Everyone should know how to reinstall Windows 10, because you never
know when a random mishap or malware will render your PC helpless. Put a
copy of Windows 10 on an optical disc as an ISO file, or on a USB key drive, and you'll be ready if your PC needs to start over.

Download the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft to begin making an ISO or USB version of Windows 10. The first step is to download the Media Creation Tool by clicking the Download tool now
button on this webpage. Once the tool downloads to your PC, you don't
need to do any further installation. Just double-click the Media
Creation Tool icon to start the process.

between ISO file and USB drive download, and settle details such as
language and operating system version. At the end, you'll have the
choice of opening a DVD burning application to put the ISO file on disc,
or downloading it directly to your computer.
If you download the ISO file to your computer, you can right-click its icon and select Mount
to run the Windows installation. If your PC's in trouble, however,
having this file locally may not help you. That's why you'll want a DVD
or USB-drive version handy if possible.
