    Clean installing Windows 10 on a PC SSD with GPT partition


    Hi! I'm planning to do a clean install of Windows 10 on my malfunctioning PC it already came with Windows 10 and is now more than a year old. I've backed up all my personal files and researched about the process, but I remain confused. I have a few questions that I hope someone could clear up for me.In creating the installation media: is it better to download it directly to a USB flash drive or use another app e.g. Rufus to make sure it's compatible and bootable for my PC?I saw others were unable to clean install Windows 10 on a GPT partitioned drive. How can I make sure this doesn't happe

    Windows 10 clean install mess up partitions?

    I had no issues upgrading from your exact OS Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit to Windows 10. All my partitions from 2 SSD's and 3 HDD's were fine. Windows 10 even kept the custom names I have for the various drives. A clean install on your SSD shouldn't affect your 2TB drive.

    Partition SSD during windows 10 install

    I'm assembling a new PC and running a fresh windows 10 install. I'd like to know how to partition the ssd into 2 separate partitions during the windows install (I'm using a bootable usb drive to install Windows).

    I want to know if I need to input specific settings for those partitions or if it's all automatic?

    I need one partition for Windows on and another for my documents. The ssd has 960gb size.

    So I'm guessing it has about 60gb over-provisionning. I could leave out a bit more, but it probably doesn't matter that much
