Guys, REMEMBER TO DISCONNECT THE USB BEFORE THE COMPUTER RESTARTS. I was in a continuous loop of installing windows , restarting to continue, then back to installing. I completely forgot I changed the settings to boot from USB. Once you have installed Windows and it says restarting to continue, take out the USB before device restarts otherwise it will attempt to install again. I literally spent a full day changing settings and trying everything. Once I realised what was happening it worked straight away. Hope this helps someone ✌️

I'm so thankful that Microsoft lets us install and use windows 10 without a key. This was more difficult on older windows.

This was super cool. I was stuck for 3 days with my crushed windows 10 and worried about the cost, but that was amazing, be blessed.

Just as a heads up, if you have a Windows 7 or 8 key, you can use those to activate Windows 10, so long as the key is a valid key.

You young people amaze me with these computers this was very informative thank you

As a first time PC Builder this helps me a lot! Kudos mate for the clear cut tutorial.

It was the first time for me installing windows. Thank you so much, it helped me a lot!🌸

Back in the days I always used to have a copy of Windows installed on dual boot or on a Virtual Box on my Linux devices. But I am really happy that I don't need Windows anymore since a few years back.

I just went a little over budget on my PC so i think I will be using it unactivated 😁😂Nice vid btw keep it up!

I did this on this computer 5 years ago and its still working fine without any real activation code. Now I'm getting ready to to the same but with Windows 11 here in a few months after my move. BTW awesome and simple video! Just needed a quick refresher on how it was properly done!

I went with the Upgrade from Win. 7 Ult. Took almost 5 hours. Paused at 57% on creating win 10 media for about 1 hour & 30 min. Then once it started to install windows 10, that took another 2 hours (paused at 32%, 52% & 82%). But it's all good! Everything is working fine. None of my setting have changed. Printer still working fine. Thanks for the Plug > Nerd on a Budget!! 5 star Rating!

Life saver, I couldn't have stumbled upon a better video for my first pc build.

Just downloaded the windows 10 now, Man your video really helped me a lot thank you millions times

The way you explain make things easier....clear and concise👏👍

I've been browsing your videos for a bit now and not a single one isn't helpful. Thank you for putting time and effort into giving your viewers the information they look for!

Haven't had my win 10 activated since I updated years ago. 2 things to note. You'll randomly get the ACTIVATE WINDOWS watermark in the lower right corner. There's very minor limitations like not being able to change your wall paper. My best assumption is that Microsoft is giving away windows on purpose. They make so much from oems, enterprise, si's, etc that individual users actually paying is just a bonus. The winrar model.

I was literally looking up how to do this today and bam your video pops up

I followed along and did everything you were doing. Worked perfectly. Thanks.

Thank you so much! I finished helping my cousin build his PC recently and he was bummed to find out he needed a OS so we found this video, soon he'll be gaming in no time! This helped a lot and im soo glad we found this vid! Thank you so much!

I did this with my recent build(before i saw this video) and it worked like a charm.

Hands down tNice tutorials is one of the best tutorials I've seen on any subject, ever! Clear, concise and incredibly informative and easy to follow.

I’m about to build my first gaming PC and I was nervous about this step but it looks fairly easy. Now hopefully my PC will boot after I build it. Then I’ll be confident 😩😂

this really helped me alot, the breakdown and everything. thanks bro. You did a great job! God bless you!

i like how he speedruns the whole thing

Love this video! More precise and good explanation

This actually worked for me thank you so much! I had a Chrome browser hijacker on Windows 7 that I could not get rid of so I upgraded to Windows 10, then downloaded Chrome and it was gone! Thanks again.

Thanks so much im setting up a new pc for my boyfriend for his birthday next week and this helped so much!!

Thanks for the tutorial, I was nervous about finding a website myself, so it was nice to know that there was an official website to use safely. I am going to be finding a gray market key for $15ish bucks for my personal build with a 5800x and 3060 :). Very excited, and thanks to you I now have what I need to get it up and running!!

I've been doing it like this on my extra builds. My main build I had a key for, but I'm leaving the ones for my nephews unactivated. It works just fine, just can't do everything like customization unless you do a few things, but it works just fine otherwise. .

Hi mate, I was struggling with installing a new video. Your video was a great help. My laptop is back working now. Thank you for the great video and keep up the good work.

Thanks worked well. I updated from 8 to 10, very easy!. Took about 3 hours, due to download, installation etc. Appreciate you help.

Great video. Thank you for taking the time to make it. Please keep making great videos ! ! !

congratulations! you are now in the sponsorblock database :3

I don't have any idea how to reset and install windows on my PC but this tutorial truly save me. Thank you so much! 💖

number 1 speedrunner for windows 10

Hey Buddy! thanks for your vid. I am totally using this as a step by step and glad you have a clear English accent that I can understand. Too many weird accents with super bad pronunciations. I'm from Cape Town South Africa. I am forced at the present time to use Windows inactivated. I am installing it on a laptop with a windows 7 key, so I am interested to see if it's going to pick that one up at all. I have used rufus software to setup a thumbdrive installer berfore, but trying out the Windows Media Creator for the first time. Again. Thanks

You've actually got so quality stuff on your channel. Keep that up man!

I liked that this was a actual usage of the install. Lots of videos are a go over after the fact and those aren't as clear.

OMG 😱 thank youuu sooo much! I've been looking a lot of videos here on YT, and you're video is the only thing that explains a lot. I am sooo happy right now

Yo that’s a sick ass anime frame bro, which anime is that berserk gatsu, general gutz? Let me know thanks!

Me right now: IM HELPING

Hello! It's not letting me choose the hard drive. How can I fix that?

Not only did u get me out the bios loop but u also gave me windows 10. I love u. I liked and subscribed

Thank you so much I built my first pc the other day and was super confused. I’m going to see if I can try this tomorrow thank you

Thank you very much for the help!

Awesome vid bro! Very helpful. Exactly what I needed to know. Thanks!

Thanks a lotfor the tutorial! yet how about simply install straight into the laptop at the same time after getting the entire Package which was intended to be stored in the USB Flash Dr, Your generous reply is appreciated, Nerd esq , regards

Bro, make a simple vidio on clone old hhd or SSD to new system ✌️

Thanks, Thanks. I accidentally deleted everything from my chrome book trying to get the school work off my computer to free up space and everyone on KZfaq don't take their time to explain the problem the right way. Thanks again.

How much gb it consume bro

My boy danny back at it again with the quality content

You brilliant, very clear and calm instructions thank you

ANd thanks for this classic tutorial, it helps a lot by means of installing and downloading good thing that it's easy to follow. thank you

Just did this realizing my flash drive didn’t have 8gb… got a new one and it works

This video was really insightful thanks a lot for making this

I'm trying to upgrade my existing OS from 8.1. I got upto min 5:22 following your video but now it's not auto-recognizing. So now what should I do? Which file do I run?

windows 10 free are permanently? or 30 days trials?

Upgrading old laptop from windows 7. Should have done it ages ago 🙈 Very useful video.

Thanks, clear and concise! Now, if you had selected to install OVER Windows 7, per say, all your programs would be upgraded as well (except old ones that don't run on Win10) I suppose? And the installation would then take much long, yes? Also, do we get stuck with ALL the Win 7 OS files, or can we delete them safely? Thanks!

Good video but i clicked on it thinking it would be completely free then realizing that i need another computer and a flash drive

Thanks bro! It helped a lot, and you explained it really well.

Thanks for this video is really help me got windows 10 installed upgrades from windows 8.1. I finally got it to work after careful follow step by step.

This is gonna help for when I get a good pc

Hey thanks for this video...These are the kinds of tutorials I need. Slow, precise, and proficient. So many people do it so fast. I am having an issue you might be able to help me with. I would appreciate any assistance. You should know that no one I have spoken to can fix this issue. I am on windows 10 Pro TC-864 (pc) and the system will accept any external drives. The drive shows up in my devices menu but there is always a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it. No matter what I do to troubleshoot nothing works. Even in menu where you format the drive to another number i.e. x-fat or assign a new letter, first of all the drive doesn't even show up so there is nothing to change in that menu. I have all windows updates. Oh, all the drives I want to use work in a windows 7 and Mac machine. Furthermore, when I connect these drives i.e. Samsung T5 or a Lacie Porsche it crashes the entire system and makes all USB's un-operational. I have to then restart the computer several times sometimes to get it back. There is the one thing of note in my device menu that has a picture of a desktop image (looks like a desktop computer tower) this is the name DESKTOP-MMLQJJP has a rectangle exclamation. This is driving nuts my computer will not allow me to use external drives. Thank you for your time... I also have another issue. I bought a Lacie Porsche drive 2T brand new, when I hooked it up, the drive said it only had 121 Gigs of 43 is available. I called Lacie they acknowledge the drive is a 2TB so how can the thing have these storage on it? Which is 1,850 rounded off less space? They have no answer and could care less. I am in the process of suing them.

You got a like, a subscriber and a buzzer on from an old guy. TNice tutorials is the best soft soft tutorial I've seen so far. You covered a lot of

after a couple years of no updates i couldnt use windows 10 anymore, you saved me bro. Secure erase and reinstall did the trick.

This is not free!!! I installed the windows, but it’s asking still the product key!!!

We've already had an exchange about this. You told your followers in this video s that there is nothing illegal about this. Be very careful giving legal advice. I say this because I like you, enjoy your videos, and do not want you to get in trouble.

what do i do if i have windows 7 already installed on my laptop. I already followed your step and have windows 10 on my flash drive so what do i do from here because i don't have a boot up screen or anything like that.

If you want to run unlicensed, DON'T connect to the internet until you've setup everything like you like it. Basically you can't change things like display after it knows it's unlicensed, ie, not everything is available. The online keys are good, YesTechCity advertises them and actually rang MS and they said they are fine.
