Use this option and download Media Creation Tool if you want to create bootable USB media to perform a clean install on new or existing hardware. To get started you first need a license to install Windows 11 or have a Windows 10 device that qualifies for an upgrade to Windows 11.
To get started, you will first need to have a license to install Windows 11. You can then download and run the media creation tool. For more information on how to use the tool, see the instructions below.
If you are installing Windows 10 on a PC running Windows XP or Windows Vista, or if you need to create installation media to install Windows 10 on a different PC, see Using the tool to create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) to install Windows 10 on a different PC section below.
Note: Before you install Windows 10, check to make sure your PC meets the system requirements for Windows 10. We also recommend going to the PC manufacturer's website for any additional info about updated drivers and hardware compatibility.
After downloading and installing, the tool will walk you through how to set up Windows 10 on your PC. All Windows 10 editions are available when you select Windows 10,except for Enterprise edition. For more information on Enterprise edition,go to the Volume Licensing Service Center.
If you have Office 2010 or earlier and choose to perform a clean install of Windows 10, you will need to locate your Office product key. For tips on locating your product key, check Find your Office 2010 product key or Enter the product key for your Office 2007 program.
If your PC does not automatically boot to the USB or DVD media, you might have to open a boot menu or change the boot order in your PC's BIOS or UEFI settings. To open a boot menu or change the boot order, you'll typically need to press a key (such as F2, F12, Delete, or Esc) immediately after you turn on your PC. For instructions on accessing the boot menu or changing the boot order for your PC, check the documentation that came with your PC or go to the manufacturer's website. If you do not see the USB or DVD media device listed within the boot options, you may need to reach out to the PC manufacturer for instructions for temporarily disabling Secure Boot in your BIOS settings.
If changing the boot menu or order doesn't work, and your PC immediately boots into the OS you want to replace, it is possible the PC had not fully shut down. To ensure the PC fully shuts down, select the power button on the sign-in screen or on the Start menu and select Shut down.
If you downloaded an ISO file for Windows 10, the file is saved locally at the location you selected. If you have a third-party DVD burning program installed on your computer that you prefer to use for creating the installation DVD, that program might open by going to the location where the file is saved and double-clicking the ISO file, or right-click the ISO file, select Open with and choose your preferred DVD burning software.
If you want to use the Windows Disk Image Burner to create an installation DVD, go to the location where the ISO file is saved. Right-click the ISO file and select Properties. On the General tab, click Change and select Windows Explorer for the program you would like to use to open ISO files and select Apply. Then right-click the ISO file and select Burn disc image.
If you want to install Windows 10 directly from the ISO file without using a DVD or flash drive, you can do so by mounting the ISO file. This will perform an upgrade of your current operating system to Windows 10.
The first thing to do when getting ready to install anything is to run Windows Update. I go to Control Panel/Security and run Windows Update (after using Windows 8 for so long, this seems a bit strange). I am lucky the old laptop is basically up-to-date, and it only needs to install a single update as shown here.
When I am finished running Windows Update, I reboot the computer (even if it does not specifically request a reboot) because often laptops hibernate (or sleep0, and they go for weeks without a proper reboot.
Windows PowerShell 3.0 requires.NET Framework 4.0. If I do not install it first, and I try to install Windows PowerShell 3.0 without.NET Framework 4.0, a rather generic error appears: This update does not apply to your system. It is safest to install .NET Framework 4.0.
The easiest way to find the Windows PowerShell 3.0 download package is to access it directly from the Microsoft TechNet Script Center. I have a link to Windows PowerShell 3.0 under the Downloads section as shown in the following screenshot.
In determining which version of the package to download, I also need to know the version of computer I have (for example, is it 64-bit or x86). I get this information from Windows PowerShell. The command I use is:
After I know the version of the download package to obtain, I click the big red download button, and I am presented with a check box to select the version. I do this, click Next, and then tell it to run (rather than download and Save).
When the installation completes, it requests a reboot. Following the reboot, Windows does a bit of configuration that will take a couple of minutes. The following screen displays during the configuration.
Following the reboot, I sign in, and I want to immediately see if it worked. The first thing I do is open the Windows PowerShell console and type $psversiontable. The following data returns:
Well, the Scripting Guys booth looks cool, and I think it is time to head to the French Quarter and catch up with some PowerShell Tweeps. TechEd kicks off tomorrow bright and early, and it will be awesome! Hope to see you there.
I invite you to follow me on Twitter and Facebook. If you have any questions, send email to me at scri...@microsoft.com, or post your questions on the Official Scripting Guys Forum. See you tomorrow. Until then, peace.
I have an older PC with a CPU that's not officially supported by Windows 11 according to Microsoft's hardware requirements. Despite this, I've heard that there are ways to bypass these restrictions and install Windows 11 anyway. Can someone explain how it might be possible to install Windows 11 on an unsupported CPU? Are there specific tools or methods that need to be used to accomplish this, and what are the potential risks or limitations involved in doing so? Additionally, if successful, what should I be aware of in terms of updates and security for running Windows 11 on unsupported hardware?
Lastly, check the Windows 11 bypass option under the USB name. And start extracting and copying Windows 11 ISO to USB. At the time, the registry entry for checking Windows 11 system requirements will be ignored. So you can install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware.
Once downloaded, it appears to install normally and asks for my login details and which folders to sync. Then it closes and I can no longer access the desktop app interface. Clicking on the app icon opens only the File Explorer window whereas I was expecting a separate app interface. There are no error messages.

Hi Jay, thanks for this. Yes am clicking on that icon - and the good news is that since I put this post up I tried one last reinstall, and now it seems to work! At least, clicking on the icon opens a window with sync history / activity tabs and the option to change preferences etc via my circle on the top right. I guess this is the desktop app?
Hi, I have the same issue (Dropbox not starting) (I'm on Windows 11) - I've done all the checks described here including uninstalling and reinstalling Dropbox 4 times. In my case, after installing dropbox, I never even get to the point that it asks me to sign in. It just blanks on me and does not appear either in the tray (in the task manager, dropbox does appear on the list but when I right click on the icon to see the properties it says DropboxCrashHandler).
