I bought a 32 gigabyte USB drive at Walmart for only $3, so this shouldn't be very expensive. The ISO file is only about 5 gigabytes, but I recommend you use a USB drive with at least 16 gigabytes of space just in case Windows needs more space during the installation process. Step 2: Insert your USB storage drive into your Mac I also have 16GB of RAM which is a lot more than 4GB, so I'll go for the 64-bit edition. To figure out whether your processor supports 64-bit architecture or not, head over to a website like WikiChip, and search for your processor model.Īs you can see in the screenshot above, my Rysupports 64-bit architecture. 32-bit operating systems have a 4GB RAM limit. If you have a processor that supports 64-bit architecture and you have more than 4GB of RAM, go with the 64-bit one. If you don't know how to decide between 64-bit and 32-bit, here's what you should do. Both links are valid for 24 hours and the page will also show when they expire. Once you've confirmed your language, you'll get two download links, one for the 64-bit edition, and the other one for the 32-bit edition. Pick the one you want and hit the Confirm button. Once you've confirmed your edition, you'll get another drop-down that lets you pick a language. Select your desired edition from that drop-down and hit Confirm.Īt this time, Windows 10 (multi-edition ISO) was the only one available. If you visit the same link from a non-Windows device, such as a Mac or a Linux device or any smartphone, you'll land on the official ISO download page: If you visit the link using a Windows device, you'll be redirected to the Windows Media Creation Tool like this:
You can download Windows 10 directly from Microsoft for free using this link.
That's right - everything we're going to do here is 100% legal and sanctioned by Microsoft. You can download the ISO file straight from Microsoft. In this tutorial we'll show you how you can set this up from a Mac. Luckily, Microsoft makes a tool that you can use to install Windows from a USB storage drive (or "thumbdrive" as they are often called).īut what if you don't have a second PC for setting up that USB storage drive in the first place? So it can be a pain to install Windows on a new computer. Most new PCs don't come with DVD drives anymore.
