The most standard way to install Windows using USB Boot |
This is the way I usually install, so I share it with everyone. There are many ways on the Internet, but I think you should use this way to install Windows most stably and correctly.
Step 1: Prepare USB Boot
You need to prepare a USB with a minimum memory capacity of 4GB or more (for Windows 10 32-bit), and for the 64-bit version, I recommend 8GB or more because most computers now run 64-bit, 32-bit is no longer popular.
Step 2: Prepare the Windows installation ISO file
You go to Microsoft's official Windows download page to download the installation iso file ( Microsoft's official Windows download page ). There are 2 ways to download the file.
Method 1: Download the Media Creation Tool . Look for the "Create Windows 10 installation media" section, click the Download Now button .Run the downloaded file, click Accept to agree to the agreement.Here, we choose Create installation media for the tool to create the iso file.Select Windows 10 version (32bit or 64bit), installation language,... or you can leave it as it is, then click Next .

on the keyboard to open the Develop Tool, then press the key combination Ctrl+Shift+M
to convert the web to Mobile, reload the page as shown below, select the correct version and press Confirm step by step and download the file.Step 3: Create Boot for USB
Next in this step, after having the USB, the official ISO file to install Windows from the home page, we proceed to create a boot for the USB. "Create a boot or can create a boot, load boot information for Windows to fix problems or to install Windows."You proceed to download a tool called Rufus - its function is to create a boot for USB instead of using the Microsoft tool above, link here . You can rest assured to download the latest version that their website provides, they provide us with full versions including portable versions (non-installed versions) so downloading is up to you, and pay attention to 32bit or 64 bit to suit your computer.
You open the Rufus file you just downloaded.
- In the Device section , select the USB that you will create boot from, so be careful to select the correct device and copy all data.
- In the Boot selection section , you select the Windows.iso iso file created in the step above (press SELECT to find it).
- Partition scheme is to choose the type of hard drive partition you want to create, for example the image above is my computer using UEFI standard, hard drive format is GPT so I choose like that. If you have not determined, please see the article below I suggest.

- The process is fully automatic.
When the computer automatically restarts, remove the USB so that the computer can automatically reboot the hard drive. After running for a while, this step is called OOBE, you perform the steps below.
