"Installing" windows

Vod

Hello!

So I'll be building a new pc, but I don't know how to "install" windows.

I know I need a usb drive and I'll need to download something and put it on the usb and when I open the bios I can open the usb drive and install windows. (not compleatly sure tho)
I'll be buying an windows 10 pro key.

But I don't know what to download, where to download and will I have to enter the windows 10 pro key when I load up windows or I can put it on the windows installer so when I get into the bios It will automaticly download windows 10 pro.

The reason I'm asking in here is because I couldn't find any answers to those questions on youtube or google.

 

(Btw, sorry for the "misleading" title, I didn't know what to type in, I'm foreign somy English isn't that good)

You download it here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

You put it on a USB drive (you have multiple options on where to install it in the  software.. It's quite self explanatory). You don't have to choose whether you want Pro or Home, that is something Windows addresses itself in the installation on your new PC

You insert the USB drive on your new PC and in the BIOS set it to start up from your USB drive first

You run the program that opens once you reboot your system, be sure to choose the right drive to install Windows 10

Wait some and it's installed.

Now setting Windows up is ez too, just choose the language you want, disable all tracking and telemetry stuff and proceed to where it asks you for key (which in theory you could skip) and after that you are on the desktop. Go to the check for updates thing and do the updates you want to do.

 

And that's basically it. It sounds more complicated than it really is.
