    windows reinstall after upgrade


    Hello


    I upgraded from windows 8.1 --> windows 10. I am having to try certain things as the HDD is completely slowed down


    If I remove windows completely for a while and installed another OS , can I reinstall windows 10 later as a fresh install and MSFT will recognize the device? the product keys dont seem to work when doing a fresh install.


    Thanks in advance


    Prakash

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond windows reinstall after upgrade :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

  3. reinstall after upgrade

    I have a Surface Pro that originally had Windows 8.1 Pro. I have installed the free Windows 10 upgrade, but I now want to reinstall it. I want to completely wipe my hard drive and install Windows 10. I know this can be done, but I need a list of steps to
    get everything necessary to reinstall Windows 10 (including exporting settings & preferences) and how to wipe my hard drive. Are there any good places to get a good detailed list of steps to do these things? Thanks.
