  1. Confused about Secure Boot being Enabled before Win10 clean installs


    I am kind of mixed up and confused and have been given mixed answers on my question here (on different forums).

    I have created a Win10 bootable USB recently with the Media Creation Tool and in the UEFI settings, I enabled Secure Boot. Of course, with Secure Boot being enabled, I cannot boot other OSs like UNIX or Linux or even some third-party repair tools.

    So, in the event that I need to perform a clean install of Win10 again using my USB bootable media, will I have to disable Secure Boot temporarily until the installation process completes?
    Or, will it cause issues if I just leave Secure Boot On and boot Win10 OS from the USB flash drive?

    :)

  2. Delete Free Win10 Home Upgrade file

    I am trying to install a 'clean' Win10 Pro dual boot on my Win7 PC. When I get to the summary page before I click 'install'. it says the installation will be Win10 Home. I think the free win10 download is on my pc and this is confusing the installation.
    Can I delete the Win10 free download to see if this will solve the problem?

    Windows TS Chat has provide two paths to get the Pro software installed, and neither have worked. I keep getting the "Ready to install" summary saying "Install Windows 10 Home" and keep personal files. This appears to be an upgrade, not the clean
    Pro installation I am trying to do. I do not want to click the 'Install' button to see if this is correct or not, because it will install over my Win 7 installation.

    Windows 10 display problems

    I am still confused about doing a "clean install" on windows 10. I am running windows 10 32 bit.

    Everyone says change to windows 10 64 bit. It shows my product id : ***Personal information removed for security purposes.***.

    Someone says that license will not work with a clean install because I will be booting up and installing

    from my current system which is a 32 bit?? CONFUSED..

    Would the following work?

    Create a 64 bit download on usb for another system.

    boot it up and install

    use my product id as my license

    ????

    Windows 10 uefi installs are secure boot compliant, so no need to disable to install or boot from it.
