Introduction to Computer Hardware:
Hardware is the physical appearance of the devices or tools. It is nothing but components which
we can touch and feel. Computer Hardware consists of the Monitor, CPU, Keyboard, Mouse and
all other devices connected to the computer either externally or internally.

Experiment 2:
Install Windows 10 from USB

First, you need to have an Internet connection and sufficient data storage available on a
computer, USB or external drive for the download. You also need to have a blank USB with at
least 4 GB or 8 GB (if you want both 32-bit and 64-bit) if you want to create media. The content
in the USB that is used to store to creation media will be erased.

Also, please check the System Requirements on the official website of Microsoft to make sure
that your PC is qualified to upgrade to Windows 10. Please also make sure that you have your
Microsoft product key (in the form of xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx ) at hand, just in case of it is
required.

1) Go to the Get Windows 10 download website, then download the Download Tool by
clicking pressing the blue button.

2) Double click the MediaCreationTool.exe file to run the installation of it. If prompted by
 UAC, just click Yes.

3) Click yes

4) Choose Create installation media for another PC. Then choose Next to continue.
5) If you leave the box Use the recommended options for this PC checked, your language,
edition and architecture settings will remain the same as your current PC. So, uncheck
the option, then fill in your own preference settings. Then press Next to continue.
6) Choose USB flash drive, and then click Next.
7) Now plug in your USB flash drive, then choose the flash drive you have and click Next.

8) Windows 10 will now begin to download. The speed of which will be determined by the
 Internet speed that you have.

9) When the download is finished, you will be seeing this window. Just click Finish to
continue.
10) Plug the USB out from your current computer, and then plug it into the computer that
you would like to install Windows 10 on. Then restart your computer. You might need to
press some key or combination of keys to go to boot menu. The keys to press, such as
F12, F2, Delete, or Esc, differ on computers from different manufacturers, so it is
suggested that you go to the support website of your computer to find out what keys to
press to enter the boot menu for your computer first.
11) On the Windows Setup page, select your language, time and keyboard preferences.
Then select Next
12) Select Install now here.
13) You can choose to install your Windows 10 system file to a certain partition here.
14) You can choose to install your Windows 10 system file to a certain partition here.
15) Windows 10 is now installing.

system so click next to go ahead & click Exit to cancel the installation.
 5) Click on next button.
End-user license agreement will be appeared.

6) Click on next, then we get custom setup.

Custom setup: Select the folder in which you would like to install the VMWAREapplication &
besides that select enhanced keyboard driver.
 7) Click next, and then we get user experience setting.
User experience setting: Select both options but you can uncheck it, so I leave it as default& click
on next button.

8) Click next, and then we get application shortcuts preference.

Application shortcuts preference: Here select the place you want the shortcut icons to beplaced
on your system to launch the application so I recommend you to select both options& click on
next button.
9) Install VM workstation: In this step, the installation is ready to go, so click on the “install”
button to begin the installation.

10) Installing VM workstation on windows: Below screenshot shows the installation is in

progress. So wait for this to complete.

KITSCSE

CSE
6) You can type in a different name in “Virtual machine name” or leave as is and select an
appropriate location to store the virtual machine by clicking on “Browse” that is next to
“Location” you should place it in a drive/partition that has at least 20GB of free space.
After you selected the location click “Ok” then“Next”.

7) In “maximum disk size” per UBUNTU recommendations you should allocate at least
20GB-double isrecommended to avoid running out of free space.
8) Select “store virtual disk as a single file” for optimum performance and click “Next”.
9) Click on “customize” & go to “Memory” to allocate more RAM—1GB should
sufficient, but more isalways better if you can spare from the installed RAM.

C:\Users\Documents\Virtual Machines\Ubuntu

10) Go to “Processors” and select the “Number of processors” that for a normal computer is
1 & “number of cores per processor” that is 1 for single core, 2 for dual core, 4 for avad
core and so on. This is to issue optimum performance of the virtual machine.
11) Click close then finish to start the UBUNTU install process.
12) Then, Ubuntu will be created in my computer and it will appear on the screen.
