Installing Windows 10

I am currently using Windows 10 Pro on my desktop, and I am using it satisfactorily. I personally think that Windows 10 is a well-built operating system. If I replace my laptop, I probably am going to buy Windows 10. Anyway, select CD/DVD to connect the downloaded ISO file to the virtual machine. Then select Power on the virtual machine to power on the virtual machine.



When the following screen appears, select the language and keyboard type and press the Next button. Then click Install Now to install Windows OS.


On the Activate Windows screen, select I do not have a product key, and then select the edition you want to install.


After checking the license information, check I accept the license terms. Then click the Next button. For initial installation, select Custom: Install Windows only.


Remember that the virtual disk is where the operating system will be installed. Now click the Next button and the installation will proceed.


When the installation is complete, it reboots automatically and Cortana appears.


Set the region and keyboard layout.


I skipped the second keyboard layout.


I selected Offline account on the Sign in with Microsoft screen.


Create the account to use and set a password and hint.



I chose Decline in the Cortana configuration.


After completing the privacy setting and clicking the Accept button, Windows installation is complete.


After a few moments, you will be able to see the following screen.
