You download the installer from Microsoft and create a bootable USB using the tool here:

Microsoft lets you install windows without buying a license, you can get one later if you want

 

Also be sure to quote us so we see your responses

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

You buy it and install it

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

Not if you pay for a license. Don't worry, the installer won't forget to ask you for money.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

just remember to check in your area, sometimes it's cheaper to buy retail windows from a bricks and mortar store than to buy through the MS store.

Just don't pay (any amount of money) for Windows 10. That's all I'm going to say.
