  I am trying to install a theme for the first time, I have check the condition for install theme on youtube or wordpress forum that showed, we should have install theme button under appearance and theme, however I couldn’t find that on mind so i thought that might be so problem on my laptop that not allow install button.
  Therefore I have my friend to check and they did login on their wordpress (phanthaistyle.com) from my laptop and that work well with install theme button showed.
  So I would very like to know how can i install my own theme to my web or how should i do th fix that ?
  Thanks

  You can’t install can’t install your own theme on WordPress.COM. We all use the same shared Theme files so this is a security issue. The videos you saw were for a WordPress.ORG install as is your friends site.

  If you have CSS editing experience, you can get the Custom Design upgrade, which will allow you to stylize the themes here, but it does not allow you to change the functionality. CSS is also themes specific so you cannot use the CSS from one theme with another theme. Before buying the upgrade, you can go to appearance > Custom Design and to the CSS tab and wordpress has provided a preview function where you can try out changes before you buy the upgrade.
