Booting to the Windows 10 Installer
1.

Make sure your Windows 10 installation media is connected. In order for you to
install Windows 10, your Windows 10 installation file must be loaded onto a disc or
flash drive, and the disc or flash drive must be inserted into your computer.
 If you haven't yet downloaded the Windows 10 installation tool, follow
the instructions from this Microsoft support
page: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

screen, or press the ⊞  Win  key.

Click the power icon. This is the circle with a line through its top that's in the bottom-

Click Restart. It's in the pop-up menu above the power icon. Doing so will restart your
computer.

Press and hold  Del  or  F2  to enter setup. This key may also be a different key—
most computers will display a message on startup that says "Press [key] to enter setup"
or something similar, so look for this message when your computer restarts to confirm
the key you should press to access the BIOS.
 Consult your computer's manual or online support page to confirm your
computer's BIOS key.

Navigate to the Boot tab. You'll use the arrow keys to select it.

computer's manufacturer.

Devices or CD-ROM Drive is at the top of the list, your computer will select your
choice as its default boot option.

keys (e.g.,  F5 ) to navigate an option up to the top of the menu. The
key will be listed on the right side of the screen.

Save your settings. You should see a key prompt (e.g.,  F10 ) at the bottom of the
screen that correlates to "Save and Exit"; pressing it should save your settings and
restart your computer.

Windows 10 installation.
