    I started a clean Windows 10 Pro install on my Dell Vostro Laptop which then freezed at 26%. The power then went off and as such I only now see this screen as per the image. This is also stuck in a loop, which I left on for over 10 hours with no change. I can only access my computer now by starting up and entering the BIOS. I also created a Windows Image Backup for drive C as well as a Media Creation Tool. I now need to know which is the best to use and how to proceed to recover my Windows 10 Pro clean installation.Clean Windows 10 install interrupted now stuck on "Preparing" with error message "Windows...

    Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

    I have bought a legit "Windows 10 Pro" key of a key website. It is legit since i'm currently using it for over a year now. I currently have Windows 10 Pro installed on my PC and I want to do a clean install. I just can't find the windows 10 Pro download in the tool. But if i could use a windows 10 pro key with a normal windows 10 install, I'll be good to go.

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
