And the other part of your question, all you need to do is download
Windows 10 Media Creation Tool, and have a USB stick.

You'll need to get Windows activated, but that is another matter. The operating itself is free to download and install - you'll just need to purchase or recover a key to get it activated. If your computer already has windows 10 - then windows will activate automagically.
