How to install Windows 10 on Asus X540 Laptop. Enable USB Boot in Bios Settings

Training ( )

If the installed operating system still allows you to work, there are three fundamentally important steps to take first:

Prepare the necessary drivers (for a video card, network). Having them, it will be possible to find the rest of the elements in the future.

Check your computer for viruses with Comodo Internet Security or AVG AntiVirus Free

Copy documents from system drive.

If your device no longer allows you to complete the above points, try to find another one with which you can still do this.

Important drivers for the Eee PC model or any others are on the official website.

But copying documents from the system disk in case of laptop inoperability will not be so easy. If the device allows it, we move it to a safe place. If not, open the laptop, take out the hard drive and try to connect it to other equipment. Pulling out the data you need.

Create bootable portable memory

It should be said right away that you can reinstall the OS in different ways. Previously, it was popular from disk, since there was simply no USB memory. In the early days, many motherboards did not support such devices. But over time, it became possible to carry out the necessary procedure from a flash drive. And even today this option often becomes the only one, since many models simply may not have a suitable drive.

We’ll look at a no-disk option using only compact portable storage:

We find the image of the required OS. Usually Windows 7 is downloaded from different torrent trackers.

Install the UltraISO application. Since the program is paid, in order to use it, we press the “Trial period”. this will be enough for our purposes.

Go to the “File” menu and then “Open”.

Add the previously downloaded system image.

We go to “Bootstrapping”, and then “Burn the image”. A new window will open where we select “USB-HDD”, and then “Format”. We confirm the action.

At the end we are interested in “Record”.

Installation

Well, now let’s move on to directly hosting Windows 8 or any other OS version on the device:

When the system restarts, the display will show a message telling you to press any button to continue. Do it.

A plate will appear where you need to specify your preferred language. As a result, we select “Install”.

The “License Agreement” appears. We confirm reading.

Then we need a “Full Installation”.

Now we decide whether the process will take place with or without the removal of sections. Personally, I recommend allocating about 50 GB to the system disk. If you already have one, just click on the desired drive and then “Format”. We confirm our actions.

How to reinstall Windows on Asus laptop? Step-by-step instruction

Good day, blog visitors.

Any computer, regardless of the “stuffing” and the software used, sooner or later needs a clean installation of the operating system. This is due to various reasons. a new version has appeared, the old one is out of order, there is a desire to remove errors and others. Of course, reinstalling Windows on a laptop on Asus or any other manufacturer will help in all these issues. But today I’m just going to talk about the process associated specifically with the equipment from this computer giant.

BIOS setup

Now we need to set the boot via BIOS and some other elements. To do this, we perform a number of actions:

First you need to get to the above place. We reboot the device and immediately at startup press “Del”, “F2” or another key indicated on the monitor. it all depends on the model. For example, on k53s, the first option is suitable.

Then we go to the “BOOT” tab and select Hard Drive BBS Priorities. We need to put the USB stick first.

After we find “Launch CSM” and indicate “Enabled”.

Open “Security” and remove “Boot Control”.

At the end, press “F10” and confirm the action. This will save everything that we set, and then reboot the system.

Using the fallback area

Also on some models, such as x54h, it is possible to use the recovery area. This is some space on the hard disk, which makes it possible to restore the system without a removable disk.

Important! If, after purchasing a laptop, the operating system has already changed, most likely it will be impossible to do this.

So, in order to use the tools from the backup department, we do a number of actions:

We restart the system and immediately hold down “F9”.

A menu will appear where we need to specify “Windows Setup” and confirm the action.

A corresponding message will appear at the end.

Turn on the device and specify the settings, as usually happens when you first start.

Well, as mentioned above, such a solution will help to cope with many problems. Sometimes even it comes up when the FN button does not work. But again, not on all models.

How to install Windows 10 on an Asus laptop with UEFI (using the ZenBook UX310UA model as an example)

Not so long ago, I came across a compact laptop complaining about the impossibility of installing Windows 10 (the error “Installing Windows on this disk is not possible. Perhaps the hardware of this computer”). Well, I had to figure it out

In fact, the problem was (I think) related to the fact that the user incorrectly created the bootable media and tried to install the system from it. Although, I will immediately note that in some cases, incorrect BIOS / UEFI settings may be to blame.

In this article, I will show a step-by-step example of installing the OS on an ASUS ZenBook UX310UA laptop (I will add that on many ASUS laptops, especially from this line, the steps will be similar).

Installing Windows 10 on an ASUS laptop

Creating a bootable USB drive

To work, you need the Rufus utility and a boot image with Windows 10 OS.

And so, insert the USB flash drive and launch Rufus (Important! All data on the USB flash drive will be deleted, so copy everything you need from it).

Next, specify the ISO image (recommended for installation above), then select the option “GPT for computers with UEFI interface” (file system. FAT 32), “Standard Windows installation”. Click the “Start” button (the settings are shown in the screenshot below).

Update from 01/24/2019 (since the Rufus program has been slightly updated, and its design has changed. I will give one more screen for version 3.4 so that no one gets confused).

In general, the flash drive is ready, you can move on

Loading the optimal settings in the BIOS. enter the boot menu.

BIOS settings are not always set by default (default). Therefore, first of all, I recommend to go into the BIOS and restore them.

By the way, you can immediately connect the bootable USB flash drive created in the previous step. I recommend connecting to a USB 3.1 port (installation will be faster, especially if your flash drive supports this standard).

To enter the BIOS, immediately after turning on the laptop (the ASUS logo should appear) press the F2 key (preferably several times, to be sure).

In BIOS (UEFI). first of all go to Advanced Mode (F7 key). see the bottom of the window.

In the Save Exit section, select the Restore Defaults option. Then save the changes. the “Save Changes” button (you can simply press the F10 button. after which all changes will be saved and the laptop will go to reboot. enter the BIOS again with the F2 key).

Restore Defaults. restore the default settings

After restoring the settings, entering the main BIOS (UEFI) window again, press the F8 button (enter the Boot Menu). In it you should see our USB flash drive. select it and press Enter.

Boot Menu. select bootable media

Next, the laptop must start installing Windows. a “circle” should run in the center of the screen

If the installation does not occur. check if you wrote down the installation USB drive correctly and set the UEFI settings.

Windows 10 setup process

The first window is a greeting with a choice of language (I omitted it, just press Enter). In the next window. click the “Install” button.

Next, a window will appear with the terms of the license. agree and click “next”.

In the window with the choice of installation option, select “Custom: Windows installation only (for advanced users)”.

deleting all partitions on the hard drive

After that, you can create one partition on the entire disk and install it into it (some recommend creating two partitions. one for installing Windows, the other for user data). If you create two partitions, then under Windows I recommend allocating space for at least 100 GB.

In my case, I just created one partition for the entire disk (931.5 GB) and clicked “Next”.

By the way, if at this step you see an error that “Windows cannot be installed on this disk” (see the screen below), then you most likely created the bootable USB flash drive incorrectly (see the first part of this article). It is also possible that you downloaded an “incorrect” ISO image with the system.

Actually, if all is well, the installation of Windows should begin. Here you just need to wait while the files are copied (if you connected a flash drive to USB 3.1, then wait not long, 5-6 minutes).

When the files are copied, the laptop will reboot and the installation will continue. Several windows will appear in front of you: but there is nothing interesting in them, you will need to enter a username, set network settings (you can also skip all the steps and do it after). I lowered all these windows, tk. They are of no practical interest, and I think that everyone will cope with them on their own

Actually, this completes the installation. Then you can start installing the drivers (in my case, it was enough to go to the official website on this page: https://www.asus.com/ru/Laptops/ZenBook-Classic-Series-Products/).

But to be honest, just in case, I also resorted to Drive Booster and for extra. 5 minutes I updated not only the drivers, but also all sorts of libraries: DirectX, Visual C, Net FrameWork, etc. (without going anywhere and without looking for anything

There are a lot of such images on the net. (for example, can be downloaded from the official Microsoft website).

And so, insert the USB flash drive and launch Rufus (Important! All data on the USB flash drive will be deleted, so copy everything you need from it).

You will not find any stunning or revolutionary innovations in comparison with 8.1. However, in every component the operating system has improved both in speed and controllability. Here are just five points that any laptop user might be interested in.

• The most important news for all those who have taken hostility to the “tiles” of the eighth version. the return of the familiar desktop “Start” menu. It has become much smarter and more convenient to use. To run any program, you just need to type the first couple of letters of its name. Live tiles are still there, they have moved to the Start menu bar.

The program is called Media Creation Tool.

• In Media Creation Tools, select the desired action: install Windows 10 on your laptop right now or create a bootable USB flash drive.
• In the next window, decide on the OS edition, language and bit depth. The choice of bit depth is related to the capabilities of the processor. But even if the central chip is capable of supporting 64-bit computing, but the memory is less than 4 GB, then you can opt for the 32-bit version. There won’t be much sense in switching to 64-bit.
• Specify the type of media for recording the image: a flash drive of at least 4 GB or a DVD disc. Most portable laptops do not have a DVD drive, so there are few alternatives.

How to install Windows 10?

Windows 10 left the Technical Preview in August. Now not only enthusiasts and technicians can use it. The new operating system is better and more convenient than all previous versions of “windows”. Anyway, at the moment. However, many users are wondering “is it worth installing Windows 10 on your laptop?” The alternative for them is to stay on the previous stable version. In this article, we will reveal the benefits of using the new product from Microsoft, as well as explain in detail and step by step how to install Windows 10 on a laptop.

Important notes about installing and using Windows 10 on a laptop

In this new version of Microsoft’s operating system, keep in mind the following features.

• In Windows 10, even more clearly than in the G8, the concept of applications and user data is separated. Never place your documents and photos on the system drive. If you ever need to do a full system reset, they can be removed. But the system also recovers completely, even if system files and applications are damaged.
• An Internet connection is required throughout the installation of Windows 10 on a laptop to download important update files and device drivers.
• When installing “tens” on an old laptop, released more than five years ago, make sure there are drivers for this version of the OS for all devices in the laptop. For example, while support for some sound cards is limited.
• The installation disc or flash drive can be left in case of system recovery after a serious failure. But this happens very rarely. Therefore, most users do not save the recovery disc. You can always make a new one.
• It is not recommended to use pirated distributions for installation. Your laptop’s operating system needs constant updating, which is not guaranteed by the pirated installation kit.
• After installing Windows 10 on a laptop, it will not be superfluous to install an antivirus. Many free programs: AVG, Avast, for example, have already released their versions under the top ten.

Should you install Windows 10 on your laptop? The answer is yes. The laptop will run faster, and you will get new applications and an easier-to-manage OS. Honestly, there isn’t much to customize. This is the first version of the OS that works great out of the box.

Prepare Windows installation media

You can install Windows from both DVD media and USB stick. The latter option is more popular since most modern laptops do not have a DVD drive.

Buy or burn your own operating system DVD. Download the ISO image of the system from the Microsoft website.

Users, as a rule, create bootable USB-sticks on their own or ask from friends. Use UltraISO Premium to create an ISO ISO image for Windows.

One year warranty for a new part

If we replaced the cooler, and it broke down after 10 months. we will replace it with a new one for free.

Preparing a Windows installation

At the very first stage, you need to prepare the laptop for installation in advance. As a rule, the boot starts from the hard disk on which the OS is installed, but sometimes in the BIOS, previous installers may leave the verification of the installation media in the DVD drive. That is why you need to go into BIOS and install boot from DVD or USB-media, depending on where you will install the system from.
