    Namaste,

     

    write a Windows-image to a USB key, leave it in, and restart the laptop.

     

    Best regards,

    Windows 10 should be installed on HDD, as your 20GiB SSD seems way too small.

     

    You can do an automatic install or select the device/partitions yourself. Let Windows do this for you.

    If they do not show up, you need to assign a drive letter (also in disk management).

    your 20GB SSD is used as Intel smart response SSD, a way to speed up the data transfer from the HDD, so don't touch its partitions.

    if you do a windows 10 clean install, you need to re-install software and activate the Smart response.
