Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.

Clean Install

Ed,

I don't disagree with you but the OP's problem is not being forced to use an MSAccount but being forced to create a new MSAccount.
- The [Windows 10] Clean install tutorial covers avoiding MSAccounts altogether.
- There are equivalent steps for Windows 11 Home that are now included at Step 21a of Clean Install Windows 11 - ElevenForumTutorials


All the best,
Denis

 

Win 11 clean install - unable to see ssd

I had a dismal attempt at upgrading from Win 10 to Win 11. I won't go into that. So I must do a clean install. My win 10 system is visible - sort of - with my sign in screen etc . I just can't sign in.

I run the win 11 install (created using the media creation tool). It sees no disk drives except the usb. I poke around. The drive is in the bios ok but diskpart just doesn't find it. I try a few things I have seen suggested but nothing results in any change. I have just taken the disk out and formatted it on another computer using diskpart. It shows as healthy, active, primary partition. Replaced it but still not seen.

I am at a loss. It was seen and booted from. But Windows install can't see it, diskpart can't see it. Other computers can see it as an external drive.

Any suggestions gratefully received. TIA John
