  2. What's the best way to Clean Install Windows 10 on my ACER All in One desktop Aspire ZC-102?

    Hi Jeff,

    As I understand you successfully upgraded and activated Windows 10 but you are facing issues regarding performance etc. due to which you wish to repair or reinstall Windows 10. By repair installation I understand you mean in-place upgrade or custom installation
    of Windows 10 meaning you wish to do a refresh on your system. Please correct me if I am wrong.



    Before providing any steps I would recommend you to keep a back up of all the important files and documents.

    If you are able to successfully login to Windows 10, then you can try a refresh which would be a fresh installation of your OS.

    Refresh is part of reset in Windows 10

    Hope this helps. Please respond if you have further related queries.

    Regards,

    Best way to clean install windows 10

    There are only two ways to clean install - boot from a usb drive or dvd.

    or

    Do you mean it's final destination when installed ie on a separate drive, partition, virtual hard drive etc.

  7. Quote: "Before you get started installing Windows 10, be sure that you temporarily UEFI firmware settings until finished. Some motherboards do not support booting from a USB flash drive with these enabled. "

    Is it really necessary?

    It is if you want the installation to be successful. You can enable them again after the installation has finished though.

    Not possible to really answer as the statement does say "some" i.e. it is conditional!

    So if your mobo does not support them then yes, otherwise no.

    You can try without of course first if you do not know.

  10. It's basically USB or CD recognition, right?

    I would recommend using a USB flash drive if clean installing Windows 10 with UEFI.

  12. So ultimately, enable or disable?

    The question has been answered!

    For clarity - disable. Then when installed, reenable.

    I have an Asus Z97-A motherboard and I have never disabled Secure Boot or fast boot. It is hardware dependent.

    The point is disabling it will work on any mobo. Not disabling it will only work on some mobos.
