Can I install a fresh copy of Windows 10 for free on a new PC?

answer

Installing a fresh copy of Windows 10 for free on a new PC is possible, but there are certain requirements. First, you must have a valid Windows 10 license. This can be a retail license, an OEM license, or a volume license.

If you have a retail license, you can install Windows 10 on any compatible PC. All you need to do is download the Windows 10 installation media from Microsoft, create a bootable installation media, and then install Windows 10 on the PC.

If you have an OEM license, it is tied to the PC it was originally installed on. You cannot transfer the license to another PC. However, you can use the recovery media from the OEM to install a fresh copy of Windows 10 on the new PC.

If you have a volume license, you can use it to install Windows 10 on any compatible PC. You will need to download the Windows 10 installation media from Microsoft and create a bootable installation media. Then, you will need to enter the volume license key when prompted during the setup process.

Once you have downloaded the installation media, you can create a bootable installation media using either a USB flash drive or a DVD. You can use the Windows USB/DVD Download Tool to create a bootable installation media.

Once you have created the bootable installation media, you can then boot to it and begin the installation process. During the installation process, you will be prompted to enter the product key. If you have a retail license, you can enter the product key. If you have an OEM license, you will not need to enter a product key. If you have a volume license, you can enter the volume license key.

Once the installation process is complete, Windows 10 is installed and ready to use. You may need to activate Windows 10 by entering the product key, if you have a retail license or volume license. If you have an OEM license, Windows 10 should activate automatically.

In summary, it is possible to install a fresh copy of Windows 10 for free on a new PC, provided you have a valid Windows 10 license. If you have a retail license, you can download the installation media from Microsoft and create a bootable installation media. If you have an OEM license, you can use the recovery media from the OEM. If you have a volume license, you can download the installation media from Microsoft and create a bootable installation media. Once the installation process is complete, you may need to activate Windows 10 with the product key.
