Windows 11 is the latest operating system from Microsoft, and with its official release, it has become one of the most anticipated updates in recent memory. If you’re a tech enthusiast or just someone who values convenience, installing Windows 11 on your computer might be an attractive option. In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of installing Windows 11 using your downloaded ISO file.
Prerequisites:
Before we dive into the installation process, make sure you have the following:
- A compatible PC that meets the system requirements for Windows 11
- Your downloaded ISO file for Windows 11 (downloaded from Microsoft’s official website or other reputable sources)
- A legitimate copy of Windows 10 (this is optional but recommended)
Step 1: Prepare your PC
Before installing Windows 11, ensure your computer meets the minimum system requirements:
- CPU: Intel Core i5-2400 or AMD equivalent
- RAM: 8 GB or more
- Storage: 64 GB or more of free space (including .NET Framework 4.7.2)
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 480
If your PC doesn’t meet these requirements, you might need to upgrade or downgrade its components before proceeding.
Step 2: Create a bootable USB drive
To start the installation process, you’ll need to create a bootable USB drive using Rufus (a popular disk imaging tool). Here’s how:
- Download and install Rufus on your computer.
- Launch Rufus and select the ISO file for Windows 11.
- Choose the “USB” option as the boot device.
- Select the drive letter where you want to create a bootable USB drive (usually E or F).
- Set the image options according to your needs.
Step 3: Boot from the USB drive and install
Now it’s time to start the installation process:
- Insert your USB drive into the port labeled USB on your motherboard.
- Restart your computer and enter the BIOS settings (usually by pressing F2, F12, or Del).
- Set the USB drive as the first boot device in the BIOS settings.
- Save the changes and exit the BIOS settings.
- Your computer should now boot from the USB drive.
Step 4: Follow the installation prompts
The installation process will begin, and you’ll be presented with a series of options:
- Enter your Product Key (if prompted)
- Select your language
- Choose the Installation Type (Custom or Media)
- Accept the license agreement
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete each step. If you encounter any issues during this process, don’t worry – it’s normal.
Step 5: Activate Windows 11
Once the installation is complete, you’ll be prompted to activate your new operating system:
- Enter your Product Key (if prompted)
- Select your language
- Choose whether to activate from a USB drive or an online activation page
If you choose to activate online, follow the instructions on the Microsoft website to register and activate Windows 11.
Congratulations! You’ve installed Windows 11
With these steps completed, you should now have Windows 11 installed on your computer. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, feel free to reach out for assistance.
