Normally, Windows is installed in the C drive of a hard drive. These partitions are assigned with an alphabet. Note: Your hard disk has one or more partitions. Not a big deal to download it, it’s only about 2 megabytes. Download EasyBCD:ĮasyBCD extends and revamps the Windows BCD bootloader. This is not for absolute beginners but for users with intermediate experience. Now that you have the disk image file, let’s begin. You can download the disk image file from the official website of Microsoft. Getting started:įirst, yes, you will require a disk image file. Note: Follow this article if you are a Windows user and wants to install newer Windows or reinstall Windows. Recently, I installed Windows 10 using the method that is discussed below. Or you can drink the kool-aid that Microsoft's Secure Boot signed UEFI bootloaders are somehow more secure than third party ones ( Black Lotus) and go through a cumbersome splitting of the install.wim so that only Microsoft's UEFI booloader is called upon.In this post, I shall show you how I personally use my hard drive to install any operating system.
Provided that your device is not completely locked however, you should be able to find some setting in your Secure Boot configuration that re-enables Secure Boot for third party bootloaders, so you probably want to look for that. This means that, if you are unfortunate enough to try to boot Windows on Surface or Hyper-V or some other Microsoft hardware, you will find that, by default, third-party bootloaders (such as the ones that Rufus or Linux use) are not being let through when the default Secure Boot configuration is enabled. In short, even though Microsoft has been left fully in charge of the whole Secure Boot vetting and signing process, they have decided that there should be two separate versions of Secure Boot, one for them, and one for the rest of the world, and, on the hardware on which they exert control (virtual or real), are promoting the idea that, of these Secure Boot versions, only the Secure Boot version that Microsoft reserves for itself should be considered "secure". Instead, the only bootloaders that are allowed are the "special" ones, that have been produced internally by Microsoft, and signed with a separate Microsoft internal Secure Boot credentials. Then I'm going to assume that you are booting on Microsoft hardware (or Hyper-V), where, in what can only be described as blatant abuse of power, Microsoft have declared that there should exist a "more secure" version of Secure Boot that does not let third party bootloaders pass through, even if they have actually been signed by Microsoft's generic Secure Boot credentials.
