case you dont have Windows 10 USB drive, this
tutorial will provide you step by step
instruction involved in creating your own
bootable USB drive of Windows 10.

Things you will require

• Windows 10 ISO Image. If you dont have ISO
• Archiving tools like Winrar and 7-zip
• USB Flash Drive the minimum size is 8GB for
  64-bit version and 4GB for a 32-bit version. You
  can expect good results if you use USB 3.0. It
  will take very less time in installing Windows on
  your machine in comparison of 2.0 USB drives.

Keep in Mind

• If youre running licensed copy of Windows 7 and
  Windows 8.1. Try to upgrade to Windows 10 via
  Windows Update for first time to activate free

  install of Windows 10 without upgrading, the key
  which you will enter during the setup will not
  activate your free copy of Windows 10.
