# Chapter Summary (2 of 3) - Windows can be installed from the setup DVD, a USB flash drive, files downloaded from the Internet via the Media Creation Tool, or in a virtual machine - A technician needs to know how to perform an in-place upgrade, a clean install, or a multiboot with Windows - The steps for installing or upgrading Windows 8.1 are about the same as those for Windows 10 - A clean install is the best option to use if the current installation is sluggish or giving problems, or if you're installing Windows on a new desktop computer that you're building - After a Windows installation, verify network access, activate Windows, install any Windows updates or Windows 7 service packs, verify that automatic updates are configured correctly, install hardware and applications, create user accounts and transfer or restore user data and preferences from backups, and turn Windows features on or off
