When you plan to create a Windows 10 installation media (USB or DVD), pay attention to the following key points to ensure a smooth and successful installation:
1. System Requirements
Verify that your PC meets the minimum requirements for Windows 10:
- Processor: 1 GHz or faster
- RAM: 1 GB (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)
- Storage: 32 GB or more
- Graphics: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver
- Display: 800×600 resolution or higher
2. Download the Correct Windows 10 Version
- Use the official Microsoft Media Creation Tool (download here) to avoid malware risks.
- Choose the correct edition (Home, Pro, Education, etc.).
- Select the right architecture (32-bit or 64-bit) based on your system.
- Ensure the language matches your preference.
3. USB Drive or DVD Selection
- USB flash drive: At least 8GB (preferably USB 3.0 for faster installation).
- DVD: A blank single-layer (4.7GB) or dual-layer (8.5GB) disc.
- Backup data on the USB/DVD, as it will be erased during creation.
By following these steps carefully, you can create a reliable Windows 10 installation media and avoid common pitfalls. Let me know if you need further clarification!
