Hello everyone, I'm here to ask for some help on installing windows 10 into my new pc. I just finished building it and it's my first one ever. I don't have any other computer besides a Mac which I'm not sure whether or not it will allow me to download it into a usb drive. Is there anything I can do or will I have to go somewhere else to download it. Thank you!

P. S

Parts are:

 Asus b550-f rog strix motherboard

 ryzen 5 3600

Asus strix 3070

Phanteks p400a case

16gb 3600hz ram

Cool! You need another device that can download the ISO and a USB port.

EDIT: DONT Download a USB port! I meant you need another device to put the ISO on

Do a google search for 'Win 10 Pro download' click the shop links that are selling just the keys at low prices, they are legit and will not just sell you a working key, but information on how to download a copy as well.

Or you can buy a USB and key from one of the two major online places for a bit more cash like I did.

What I would avoid doing is buying one of those OS that sell at x5 the price. I really have no idea why they still do this when legit keys sell at far lower prices.

 

I've not linked the site as one of LTT  YouTube 'competitors' has one sponsoring them, so to do so might be a breach of forum rules?

Get it directly from Microsoft. Dont go to any 3rd party sites for the installer. If you want to go to a 3rd party site for a Windows key, thats fine, but I would NEVER download the Windows installer / ISO from any other site than Microsoft.com 

 

Im on a Mac and it does allow me to download the Windows ISO. You will need software to put that on a bootable USB, but Im sure someone here could recommend something. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
