How To Install Windows 10 On Lenovo Laptop?
There are two ways to install Windows 10 on your Lenovo laptop – either using an upgrade from an existing Windows installation or a clean install.
If you are upgrading from an existing Windows installation, the process is relatively straightforward. Simply insert the Windows 10 installation media into your computer and follow the prompts.
Once the upgrade is complete, your Lenovo laptop will be running Windows 10.
If you want to perform a clean install of Windows 10, the process is a little more involved. First, you will need to create a bootable USB drive or DVD with the Windows 10 installation media.
Once you have created the bootable media, boot your Lenovo laptop from it and follow the prompts. During the installation process, you will be asked where you want to install Windows 10.
Choose the option to “Delete all partitions on this disk” and select the unallocated space to install Windows 10. Once the installation is complete, your laptop will be running Windows 10.
How To Create A Bootable USB Drive?

Where To Find Windows 10 Installation Files?
If you have a Windows 10 installation DVD or USB drive, you can insert it now and follow the prompts to get started with the installation process.
If you don’t have either of those things, you’ll need to download the Windows 10 ISO file from Microsoft and create your own installation media.
How To Activate Windows 10?
If you’ve never installed an activated Windows 10 on this computer before, you’ll need a valid product key to do so.
If you have a retail license, you can find the 25-character product key on a sticker attached to the packaging that came with your PC.
If you bought a digital copy of Windows 10 from Microsoft, the product key should have been emailed to you. If you have a digital license for Windows 10 Pro, you can enter that product key here as well.
If you upgraded to Windows 10 from an earlier version of Windows and you don’t have a digital license or a product key, your copy of Windows 10 will be activated automatically after connecting to Microsoft’s servers online.
