You might need to wait a few weeks for your hardware’s drivers to catch up with Microsoft’s release. Keep in mind the OS is only half the battle. As HowToGeek points out, you can likely also use a Windows 7 or Windows 8 key to register, too, if you're upgrading from an old PC.
If you're undecided on which version to grab, see our guide for the difference between Windows 10 Home and Pro. You can buy that from the Windows store or from Amazon, where you can get a cheaper OEM version. Grab the version compatible with your system and, this is important, have your Win10 product key ready, as you’ll be entering it in eventually.
You won’t need to find Windows 10 installation media or get a retail product from a store Microsoft offers a media creation tool via free download directly on their website, which creates an installer for you. The 32GB version of our favorite flash drive is cheap, and you can find even cheaper budget drives that are still plenty fast for the job. While the OS files themselves don’t take up much space, there will be other important uses for those free gigabytes before installation is over. It’s also smart to shoot for larger sizes, at least 16 GB. It makes a difference during installation. Pick two in USB 3 flavor and get the fastest ones you can. You’ll need media to install from, and USB flash drives are the perfect choice. Any suggestions for accomplishing this would be appreciated, thanks.Fast drives at 16+ GB will make your installation easier. In short, I would like to install Windows 10 in BIOS (to avoid audio issues) on a partition of my SSD without using the optical drive. (Windows 10 won't allow me to install to my BOOTCAMP partition because it is a GPT scheme) I have to tried to install Windows on a partition of my SSD using Virtual Box, but it's not clear to me how to get around the fact that my drive is a GPT partition scheme. Unfortunately the optical drive in my Macbook is broken, so this method isn't available to me. After doing some research, it appears that this problem occurs when you install Windows via EFI boot, so the recommended solution is to install Windows using a burned DVD. I was able to do this using a flash drive, and managed to get everything working except the audio (Windows wouldn't recognize my computer's internal speakers). I'm looking to install Windows 10 on an old Macbook Pro (13 inch, early 2011), which I've replaced the HDD in with a SSD.
