Step 1: Download Windows 8.1 ISO
To begin, you need to download the Windows 8.1 ISO file. Follow these steps:
- Go to the official Microsoft website for Windows 8.1 downloads: Microsoft Windows 8.1 Download.
- Select the version of Windows 8.1 that you need.
- Choose the language and download the ISO file to your computer.
Step 2: Create a Bootable Flash Drive
Once you have downloaded the ISO, the next step is to create a bootable flash drive. You can use tools like Rufus for this process. Here’s how:
- Download Rufus from its official website.
- Insert your flash drive into the computer.
- Open Rufus and select your flash drive from the device list.
- Under "Boot selection," click on "Select" and choose the Windows 8.1 ISO file you downloaded.
- Ensure the partition scheme is set to "MBR" for BIOS compatibility.
- Click on "Start" to create the bootable drive. This process will erase all data on the flash drive, so make sure to back up any important files.
Step 3: Access the BIOS
To install Windows 8.1, you need to boot from the flash drive. Here’s how to access the BIOS settings:
- Restart your computer.

- Once in BIOS, navigate to the "Boot" menu.
- Set the boot order to prioritize the USB flash drive over the hard drive.
- Save changes and exit the BIOS.

- Click on "Install Now."
- Enter your product key if prompted, or choose "I don't have a product key" to continue without it.
- Accept the license terms and click "Next."
- Choose the installation type: select "Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)" for a fresh installation.
- Select the drive where you want to install Windows 8.1. You can format the drive if needed, but this will erase all data.
- Click "Next" to start the installation.
Step 5: Complete the Setup
After installation is complete, follow these steps to finish setting up Windows 8.1:
