I bought a 32 gigabyte USB drive at Walmart for only $3, so this shouldn't be very expensive. The ISO file is only about 5 gigabytes, but I recommend you use a USB drive with at least 16 gigabytes of space just in case Windows needs more space during the installation process. Step 2: Insert your USB storage drive into your Mac If you want a non-English-language version of Windows, or want to get an older update version, download the ISO here instead. If you're not sure, go with the 32-bit version to be safe. If you have a relatively new computer, you probably want the 64-bit version. If you want an English-language version of the latest update of Windows 10, you can download the ISO here. That's right - everything we're going to do here is 100% legal and sanctioned by Microsoft. You can download the ISO file straight from Windows. In this tutorial we'll show you how you can set this up from a Mac. Luckily, Microsoft makes a tool that you can use to install Windows from a USB storage drive (or 'thumbdrive' as they are often called).īut what if you don't have a second PC for setting up that USB storage drive in the first place?
So it can be a pain to install Windows on a new computer.
Most new PCs don't come with DVD drives anymore.
