    Can I clean install Windows 11 if my Dell PC originally was Window 10?


    Can I clean install Windows 11 if my Dell PC originally was Window 10? Initially my System Upgrade came up with note that original Windows 10 need to be upgraded to Windows 11 and having all required capabilities. I did upgrade and currently works OK. But it feels that PC kind off slow and I assume that some software might have incompatibility issues. Therefore , I prefer to reinstall Windows 11 using clean reinstall in order to erase all old staff. My concern is that clean install might erase license data making PC dysfunctional. Please advise. Peter

    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?

    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.
