I am giving away a limited edition kit of DDR5 RAM to one person who comments on my newest video here: th-cam.com/video/2astCrBO1w0/w-d-xo.html I will be picking the winner on April 29th, and thank you for the continued support. I really want to try and do more giveaways to give back to you all!
Would it still work if my PC windows copy is not authentic?
Do you need tpm and Uefi with raid on the uefi enabled?.
Can you give me ddr3 8gb stick
My motherboard is ddr3
@@joaquimmatabelejr3074Ik it’s very late and u probably found your answer but yes because u don’t need a product key personally I used a business key I found online for free and use command prompt to activate windows instead of paying nearly £150
"Free"
**Activate Windows entered the chat**
Its not a maaasive problem
You can always remove that, the keyword is can, but just buy it lmao it's like $2 for windows pro edition
@@shame1039 more like 30
@@sockSandals many places can give you a key for as little as $10-$15 or you know, just use a crack tool from a reputable place.

“How to install windows on your new pc:” “first get another pc”
Linux!
Hahahaha yeah. But you can always go and borrow someone's pc just to download the OS.
Yh it so fucking annoying
You could bring the thumbdrive to a library and download to it from one of their computers
It’s annoying but tbh I’d be pretty surprised if you were building a custom PC without ever having owned a computer before
Safely eject a USB drive? Ain't nobody got time for that.
💀
especially when u got a hdd and 4 gb ram fr, shit takes minutes to open
Bro so many of my usb devices corrupted because i didnt safely eject
You actually don't need to do that anymore, if your computer is updated you shouldn't have to as newer computers auto save and don't need to be ejected.
@@completeandabsolutenerd Yeah kind of like how any vehicle created after 1997 doesn't need oil because they're updated and autofill themselves with oil so they don't need you to add it anymore. Technology is awesome!
Just a quick tip for everyone that might do this, if you don't see the windows setup screen just reboot your pc into the BIOS (or boot options if you know how) and from there choose the USB flash drive as the 1. drive and THEN the SDD,HDD etc or else the pc will just boot from its normal drive (most of the pcs get into the BIOS with the delete,f7 or f3 key it changes from pc to pc you have to look that up yourselves)
other than that have a nice day ✌🏻
Where can I buy windows 10 usb? Someone give me an Amazon link or something? 😅 Honestly I want to make sure I buying the correct thing. Is that possible? I don't know honestly.. 🤷🏻♂️
@@brycegoude989 any usb over 8gb should work fine
What?
you dont buy a windows usb, you just download windows files online and put them on one, any USB will work.@@brycegoude989
If it's a new build you may hit a wall where windows tells you you need a network to continue the install 😢but depending on your new mother board if doesn't have drivers for wif u won't be able to continue.. press shift+F10 a command prompt opens type oobe/bypass to it will allow u to install windows without a network
Guys, a key bit of info he missed is that Windows will wipe your data on that usb drive, so just make sure your data is saved
how to save your data?
@@starboypg3d742 use another usb i guess
I just got this pc that I'm giving to my grandparents advertised as "windows 10" but it has no os. I was about to spend 100 dollars and this showed up. So helpful
If you don't buy a license for windows it will be very limited. I recommend buying a code off of G2A. I got windows 10 pro for $25 CAD.
@@elgronte2521 did it work perfectly fine? I really don’t know what the keys do besides put windows on ur computer or something, I’m building my first pc soon and this is probably the most confusing thing to me but I’m most likely overthinking it, any help?
@@aidyns3703 the keys don't put widows on your computer. Keys let you use all of Windows features. If you don't get a product key windows will be very restricted and lock you out of some important features. And yes buying a product key off of G2A for like $20-$40 really works, a product key is basically just a gift card.
@ FastestOfFast, No need to buy product key, only thing limited is that you can't customise wallpaper and stuff but all the daily stuff will work just fine. Use that money for something else. Also if you have an old windows 7/8/8.1 product key, it'll work just fine on windows 10 or 11. Don't mind the advertiser in comments. Hope it helped, have a nice day :)
@@TheNpcNoob thats risky though
Me: *knows exactly how to do this*
Also Me: *watches this video anyway*
I appreciate it ❤️
Bro why isn't he using Rufus software? This really works?
@AWESOME STUFF
Not sure if Rufus and Windows work well together, or maybe because this removes an extra step that most people really don't need.
@@user9267 works fine you can even skip OOBE with Rufus
Also the free part does not include the product key still needed lul
@AllesanddroLP
Yep I've used it since and I CAN NEVER GO BACK TO THE OFFICIAL TOOL
I watched nearly an hour of other videos to learn what you just made more simple in under one minute. Bravo good Sir.
It's fun and games when you need to give it drivers just to find your drive
The mainboard usb's should work out of the box, I guess some cases might need a driver
@@a.b.c.d.e... I'm on a laptop but yeah the usb worked fine even the thunderbolt 4 port in usb mode dont have anything thunderbolt to plug in but ik that wont work out of the box unless its linux storage didnt work right out of the box on windows but linux it did
Never had this problem, all you do is plug your USB adapters into the right slots and it should show up, idk about all pcs but for the most part it shouldn't matter
@@Mmarules unfortunately it can happen on some computers. You can go to use the usb to reinstall windows and it can't find the drives. Becomes the best task to then the drivers to use. From my experience it can also brick the trackpad drivers so only the keyboard works. Love windows some times 😅
@@staticziao linux supports everything in existence, i've plugged some obscure shit into a linux pc before and it literally just worked lol
Love it. Guides out there can be up to 20min long with the same information. This was fast and to the point 🙂
Just for some extra information: 8gb is doable but 16 gb is advisable. Custom download is for “clean OS install” and no it’s not free, you either need to give in the authentication code that’s embedded to the motherboard or just give a legit authentication code during or after OS install.
If you had windows activated on another system, you can link that activated key to your microsoft account and you wont need to buy a new Windows key. Just click the skip option at the activation screen on your new build and load into your desktop. Then open your settings and go to "Account" and sign into your microsoft account. You should now see the option to activate windows from the key you had linked. Thats if it doesnt do it automatically.
Edit: rewritten for clarity
Thanks for the info
how do you install windows if you don't have a second pc to install it off of?
@@ryansloyer You can also buy a Windows key with the installer or flash it on a USB using devices that don't run Windows. If you search for Windows install on something other than a Windows device, it will show the option to download the ISO file. Then you can use that file to burn it onto CD's or a USB using software like Balena Etcher or Rufus.
I don't think you need to activate tho
Thank you nathaniel
I watched this more than 30. Times and I finally understood
I watched you're comment for 30 seconds

Top tip for free windows keys. Just use a Windows key from your Windows 7, Windows 8 machine. They work and you can use keys from even older ones! Like XP etc.
Brother could you tell me one thing kindly. I bought a Hp PC recently. And It's giving me headaches every now and then. In my previous PC I could install windows through any DVD any flash.... In this PC it doesn't work on DVD....and also if u put Flash drive you have to put it in specific slot to make it work.
@@lionslife777 You might have to enable boot from DVD through bios. No idea why your windows usb isn't working on all ports
@@Oktheorignal I see. Thx. I'll try it
@@Oktheorignal I want to ask more questions. It will refresh your knowledge too n I'll learn something too 😊... Like My Hp PC has a power supplier that doesn't have a pin connector to GPU I have. My GPU is quite old but it runs games like Skyrim....and say Unturned...and like Black flag 4.......Now what's your opinion. Is there any way I can connect it ? And If I have to buy another... Do all these PSU come in same size? My current power supplier is perfectly fitted in. If I buy another it might be too big or too small.... Or they all same?
you should make 2 partitions. half for partition 1, and another half for partition 2. this is so that you can reinstall windows in your first partition while keeping your data in the second partition
Suggestions: usually m.2 aren't recognised so I'd suggest disconnecting other drives and keep only m.2
After installation, connect other drives
You can copy RST VMD Drivers on USB drive. Then load the drivers during Win install
And remember to remove the flash drive or change the boot options when it's done if you've selected the flash drive as the main boot device. Otherwise you'll just loop.
When to remove
@@rakeshappu1938 after installation is complete.
@@EGoRBHD130after it says finishing up ?
@@StepOfficialY5 After yes. Otherwise it will continue to boot from the installation device and it will look like windows keeps reinstalling itself.
Yeah quite a few people have been having this problem, I didn’t put it in the video because to be honest didn’t think it was necessary but future videos I will be sure to elaborate 100%!
I've spent so much time watching videos, but I'm still confused! Your explanation really helped me understand the topic better. Thank you so much!
Omg! Thank you so much for keeping it simple! 😊
You still need a windows product key for the full OS. You won’t be able to customize your setup and most other features will be gone. You will also have a watermark.
I mean, just use hwidgen, it's quick, it's easy and it's free!
Without activation you get full OS. Everything you can't do is customize your PC. And you get watermark. That's all.
You got some amazing videos keep it up
Thank you that means a lot, going to be putting out more long form factor traditional youtube videos again soon but been really pressed on time. Hope to see you stick around!
@@YourPersonalGeek i will stay around i promise
@@Dannymainy still here?
Thank you I tried seeing every other channel I did understand them but you made it clear
@euclid don’t be so dense, there’s people who aren’t as skilled in electronics
Thank you so much I’m getting a new pc soon and I was so confused with all of these 20 minute videos containing the same info as this just much more complicated but this one helped me the most
Me with Windows XP :🗿
For free? Your still going to have to buy it to have all the features
the only extra features are the customizability options
Try kms if you want free windows activation
@@celery7810 all this trouble, for wallpaper
Just install a windows activator,i don't know how to find it in english sites,but in my country piracy is legall so it's a simple search
@@mahbodtp1427 well in the US it’s a serious crime so if you’re doing that in the US (or any other country where there are piracy laws), don’t let the FBi watch you
I love shorts bc this could’ve been a 10mn video with ads at the beginning middle and end, but instead it’s a 45s short.
That’s kind of why I like them, it can be difficult to fit all the necessary information though into a 1 minute video
Just subscribed, thanks for the quick tutorial
fun fact: Your windows will officially activated if you use Windows media creation tool
and if you then sign in your account into that, next time if you install windows by using the official image file they provide in their website...if you login with the same account it will automatically activate your windows 💁🏻♂️💁🏻♂️
Could you please explain what you mean
Punctuation please I didn’t understand any of what you said lmao
@@GrabbaBeer nothing serious. ignore it
I have the exact same thumb drive lol
Oh snap! Christian bale with the gaming pc builds
First time school laptop came in clutch
I have shared your videos in social media. It is refreshing to see someone not using clickbaits in the thumbnails videos while the video is short and does exactly what the title says.
I mean your thumbnail had your mustache and I saw a mustache, I am satisfied!
The mustache Is working its magic I see 😅 thank you for sharing the videos!
If I do this would I have to buy a windows key again?
Thank you so much!
Instructions unclear: my gaming pc installed windows vista
Just looking for that free part.
kms command line activation?
@@NenemonYeah that one
Lol just get a friend with a pc to give you it
Fun fact: you can do this same thing via an android phone too just incase you don’t have another pc
Throw some more please xD

thank you i did no research before i made my pc so this really helped
I was trying to fix that 2 hours you just made my day ❤
Remember friends, if you buy a new laptop, do a fresh windows install so you get rid of all the junk software that will come with it!
The only part you skipped over is the entire part I need help with
Thx for the tip
I cant believe people actually have paid for windows, I have never once paid for windows, and never had any issues.
You should make a video about how to use a gaming mouse. Tips, tricks, techniques, thoughts and opinions. It would be helpful for people like me who game but suck.
so you're asking how to be better? just practice the game lmao, experiment with your sensitivity and play a lot
If you keep like this.. u will never be better at anything..experiment yourself and find out what’s the best for you
Hey Johnny what are you doing here..
& What's with the mustache ?? 😆
i love you! thank you for this video!
This helps so much chars pal
Tip: if you have multiple drives its easier to just connect your os drive, install windows and then connect your other drives. This eliminates the chance of windows installing files in another drive.
that's what i do
If you have a motherboard with a UEFI, make sure your drives partition scheme is set to GPT. MBR is for legacy BIOS systems
Hey man how do I do that

This trick has saved me more than once.
Ya' forgot the license key.

“activate windows”
yh the water mark sucks but some times it doesn’t show up
pirate it
And that's how you can save your time watching this short. Thanks mate.
@Akash dhasmana you have to make your usb drive bootable first
some tips:
Don't to connect internet while installing, only then you will get the option to make a local account without a Microsoft account.
Before you connect to the internet, you can still use the personalization settings as Windows won't yet recognize you don't have a license.
When it asks you for a password, leave it blank to skip it. You can add a password later without having to setup security questions.
Can u do this to a pc that u install it from and take it out and put it back in the same pc
Assuming I read your question correctly, yes that is possible. You would need to tell it to boot from usb instead of the regular drive.
Shall I be able to format the pendrive after windows installation
Yes
If you guys get the message “free up space. Try again” free up space on your main hard drive or nvme then the usb option will pop up. It took me a while to figure this out…
Appreciate you my guy
When I tried to download windows it told me I needed a license, so how do I get windows without paying for a license?
Thank you for taking the time to teach us, best wishes🤩
Make sure when you’re installing it you don’t have the Ethernet cable plugged in you need to be offline
Crack bro crack😂

Doing exactly the same thing and already have it repeat itself 4 times … idk what’s going wrong upon 100% says restart on 10,9,8… then the same procedure appears… any idea ?
No actually that is super strange I’m not sure I have an answer for that….installing on an SSD or Hard drive?
yea happened with me to lol before it restarts you quickly have to remove the pendrive/DvD drive
I also have the same problem
Because you have booted upon your pendrive..just remove the pendrive or change the boot 1 to hdd/ssd
