10 Speed Conversion

I know this is going to sound Dickish, but look around. There's more than enough info already here for you to figure out on your own what you need. Show some effort.
I don't think there are too many people willing to offer help to someone who can't find the motivation to at least fake an effort at researching their own solution. We're not here to be personal shoppers and were not here to talk you through something from stem to stern.

Step one: Get a wheel with a fixed gear cog
Step two: take off original wheel and derailleur
Step three: Put the friggin wheel on
Step four: put chain on
Assuming you have the right crankset you're done.
I agree with IthaDan here, couldn't you have just searched for five minutes. Just yesterday I searched for 45 minutes-2 hours for the right magic gear for my bike.

but yah, Step five: place the axle in the dropout at a correct position to achieve correct tension in the chain.

Shouldn't you mount the tube and tire on the rim before you pump it up.
Shouldn't you install a rim strip on the wheel before you mount the tube and tire ?

Only if they came with them. How about removing the valve caps and unscrewing the valve core nuts before inflating the tubes.

How about lacing the rim hoop and hub together with spokes before you mount the tire.
