If you own a Hyte Revolt 3 and want to install Windows on it, this comprehensive guide will walk you through each step. Whether you're upgrading or installing Windows for the first time, following these instructions will help you set up your device efficiently and correctly.

Prerequisites and Preparations

Before starting the installation process, ensure you have everything you need:

  • A USB flash drive with at least 8GB of storage
  • A working Windows ISO file
  • Rufus or another bootable USB creation tool
  • Access to a Windows PC to prepare the installation media
  • Your Hyte Revolt 3 device and its power supply

Creating Bootable Windows USB Drive

To install Windows, you must create a bootable USB drive with the Windows installation files.

Follow these steps:

  • Download the latest Windows ISO from the official Microsoft website.
  • Insert your USB flash drive into your PC.
  • Open Rufus or your preferred tool.
  • Select your USB drive in the device menu.
  • Choose the Windows ISO file you downloaded.
  • Set the partition scheme to GPT and target system to UEFI (non-CSM).
  • Click 'Start' to create the bootable drive.

Preparing Your Hyte Revolt 3

Ensure your Hyte Revolt 3 is powered off and disconnected from power. Connect the bootable USB drive to the device.

Next, you'll need to access the device's BIOS/UEFI settings to configure the boot order.

Accessing BIOS/UEFI

Press the power button to turn on your device, and immediately press the BIOS access key repeatedly. Common keys include F2, F12, DEL, or ESC, depending on your device. Refer to your Hyte Revolt 3 manual if unsure.

Once in the BIOS/UEFI menu, navigate to the boot options.

Configuring Boot Priority

Set the USB drive as the primary boot device. Save your changes and exit BIOS/UEFI.

Installing Windows

Your device should now boot from the USB drive. Follow these steps to complete the Windows installation:

  • Select your language, time, and keyboard preferences, then click 'Next.'
  • Click 'Install Now.'
  • Enter your Windows product key if prompted, or choose to do it later.
  • Select the edition of Windows you want to install.
  • Choose 'Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)'.
  • Select the drive where you want to install Windows. Usually, this is the primary SSD or HDD.
  • Click 'Next' and wait for the installation process to complete.

The device may restart multiple times during installation. Do not remove the USB drive until the process is finished.

Post-Installation Setup

Once Windows is installed, remove the USB drive and allow the device to boot into Windows.

Follow the on-screen prompts to set up your account, preferences, and privacy settings.

Final Tips

Ensure all device drivers are installed correctly. Visit the Hyte website or use Windows Update to get the latest drivers for optimal performance.

If you encounter issues, check the BIOS settings to ensure UEFI mode is enabled and Secure Boot is configured properly.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Windows on your Hyte Revolt 3.
