Windows 10: Clean Install Windows 10 1909 18363.836 - something went wrong?

Greeting fellow forum people;

I have done a clean install of windows 10 on my pavilion p6540y desktop. Ever since, I've been having some strange slowness and it crashes and I get the blue screen-of-apology and a note saying "we are gathering information" and a restart. Sometimes I go through several restarts, but then finally it seems to run correctly, at least for a while. But also, this computer has been trying to download and install the update to 2004, and it keeps failing. What could have gone wrong? When I was first trying to re-install windows, several times the program told me my computer was missing an important driver. On the third time, I didn't get this warning and it went ahead and installed. But something is wrong. Any ideas?

I have wondered if the drivers for the HDD need updating, but WD is not showing a driver update for this HDD (Caviar Blue WD5000AAKS). I've run tests but so far everything tests okay.

Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

As far as I am aware there is no Windows 10 Pro version.
But I'd be happy to be wrong.

 

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

Here's a good step by step guide on doing a fresh install.

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.
