Steps to Install Tiny10

Step 1. Download Installation file

To install Tiny10 in your computer you will require a bootable image of the operating system. To get the image of Tiny10 click on the Link. You will be directed to Internet Achieves where you can download the .iso file.

Here 23H1 is the stable version to use. As we are using a 64-bit Computer, so we will download the x64 version. You can download x86 if you are using a 32-bit machine. Click on the preferred version and wait till it’s downloaded into your computer.

Step 2. Download Rufus

We will need a flashing tool to flash the bootable image in a Pen drive to make a bootable disk. Rufus is an open-source tool used to create a bootable drive for Windows distribution. Download the latest version of Rufus.

Step 3. Create Bootable Drive

Once both the downloads are completed, insert a Pendrive into your computer and run the Rufus software.

Select the iso file as Boot Selection and Choose the partition scheme as GPT which stands for GUID partition table ( For legacy systems choose MBR). Leave other configurations as it is and click on start. Once the flashing process is completed click on Close.

Step 4. Change Boot priority

Change the boot priority for your computer by accessing the BIOS settings. Check the computer manufacturer’s website to know the BIOS key for your system. In the Boot priority section, give the UFFI Boot as the highest priority. Also, Disable Secure Boot if it is enabled, otherwise you may face boot failure during the boot of Tiny10.

Once you have made the changes, save all changes and exit. The computer will be restarted automatically.

Step 5. Configure Installation

Once the computer restarts, you will see the Typical Windows 10 installation menu. But in this case, you have to select the configurations only that are necessary.

If you want to change anything like the Language, Time, advertisements and Currency, or the Keyboard layout, then change it and click on Next. On the Next screen, it will show the storage devices (e.g. HDD, SSD, etc.) attached to your computer. Select the appropriate disk to install the OS.

As we have only one disk, we will click on Next. It is recommended to format the disk first to delete all files of the previous OS. On the next screen, you will see that the startup has started copying the installation files.

Wait for several minutes as it will take some time to finish up all the processes shown in the above picture. You can compare the installation process with typical Windows 10 installation by visiting the article on How to Install Windows 10 From a USB Flash Drive.
