These instructions missing from this acquired ISO file may be crucial to the successful installation and subsequent use of the product as follows: (Plus automatic file updates from Microsoft) Burn the iso file to a blank DVD5 disc with a burning DVD drive and a program such as PowerISO (available as a separate torrent download), thus creating a bootable installation disk

When you install windows, you sometimes/even very often see an annoying message in the windows installation instructions saying that the hard drive you want to install windows on “cannot be used with windows” (because it is partitioned with MBR or GPT – the two variants available) , in which case it should simply say that it needs to switch from one type to another depending on what it requires the partition type to continue

When this happens, open a command prompt from the installation screen at startup (shift F10) and then type the following commands diskpart list disk select disk 0 (if it’s the correct disk number) clean (it will remove what’s on the disk – windows often won’t proceed without the CLEAN command – saying that it can’t convert when you use this command – which it doesn’t tell you to use by the way) convert MBR (or Convert GPT) this is the last command to convert to any partition format windows requires a specific for installation

EXIT If the CLEAN command is not suitable for you (for example, when you want to keep some data on the hard disk, use a program such as EASUS – additionally downloadable from torrent sites) to convert the partition type to such before installing this copy of Windows
