Pick the appropriate edition for your product key and stick with bit variants unless you absolutely require bit for legacy reasons. Picking the right media type on the next screen is less obvious than it seems, as there are merits to both direct USB installer creation and the more flexible Win10 ISO images. The flash drive method is usually the best way to go, but if your system has problems booting with them, there are speedy alternatives using the ISO and third party utilities like Rufus , which offers a wider variety of options for creating bootable USB media.
The ISO version also comes in handy when installing Windows 10 to a virtual machine for a test drive using software like VirtualBox. While the installer itself is less than 5 GB, the extra space will come in handy for the next step. For now, the media creation tool will format the flash drive, download and transfer the installer, and make the USB bootable. The first use for that extra space is a folder housing all the drivers for the motherboard, graphics card and whatever other components you have installed, along with a few choice utilities to keep handy on any system.
Avoid using any drivers that shipped with your hardware, and download the newest version from the manufacturer instead. Windows 11 Mute Keyboard Shortcut. Edge Buy Now Pay Later. Windows 10 November Update. Apple Self Service Repair.

Once Ubisoft Connect opens, it then uses those files to install your game for you. If the installer files have not been removed, you should be safe to remove them manually. Not everything new is automatically good: That mouse and keyboard that came with your new desktop PC system should be considered suspect.
PC vendors aren't known for including highly ergonomic or well-built input devices. Consider instead the something from our collection of best wireless keyboards , or best mechanical keyboards. For those still new to the work-at-home world, consider an ergonomic keyboard and mouse , even if your new PC is a laptop, especially one you don't move around much. Your wrists will thank you later. It's no guarantee of great technical support, but if you register your PC with the manufacturer, as well as register the software and peripherals with their respective creators, you stand a better chance of being recognized when the time does come to call for help—and that time will come.
Getting a vendor to honor a warranty frequently depends on knowing when you bought or received the product. It's smart to be registered in case there's a recall—you don't want to be the only person walking around with a laptop battery that might catch on fire, do you? It's also smart to purchase your new PC with a credit card that offers its own extended warranty option, because the extended warranty from the reseller is typically not worth it. Registering online is relatively painless.
One downside is that registration can also put your name on endless mailing lists, so if that bothers you, deselect that option when signing up or create a special email address you can use to filter them. For example, Gmail users can stick a random period in the first part of their address such as your.
You can probably put your old PC to some kind of good use. Turn it into something new a Linux workstation! A home server! A hotspot! No matter what, sanitize that hard drive before you pass it on. At the very least, format the drive s before recycling the old PC. If you're sending it off with Windows 10, do the full factory reset to the original, out-of-the-box settings. If you're extra paranoid, formatting isn't enough to be percent certain your old data on a drive is completely unrecoverable.
There's always the Swiss cheese option: Take the drive out to the workshop and drill holes through it. Bullet holes will accomplish the same thing, but that's overkill, even for your data. Did you grab a new computer on Prime Day or have one on your holiday wish list?
