The world would be much better if every video on YouTube had sound quality like this!

5 years later and this video is still the most useful, easiest, straight to the point and very descriptive and detailed. Thank you sir!
PS! I had to get my product key from the registry instead, the VBS gave me a completely different key but I found the actual key in the Registry.

He deserves so much more likes for all the time he put into this.

Just to add, I recommend keeping the USB media with the windows files after installation because it can be used as a maintenance utility if you ever need to repair your operating system. Great video.

I don’t know if this is even gonna be seen, but I’ll try to help someone out. I was recently reinstalling windows myself for the fist time, and after the first attempt I got an error that said something like “your computer needs recovery”. I got worried af, but tried to repeat the process and after 3 tries it worked. It installed and i tried to use the system. As soon as I plugged out the usb and restarted it showed the same error. I ended up doing the same exact process for the 4th time, and it finally actually worked. I don’t really have specific advices for people who experience the same, but something I learned for myself. Ideally have another windows pc to use in case the usb installation gets damaged so you can remake it. And try several times before going and remaking the installation. Writing this for some people to know, that there’s probably a decent chance this won’t go 100% as it should, so be ready for all of these things and don’t panic.

This was the clearest video on YouTube to showcase this in the most simple, understandable way. Got my PC up and running again, so thank you!

I appreciate so much that you included a hot tip for how to look up the product key of the device! Now it's one less worry if the system doesn't activate the product automatically. Thank you so much!

Very nice tutorial. Very quick and to the point (unlike most tutorials) as well as different methods

[beefsteaktv]

I wonder why people like you teaching the real thing doesn't have too many subs:<

[hey.dreamer]

Literally one of the cleanest and helpful tutorials out there. Great job man.

Just a little something that might help someone:
In my case, the setup process was reappearing after the restart. So I removed the USB drive as soon as it restarted, and it moved smoothly with the further setup process.

I did successfully install Windows 10 home on my dell N5110. Faced issue initially for some time, after an hour everything went well & installed windows 10 finally. Its working good and I'm satisfied 😇
