There are several ways you can do this, but we recommend using Media Creation Tool, which would download and install files from Microsoft Server directly. Before proceeding, disable or uninstall third-party security software and disconnect any unnecessary peripherals, such as printers. Also, for the best result, we recommend copying all personal files from the main drive and wiping them all instead of keeping them.
- Visit the official Microsoft website and download Windows 10 installation media (Windows 11 version).
- Double-click the installer and select Yes when the User Account Control (UAC) prompt appears.

- In the BIOS, go to the Boot section and set the boot priority to Flash drive.
- Restart the system.
