After creating your bootable USB using the Windows Media Creation Tool, what you need to do is:

- Plug it into the computer you want to instal Windows on
- Change the boot order to boot from USB if you need to from the BIOS
- The installer should start automatically and you can select which drive to install on, partitions etc.

(Tip, apparently Windows USB installs work better using a USB 2.0 slot)

After completing the instal of Windows it is a good idea to create a restore point and back up, You can find out more about this by clicking on the link below:

the purpose of wanting to get the tool is to make sure i have something to boot into in case i have a no boot issue or other issue that prevents me from logging in. the pc already has been reinstalled due to a no boot issue. (it has been repaired) so do i click setup or leave it as is?
