(please correct me if I'm wrong) So I do know that you have to make a bootable usb drive using rufus, which is only compatible on a Windows pc. I only have a MacBook. What do I have to do to install Windows on my new pc build? Thanks!
 
You have to buy it if I'm not mistaken, you only get a free upgrade. You had to have had win 7 or 8 or 8.1 to upgrade to 10.

You would boot the computer with a os disk in the drive, boot from disk, instal, repair bottom left, command prompt and use diskpart to format and clean the disk. Then just install the os, and upgrade once booted
 
just go to a store and buy a copy of windows 10, turn on your desktop pc and then stick the windows 10 disc in and go through the installation/setup, it just installs everything and deletes all your old stuff
 


You have to actually buy the OS. Either on USB or DVD.
 
Gk to the library and download a copy using the windows usb/dvd utility tool, this will let you write the os onto the flash drive or disk no problem. If you have a win 7 or above laying around, grab the product key, this will deactivate your win on the pc you take it from but you won't have to buy an os, and you can just upgrade after installing the os.
