To install Windows 10 on a laptop or PC, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Obtain a Windows 10 Installation Media
You'll need a Windows 10 installation media (either a USB drive or a DVD with the Windows 10 installation files). You can create one using the official Windows Media Creation Tool, which is available from the Microsoft website. Here's how to do it:
1. Go to the [Microsoft website]
2. Download the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool.
3. Run the tool and follow the on-screen instructions to create a bootable USB drive or download an ISO file for burning to a DVD.

1. Insert the bootable USB drive or DVD into your laptop or PC.
2. Restart your laptop or PC.
3. During the startup process, look for an option to enter the boot menu or BIOS settings. This key varies depending on your laptop or motherboard manufacturer (common keys include F2, F12, ESC, or Delete). Press the appropriate key to access the boot menu or BIOS.
4. In the boot menu or BIOS, select the installation media as the boot device. Save your changes and exit.
Step 3: Install Windows 10

4. Read and accept the license terms and click "Next."
5. Choose "Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)."
6. Select the partition where you want to install Windows 10. If you're not sure, you can typically select the largest partition. Click "Next."
7. The installation process will begin. Your computer will restart several times during this process.
8. After the installation is complete, follow the on-screen prompts to personalize your settings, create or sign in with a Microsoft account, and set up your preferences.
