How to install Phoenix OS on Windows 10

Hello and welcome to my first blog post!
Have you tried to install Phoenix OS on our low end PC/Laptop but failed in many attempts? Great! This post is for you then. So lets begin without any further delay!

Warning:
This guide is for windows only. I'm not responsible for any step going wrong or you losing your data due to this. Every PC is made differently. Also there are many PC sensors not working in the Phoenix OS. So go ahead with caution and only after backing up all your data. I recommend you to use the Phoenix OS installer to first install the OS and then if you have errors in booting or getting the system started, follow this guide. Be sure to try out the OS on a USB drive before installing it to your PC. Follow this guide only if you are sure you want to really install it. In usual cases however, it will work fine without erasing your data. You will point a finger at me, I will laugh at you.

Before you start:

• Get your windows product key and keep a USB drive with windows on it ready, just in case...
• This can be done by using The Windows Media Creation Tool if you have windows 10.
• Back up all your data
• Download these files Click Here
• In case the above link doesn't work, use these links
• Remix OS with installer and ISO
• Phoenix OS ISO
• USB drive with at least 8gb storage
