    Doing a Fresh Re-Installation of Windows 10 Questions


    I use Microsoft Windows 10 Home as my operating system. I am finishing up graduate school. After I am done with school, I plan to wipe my computer clean and start fresh with the operating system. I have used the Reset PC options in the Settings section in the past, but I want to start completely fresh. I understand that I can also reset my computer by doing a clean installation of Windows 10 which unlike the Reset PC, removes everything. If the clean installation of Windows 10 is the best option to start fresh on my computer, how do I carry out this process and what links would I go to to download the necessary software and instructions to carry out the process?


    On a secondary note, I have two internal HDD hard drives that I wish to wipe as well. Windows 10 is located on my SSD. Is there an alternative way that Windows 10 can wipe those HDDs without having to use the Windows Reset PC option?


    Thanks.

    :)

    Fresh installs do it too, in fact i have had the same bs happen. Might be suggested apps which you can turn off.

    Does doing a fresh install make a difference

    Ok my question is does it matter if i do a fresh install of Windows and if it makes a difference. I have a HDD that has Windows 8.1 Pro on it from my last 8350 and i7-4770 build with majority of all my games and files that i was just going to use with my recent build under my system specs. I do plan to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro but I'm at ends thinking if it's worth doing a clean install.
