1. Download Windows 10 Media Creation Tool from Microsoft (free)

3.  Any Windows version from Windows 7 to Windows 10.
4. An active internet connection

Download the Media Creation tool and run it. The tool will ask you if you want to upgrade the current Windows version or if you want to create installation media. Select the 'Create installation media for another PC option.

Next, choose which edition of Windows you want to create, what language you plan to use Windows in, and whether you want to create the installation media for 32bit, 64bit, or both 32 and 64bit versions.

In the next step, choose whether you want to create a bootable USB or get an ISO file to burn to a DVD. If you choose the USB option, you must have the USB on hand and it should be connected to your PC/laptop.

This tutorial is for a USB flash drive but you can alternatively select ISO option. Save the ISO file on your PC/Laptop and burn it on a DVD once the full ISO has been downloaded.

Once you click on Next, the system will start downloading the Windows version bootable files.

Once the files have downloaded, the tool will automatically start creating the bootable USB. When it completes, your USB is ready for installation. Alternatively, the ISO file will be saved to a location of your choice and you can then burn it to a DVD later.

This process normally takes anywhere from 15-20 minutes, depending on how fast your Internet connection is. Once the Media Creation Tool is finished, you will now be able to create a fresh installation of Windows 10. To do this, simply enter your system's BIOS on startup and boot from your new installation disk.
