Windows OS install

how can i check if my windows install worked correctly and there's no issues bugs or problem caused or that will show down the line?

Unfortunately there isn't much of any way to do that other than "just use it!"

 

Do some of your most common activities and make sure they work.

That checks the health of the windows files themselves. Which, 90% of current windows 10 problems are bad drivers and incompatibilities. 

 

A good thing to do, would be get most up-to date drivers for every part of your motherboard.

To check drivers are installed for all your devices you can go into Device Manager and look for any yellow exclamation marks or question marks.

General Windows install or configuration problems may not show up until you've actually used the PC for a while though, so to some extent you're going to have to wait and see...
