Install Windows 10 using a USB-stick | In 2023

Hi! This is how you download and install a fresh/new copy of Windows 10 in 2023. With fresh copy I here mean that you completely remove everything from your current Windows-installation and the computers hard drive and install a new copy of Windows 10 on to the drive. Which is something I highly recommend doing if you have any issues that you are not able to solve with your current Windows-installation.

The guide can also be used if you built a new computer and are looking to install Windows 10 on it.
