Google.
Its simple, download the tool, run it and create bootable media on usb. Put usb into pc, boot pc and force boot from usb.

Yeah simple. I did it a few times no issues - it has a little outline on what to do:
Download Windows 10

I've also used ISO to USB or Rufus to load bootable ISO files onto USB drives.

1. Rufus tutorial (Use Rufus if you only want to deploy one boot environment, in your case, Windows 10)
2. easy2boot tutorial (Use easy2boot if you want to add multiple boot environments on one USB drive ie. Windows 10, Ubuntu, Fedora, Windows 7)

Let me know if you have any specific questions. This stuff seems difficult at first but it's really only a few steps.

this is simply not needed . The official tool from microsoft does this for you.

Do you recommend also loading the Intel board drivers and such from Intel afterwards, or just go with what Windows installs?

Right you are. I just thought I'd give them additional options, especially if they were also interested in learning more about the topic. I've used all options listed here several times as every situation is different.

Personally, I always manually update to the newest version of drivers/firmware as there could be security updates. If I notice any issues afterward, then I rollback the driver.
