  • If you’ve ever needed to start your PC from fresh or if you’ve freshly built your very first gaming PC build, then you would have had to install an Operating System, such as Windows 10 or 11 at some point.
    There are many ways you can do so that make the process as simple as possible and gone are the days that you used to grab the install disk from the store.
    These days, what you’ll do is in one way or another, is create a bootable USB (or bootable drive of some sort). Then once you’ve created your bootable disk, you stick it into your PC or new PC build, boot from it and then install it onto your new storage device, such as an SSD.

      Oh that background is pretty popular. Believe me. I'm sure everyone who changes wallpapers frequently both on PC and mobile has seen or used it at least once.
