Windows 10: Clean install now possible?

Hi Guys,
I upgraded from Windows 8 Pro to Windows 10 Pro using the Media Creation Tool method. Can I now follow Brink's tutorial for a clean install, or did I have to use the Get Windows 10 App for a clean install to work?

Clean install, then reset pc now wifi says connected but I can't access the internet

I upgraded and everything thing went ok. Reset my laptop but kept files everything thing worked ok

i decided to do a clean install. Everything went good.

I downloaded a virus, Vpn software and ad ware so I did another reset to the clean install. Now it says I'm connected to wifi but my internet still doesn't work. Please help!!

 

Yes, you can now clean install if you have performed an upgrade install and are activated in Windows 10.

 

Yes you can do clean install *Smile

But I suggest you to wait for 1 - 2 days ,Because a lot of people have a problem with the keys even if they upgrade from windows 7 or 8.1 it look like the problem is from Microsoft server :/

 

Took me about 24 hours to get activated after the upgrade.

 

Okay, thanks for the answers. I thought I might have a problem activating Windows, but it actually tells me "Windows is activated", which is good.

 

You'll want to find out what your new key is. Mine changed upon upgrading.

 

Key's do not matter any longer. You never have to enter a key again.
It is stored along with all the other info. about you 'puter on the MS server's.

 

Oh, so if I were to do a clean install at a later point (on the same machine), I won't be prompted for a key??

 

No, you will not.
Since you did the upgrade the proper way, you won't have a problem.

 

Great! Thanks for the info *Smile

 

Your welcome Sir.

 

I tried the clean install after upgrading and having the upgrade activated.

I was asked for a key but was able to skip entering one and proceed with the installation. (There's a button for that.)

The new Win 10 installation was activated online almost immediately.

Perhaps I'm being too literal-minded here. The installer will request a key, but you won't need one. Which is good, because you won't receive one. Activation is based on Microsoft's servers deciding that you're re-installing on the same hardware, presumably based on the hardware hash that the installer sends to the activation, as has been done since XP.

 

OK, since you have everything covered so well, What if anything is your question ?
