Should i install windows myself

[Zartog45]

I plan to buy a pc from cyberpower uk should i install windows myself to save money or would it be better to get them to install it so i dont have to mess with anything in the bios.

Install it yourself, they will probably use a pretty bloated windows install.

 

The only thing you would have to set in bios is for the system to boot from the windows usb.

You mean selecting the option to ship the PC without buying Windows from them ?

If so, find out how much you will have to pay for a Windows Home/Pro/Whatever edition retail license first.

 

And I'll just advise this :

If you buy a prebuilt PC, the first thing you do after a "Does it boot" test is to enter BIOS.

Even if it's only for checking whether all that should be turned on/off is as they should be. And if there's any that doesn't, you change it.

From my experience with windows, I can say that you will most likely be able to do the install yourself, since the installer guides you through most of the process. Just make sure USB-Boot is enabled in the BIOS, and the PC will boot from the Installer-Drive automatically when there is no other OS installed.
