A laptop needs an operating system to be useful, and you need to know how to install Windows 10 from USB on the TM1 Laptop. This guide will show you how to install Windows 10 from a USB drive on both new and used Teacher Mate One (TM1) laptops.

The steps online here also work for any laptop or desktop computer. The only part that differs is the keyboard combination to change the bootable device order. You can, however, refer to your laptop or desktop manufacturer’s website to know how to enter the boot menu or change the boot order.

What you will need for this tutorial

  1. A working Laptop or Desktop PC running any recent version of Microsoft Windows (Windows 7, 8, 10, or 11).
  2. Windows 10 or 11 OS (iso image). You can also use previous versions such as Windows 7, 8, etc. Get one here.
  3. Rufus Bootable software. Download it here.
  4. USB flash drive (Pen drive). It should be 8GB or more. Get quality one here.

If you face a problem following this step or can’t find a workaround to enter the boot menu for your laptop, kindly leave a comment below, and I will help you out.

Why should you install new windows on the TM1 laptop?

You may install new windows on your TM1 laptop if it runs slow or performs poorly. The TM1 uses an SSD to boost your laptop’s performance with an optimum speed. So if your laptop is running slower, installing new windows is high time.

Sometimes too, you may be tempted to install new windows because your TM1 laptop always runs into intermittent problems. Some of the known problems are disabled sound (audio), TM1 laptop speaker not working even though the audio icon is enabled, poor video quality, system freezing and persistent “blue screen of death” (BSOD).

You can solve a disabled sound and non-working speaker by installing device drivers. Here, I have outlined detailed steps to download and install all the TM1 laptop drivers. For some problems, you could upgrade to Windows 11 using the Windows Insider Program or install Windows 11 from a USB flash drive for a clean installation.

In this guide, I’ll show you how to use a bootable USB flash drive to format and reinstall a stable version of Windows 10. Follow the steps to put Windows 10 on a TM1 laptop from a USB drive.
