How to Install Windows 10 | Running 1809 LTSC 64 Bit Step by Step

Quick Insight

You install Windows 10 LTSC by first writing the Enterprise ISO to a USB stick with a tool like Rufus. You enable UEFI and Secure Boot in the BIOS while turning off Fast Boot for a clean start. The setup wizard then asks you to pick a language, accept the license, and choose the Custom install path. On the disk screen, you click New to create a fresh partition and let the installer format it. The tool copies system files and restarts your PC a few times on its own. So you get a lean and stable build that skips the extra apps and long update delays.

In this article, we will examine how to install a clean Microsoft Windows 10 step by step on a new PC / Laptop.

Which is the Latest Windows 10 Version?

The latest version of Windows is Windows 2004, released on May 27, 2020. The latest Build version is 19041.388.

How to Build Windows 10 on a Laptop or Desktop Computer

To install Windows 10 cleanly on the computer you buy or on the computer you use, you first need the ISO file.

After downloading the ISO, you will need a Flash Memory of 8 GB minimum. You must burn the operating system that you downloaded to your computer into a Bootable Flash Memory.

You can download the Windows operating system using Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool and prepare a Bootable Flash Memory. You can also burn a Windows ISO file to Flash Memory using a tool such as Rufus.

You do not need to have Flash Memory for it. Otherwise, you can install it on your computer’s CD/DVD drive. For example, you can burn the Windows ISO file you downloaded to a DVD using a program such as Nero and start the installation.

How to Configure Windows 10 Enterprise

Before you begin the installation step by step, prepare a Bootable Flash Memory using Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool. You can download only Home and Pro versions of Windows to your computer using the Media Creation Tool.

Download the Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC ISO file that we published in the previous article to your computer and print the ISO file to Flash Memory.
