Windows 10: Clean Install of Windows 10 including Anniversary Update

I have a problem after installing the Anniversary Update of Windows 10. This post concerns the process which involves a clean re-install of Windows 10 by the method which includes downloading and running Microsoft's Media Creation Tool, choosing "Create Media for another PC". This downloads an ISO of Windows which, when put on a USB stick, can be used to boot the computer and clean-install Windows 10 (no license key required because Windows 10 was already running, although I have my license key.) I am told that this produces a "very clean" install which would clear any glitches in the previous install. Programs would need to be re-installed.

My question please: assuming that the Media Creation Tool will be downloaded after the Anniversary Update was installed, will it produce a Windows 10 + Anniversary Update version ?

Thanks for any help.

PS: I wasn't able to create a Macrium System Image which would include the Anniversary Upgrade because my problem occurred immediately after the Update. If you are interested in what that problem is, go to:

Is Windows Anniversary Update included in Windows Media Creation Tools or not?

I would like to do clean installation to my windows and downloading Windows 10 via Media creation tools.

I would like to know that the anniversary update is included in the installation file or not?

 

Is possible to do Clean Install the Anniversary update of Windows 10

Hey Jaya, Yes you can. The installation media has been updated to windows 10 to the anniversary update. Once you download the in media install media creation tool you can convert your flash drive to bootable media or create .ISO
File. Once you created either both you can easily clean install Windows 10 anniversary update. If you experience any issue a page exists on the web which has elaborated How
to Clean Install Windows 10 Anniversary Update

 

I used the MCT tool this morning and i can assure you its the 14393 build. You will find some windows updates waiting at the end of it.

 

Thanks for the quick reply.

The number for my present install (the problem one, downloaded via Windows Update) is 1607. Is that the same as 14393 build?

I have thought of another question: I know I will have to reinstall all my programs, but what about drivers etc. etc. for other things like the Internet modem, network LAN driver, printer, monitor etc., which would be a huge bind. This being a clean install would I need to get all these?

EDIT: Italic text added.

 

I'm popping in for a second (hope you don't mind), because I don't know if 14393 is the Anniversary included version either. I have all the same questions as Stevekir, as I need to do a "clean install" and don't know how much will need to be reinstalled. I've never had a system that started from scratch before.
