2. Installation of Windows
- To boot Windows 10 installation from your USB drive, you have to press F8 when your computer is starting. It is the same way as going to BIOS, but you are pressing the F8 instead of the F2/DEL button.
It will pop up small windows where you can select boot device. Just select your USB drive and wait few seconds to boot up.
After boot, this screen will show and you can install Windows.
-Select all options as shown.
- Press Install now.
-Type your Windows 10 license key. There should be a sticker at the bottom of the machine, if not, check the DVD media which was included in the package of your unit. If you can not find it, just choose the „I don't have a product key“ option. You can use the license key after installation.

Here you can see your SSD drives (one of them is Drive 0 and the second one is Drive 1). One of them with 120GB or 240GB and the second one with 500 or 1000GB. Depends on the Streamstar unit model. The smaller one is the system drive where your Windows is installed, also you can see the smaller one with more system partitions. The bigger SSD drive is a data drive. The best way would be to delete every partition (you will clean both hard drives), if everything will be deleted, you will see just 1 partition on each drive as shown below. (Drive 0 with one partition and Drive 1 with one partition)
If you don't want to lose your recordings on your data drive, just delete every partition on the smaller drive (just Drive 0 or Drive 1, depends on which drive is the system drive)
