How to Build Windows 10 on a Laptop or Desktop Computer
To install Windows 10 cleanly on the computer you buy or on the computer you use, you first need the ISO file.
After downloading ISO, you will need a Flash Memory of 8 GB minimum. You must burn the operating system that you downloaded to your computer into a Bootable Flash Memory.
You can download the Windows operating system using Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool and prepare Bootable Flash Memory. You can also burn a Windows ISO file to Flash Memory using a tool such as Rufus.
You do not need to have Flash Memory for it. Otherwise, you can install it on your computer’s CD/DVD drive. For example, you can burn the Windows ISO file you downloaded to a DVD media using a program such as Nero and start the installation.
How to Configure Windows 10 Enterprise
Before you begin the installation step by step, prepare a Bootable Flash Memory using Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool. You can download only Home and Pro versions of Windows to your computer using the Media Creation Tool.
Download the Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC ISO file that we published in the previous article to your computer and print the ISO file to Flash Memory.
Then, follow the steps below to install the Windows 10 operating system step by step on a PC.
