 Here are the step-by-step instructions to install Windows 10 on your PC or laptop:

🛠️ What You Need Before Installing

  • A bootable USB/DVD with Windows 10 ISO, or the ISO itself if installing virtually.

  • A valid Windows 10 product key (optional for installation, but needed for activation).

  • A PC that meets minimum requirements:

    • 1 GHz processor or faster

    • 1–2 GB RAM (32/64-bit)

    • 16–20 GB free disk space

  • Backup of important files (if doing a clean install).

💻 Installation Steps

1. Create Bootable Installation Media (if needed)

If you haven't already:

2. Boot from the USB/DVD

  • Insert the USB/DVD into the PC.

  • Restart the PC and open the boot menu (usually F2, F12, ESC, or DEL depending on your device).

  • Select the USB/DVD to boot from.

3. Begin Windows Setup

  • You’ll see the Windows logo and “Loading files”.

  • Choose:

    • Language

    • Time and currency format

    • Keyboard/input method

  • Click Next, then Install now.

4. Enter Product Key

  • Enter your Windows 10 product key (if you have one).

    • If you don't have it, click "I don’t have a product key" (you can activate later).

5. Accept License Agreement

  • Check the box to accept the terms, then click Next.

6. Choose Installation Type

  • Upgrade: Keeps files/settings (if installing from within an older Windows).

  • Custom (advanced): For a clean install. This wipes the selected partition.

7. Partition the Drive

  • Select where to install Windows 10:

    • You can format/delete an existing partition if needed.

    • Select Drive 0 Unallocated Space or your preferred partition and click Next.

    • Caution: Deleting/formating removes data from that partition.

8. Installation Process

  • Windows will begin copying files and installing features. This may take 10–30 minutes.

  • Your PC may reboot several times.

9. Set Up Windows 10

  • After the final restart, Windows will guide you through setup:

    • Choose region, keyboard layout.

    • Choose between personal or organization use.

    • Sign in with a Microsoft account, or create an offline account.

    • Set preferences (privacy settings, Cortana, etc.).

✅ Post-Installation

  • Install missing drivers (Windows usually does this automatically).

  • Connect to Wi-Fi and run Windows Update.

  • Install your apps, restore files, and activate Windows (if you haven’t yet).

Computer architectures

-
  1. Von Neumann Architecture: This is the most common and widely used architecture in modern computers.   It features a single memory space for both instructions and data, accessed through a shared bus.   The CPU fetches instructions and data from this shared memory, processes them, and stores the results back in the same memory.   Example: Desktops, laptops, and smartphones.   2. Harvard Architecture: This architecture uses separate memory spaces for instructions and data.   This separation allows for faster instruction fetching and execution, especially beneficial for applications requiring high performance.   Example: Microcontrollers and embedded systems.   3. RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer): RISC architectures have a smaller set of simpler instructions, leading to faster execution times.   They rely more on hardware for instruction execution, making them more complex to design but also more efficient.   Example: Modern high...
