? Is 4 GB enough?

4. What is a bootable Windows 10 usb flash drive and why do i need to create one? Does not sending windows on the usb enough and then install it?


Can you please tell me what are the steps from buying to installing Windows 10?


I have never done this and I am at loss to know how to install windows from scratch.

Thank you again!

:)

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.
