3. Create a bootable USB drive

After downloading the ISO file, you need to create a bootable USB drive using a tool such as Rufus or the Windows USB/DVD Download Tool. Insert a USB drive with at least 8GB of storage, open the tool and follow the instructions to create a bootable USB drive.

4. Boot from the USB drive

Once the USB drive is ready, restart your computer and press the key to access the boot menu (usually F12 or Delete). Select the USB drive as the boot device and press Enter.

5. Install Windows 11

After booting from the USB drive, you will be prompted to select your language and other preferences. Follow the on-screen instructions to proceed with the installation. You will be asked to enter the product key, so make sure to have it handy.

6. Configure Settings

Once the installation is complete, you need to configure the basic settings such as language, region, and time zone. You also need to create a user account and set up security options such as password and PIN.

7. Install Drivers and Updates

After configuring the basic settings, you need to install the necessary drivers and updates for your computer. Visit the manufacturer’s website to download and install the latest drivers for your computer. You can also check for updates by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
