Windows 10 is a major release of Microsoft's Windows NT
 operating system. It is the direct successor to 
Windows 8.1, which was released nearly two years
earlier. It was released to manufacturing on July 15, 2015,
and later to retail on July 29, 2015.[18] Windows 10 was
made available for download via MSDN and TechNet, as
a free upgrade for retail copies of Windows 8 and 
Windows 8.1 users via the Windows Store, and to 
Windows 7 users via Windows Update. Windows 10
receives new builds on an ongoing basis, which are
available at no additional cost to users, in addition to
additional test builds of Windows 10, which are available
to Windows Insiders.
Here are some of the most important things you should take
into consideration when planning for your Windows 10
installation:

• Check System Requirements

• Check Hardware and Software Compatibility

• Determine Disk Partitioning Options

• Complete a Pre-Installation Checklist

System Requirements

• 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster for 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor

• 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

• 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

• DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

x64 vs x86 Installer What to Use?

You need to choose whether to set up a 32-bit or 64-bit

variant of Windows 10. The set-up package incorporates
both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS. Fundamentally, the
64-bit version of Windows handles a lot of memory (RAM)
more adequately than a 32-bit architecture. Along these
lines, on the off chance that you are going to use Windows
10 on a pc with larger than 4 GB of RAM, it is recommend to
use the 64-bit version.
Type of Installation

1. Upgrade (In-place upgrade) – this alternative replaces your

present variant of Windows with Windows 10, and keeps
your records, settings, and projects set up on your PC.

2. Custom ("fresh" installation) – this choice replaces your

present version of Windows with Windows 10, yet doesn't
keep your records, settings, and programs. It's occasionally
referred to a bare metal installation for that reason.
