Title: Step-by-Step Guide: Installing Windows 10 on a New SSD
Introduction: Hello everyone, Simon here! Today, I’m excited to walk you through installing Windows 10 on a brand new SSD drive. In a previous video, I replaced a regular hard drive with an SSD, and now it’s time to get Windows 10 up and running on this new setup.
Essential Tools: Before we start, you’ll need a USB drive with the Windows 10 installer. I’ve made a separate video on how to create this bootable USB drive. (Check the link at the end of this post.)
Installation Process:
- Starting Up: First, turn on your laptop. As it powers up, press the F12 key to enter the boot menu.
- Boot from USB: In the boot menu, select the USB drive (listed as UEFI Sandisk in my case). This will start the Windows setup.
- Windows Setup: Choose your language, time, currency format, and keyboard input method (I used English United States for all). Click ‘Next’ and then ‘Install’.
- License Terms: Read and accept the license terms, then proceed to ‘Custom Install Windows only’.
- Selecting the Drive: Choose the new SSD drive for installation and click ‘Next’. The installation will begin – this might take some time, so be patient.
- Restarting: After the installation completes, restart your computer. You can now remove the USB drive as the computer will boot from the SSD.
- Final Setup: Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the Windows setup. This includes setting up a user account, password, and other preferences. I recommend opting out of syncing with a Microsoft account for privacy reasons.
Conclusion: Installing Windows 10 on a new SSD is a straightforward process that can significantly boost your computer’s performance. With this guide, you should be able to get your system up and running in no time.
