  1. Clean install of Windows 10 20H2 onto existing Windows 10 19H1 NVMe drive


    Dear All,

    I currently have the following setup:

    AMD Ryzen 7 3700X

    Gigabyte X570 Aorus Xtreme

    NVMe slot 1 - Sabrent Rocket 2TB NVME 4.0 boot drive shown in RAIDXpert2 Array 3 System Boot drive

    NVMe slots 2 & 3 - addlink 2TB NVMe 3.0 pair in RAID 1

    SATA slots 0, 1, 4, 5 - Seagate 4TB x 4 as RAID 10

    Disc Manager sees the setup as:

    Disc Manager which suggests to me, as it has an EFI partition, this is a GPT configured drive and this is confirmed when I use Paragon Hard Disk Manager 17 Advanced


    I am currently running Windows 10 Pro Build 18362.19h1_release.190318-1202

    I have been consistently unable to update to either 2004 or now 20H2 and all routes suggest a clean boot of 20H2 from a thumb drive


    I have downloaded Windows 10 Pro 20H2 onto a thumb drive that, when inserted into a USB 3.0 slot is accessible and starts the Windows 10 boot process


    When I attempt to select the partition that has 1861.93 GB space available the Windows Boot process suggests I cannot boot to the partition as it is not a GPT partition


    Any thoughts on where I can go from here or why this might be happening would be gratefully received

    :)

  3. 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.

    Clean install of Windows 10 20H2 onto existing Windows 10 19H1 NVMe drive

    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?
