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.

Clean install of Windows 10 to a new internal SSD?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I understand that you receive blue screen errors. We will help you to resolve the issue.

This issue may arise when, some of the Windows components or applications gets corrupted.

I suggest you to remove all the external devices connected to the computer and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

If the issue persist, please follow the steps given in the link below:

Resolving Blue Screen errors in Windows.

Note: The steps for Windows 8.1 applies to Windows 10 Insider Preview. Back up the files and programs before creating new user account.

If the issue persist, let’s perform a Clean Boot.

A Clean Boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows 8.1, Windows 8,
Windows 7, or Windows Vista. You may also troubleshoot or determine what conflict is causing the problem by performing a clean boot.

Please refer the steps from the link below to perform a Clean Boot:
