Jul 28, 2015

I want to clean install Windows 10 on my HTPC and remain an insider. Will it ask for a product key? Can I use my 8.1 product key? I found an ISO that I am going to try so that I don't have to install 8.1 and 1,000 updates.

Installation :: Clean Install On A New SSD

Dec 4, 2015

I'm about to do a clean install of Windows 10 pro 64bit on to a new SSD I just received in the mail and wondering how I will be able to activate it? I originally did an upgrade from Win7 Pro to Win10 pro and then a clean install from there back when Win10 pro first became available. I read that I can use the Windows Key on the back of my laptop but I'm not sure that will work because it's a whole new SSD.

No Product Key After Clean Install

Aug 12, 2015

My PC was running 8.1 French version converted to English version (Reseller screwed up).In practice a lot of the stuff was displayed sometimes in Eng sometimes in French. I have the 8.1 French CD.So instead of doing the upgrade which I thought would result in another mishmash of languages, I did a clean install of 10 Home Eng via USB key downloaded install media.Apart from a few video probs (BSOD) blinking cursor, all went well.I cannot use 8.1 product key to activate. Looks like I may have to buy new product key for W10.

How To Do Clean Install After PC Upgrade

Aug 17, 2015

I had a licensed windows 7 PC and did the in-place upgrade to windows 10. However my main hard drive (an SSD) is too small and I want to upgrade it. I understand that if I do a clean install (from an ISO/USB) then windows 10 should still recognise my PC as it was activated.

However, if I change the hard drive (or add memory, add a graphics card etc) does windows still recognise my PC or do I have to go through the stupidty of installing windows 7, installing the service pack, waiting for the inplace upgrade to windows 10, activating, and then wiping everything in order to do a clean install!?!?!

Won't Activate After Clean Install

Aug 9, 2015

I have been an Insider since the very first Insider build was released. I had installed each and every build first being on the Slow ring and the on the Fast. I had upgraded from a genuine Windows 8.1 Pro.

When the final RTM build TH1 Professional 10240 was released to Insiders ahead of schedule, I readily installed it and my machine was permanently activated at that time. The product key used was a generic one ending in 3V66T. Many of you may be knowing this.

Today, in fact just now, I formatted my system partition and installed a clean copy of Windows 10 Pro from USB which I had created using the Microsoft Creation Tool. When the setup asked me for a product key, I entered the same generic key as stated above. But now when I go to the Settings, it says the key doesn't work and hence, my machine cannot be activated. I signed-in using my Microsoft account before using the PC.

What the heck! I am an Insider. And didn't expect this to happen. What should I do next? Would the machine get activated itself after some time?

Clean Install On SDD But Keep HDD Intact

Aug 3, 2015

I have win7 and am going to install win10 from usb. I currently have my OS on my SDD and all my docs,prog files,ect on HDD. Ive read a clean install is best for win10.

My question is, can I delete all the SDD OS partitions during install, select install on the SDD while leaving my HDD completely intact? If so, what option would I select to get to the formatting partition screen without it automatically erasing my HDD files?

Repartitioned Clean Install

Jul 29, 2015

Currently I dual-boot Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 Insider Preview on my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro. I want to eventually delete both partitions and create one big partition to clean-install Windows 10 RTM. My question is, will I be able to successfully activate that Windows 10 with my 8.1-to-10 free upgrade rights if I delete and combine both partitions during setup? I mean, because we're not going to be given product keys for our free upgrade, right?

Activating Clean Install

Oct 23, 2015

I upgraded my computer from Windows 7 to Windows 10. It has already been activated. This Windows 10 installation is on the hard disk. I installed a new SSD drive in the system and did a clean install of Windows 10 on it. Unfortunately the Windows on the SSD drive fails to activate.

I talked Microsoft support and they told me to install Windows 7 on the SSD drive and then upgrade it to Windows 10. That seems like lot of work, especially since I have already installed Windows 10 on the SSD drive.I could clone the hard disk to SSD but I would rather start with a clean Windows 10.

Clean Install On A Brand New SSD

Jan 29, 2016

I currently have an upgraded Windows 10 on my HDD. I'd like to do a clean install on a new SSD.

Migrating everything to the new SSD isn't a viable option for me as I don't have the budget for a big enough SSD with all of the programs and files i want to keep.

Clean Install To Another Drive

Sep 11, 2015

Drives:

C:/ (HDD)
S:/ (SSD)
O:/ (SSD)

Right, I have my OS (Windows 10) installed on the C:/ drive, but I'd like to reinstall it on the O:/ drive. I've only come across one way of doing it:
Clean installation, then copy/move the C:/ drive's content to the O:/ drive.This is what I'm aiming for:

-Having my OS moved from the C:/ to the O:/ drive.
-Cleaning the C:/ drive from all data.
-Keeping the S:/ drive untouched, no problem I'd say.
-Possible: Having the C:/ and O:/ drives switch names after the installation (So the SSD with the newly installed OS would be named C:/.).

Is this possible to do this in one move and use the same Windows 10 key?

I wanted to do a clean install of windows on my SSD again because it had corrupt files. So during the install I deleted my SSD partition to free space and install windows on it but it won't let me. All I have is Drive 0 Unallocated Space which is my SSD and the other is my OEM Reserve. What did I do wrong? Why can't I install windows on freed up space of my SSD?
