How to get started with Windows

New to buying Windows as a digital license? Here is the path from purchase to a fully activated PC.

  1. Check your PC. Make sure it meets the requirements for the version you want. See How to check Windows system requirements.
  2. Choose the right edition. Home covers everyday use; Pro adds business and security tools. See What is the difference between Windows Home and Pro?
  3. Back up your files before installing or upgrading anything.
  4. Install Windows if you are setting up a new PC or doing a clean install. If Windows is already installed, skip this step.
  5. Activate with the product key from your order email. See How to activate Windows.
  6. Run Windows Update to get the latest security fixes and drivers.
