Windows 10: Characters missing from fonts in new install of Windows 10

As the subject states, a new install of Windows 10 is missing certain characters from most fonts. On other Windows 10 computers I use or have used in the past, these characters are displayed correctly, without ever having installed supplementary fonts.


For example, the black ★ and white ☆ stars. If I paste them into Notepad++ they are displayed as blank boxes. Used Courier New and Consolas to test, both with the same result. If I do the same on another computer, they are displayed correctly. I tried copying the two aforementioned font files over and installing them, but this did not change anything.

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?
