Windows 10: clean installation of windows 10 64

I have single hard disk in my laptop with two partition Drive C and Drive D, if I do clean installation of windows 10 will it erase data from all partition or just the C drive?

How to save data on Drive D during installation?

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.

Windows 10 clean install.

Greetings,

My computer is 64 bit but I was running Windows 7/ 32 bit.

Using the free upgrade I installed Windows 10 / 32. I would like to do a clean install of Windows 10/64. Can you please confirm that the following steps are correct?

• I need to install Clean Windows 7/ 64 bit (I have the original Windows 7 OS disc) (totally wipe everything)
• Download the Windows 10 64 bit and install it. Download Windows 10

Can you please confirm that:

• This is correct
• This will protect my free upgrade.
• I can use the Windows 7 product key for new Windows 10 installation. If not where would I get the Windows 10 free product key.

Thanks
