Windows 10: Fresh install of windows 10 after upgrading?

So I have upgraded from W7 to W10.

But there is all kinds of annoying bugs and problems that my friend who did a fresh install doesn't have. So I want to just re-install a fresh W10 rather this upgraded version from W7.

How can i do this now that I already upgraded?

Please provide more information so that the cause of your problem may be diagnosed.



Please restart your computer and allow 20 minutes for the system to run before uploading information required to help me investigate your problem. When examining Event Viewer log files many, not all, problems show in the period immediately after

System Summary. Select File, Export and give the file a name noting where it is located. Click Save.
Files in the txt file format are preferred.Do not place the cursor within the body of the report before exporting the file.The system creates
a new System Information file each time system information is accessed. You need to allow a minute or two for the file to be fully populated before exporting a copy. Please upload the file to your OneDrive, share with everyone and post a link here. If the

Please upload to your OneDrive and share with everyone a copy of your

Fresh install of Windows 10 hangs after update

I have previously used Windows 10 on my machine for about a year. I recently decided to reinstall Windows. The first time I did it, I used the "Reset this PC" option in the Recovery Options menu, which worked ok except windows stopped recognizing my keyboard
and mouse even after several restarts. Then I decided to format my disk and reinstall from usb. Windows installed correctly including the keyboard and mouse. The problem occurs as soon as I check for updates, where it will find and install a number of updates
and drivers. However, once I restart the system will never boot into windows and I just get the spinning circle of dots even after waiting for three hours. I've reinstalled windows several times now and always run into the same issue. On my last attempt, I
used KB3073930 to hide the cumulative update (3206632) but that didn't help either and the computer still hangs when I restart after installing the other updates.

I've also run chkdsk and there were no issues. In case it matters, this is an older machine that I built myself with an i5-2500K and GT240.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Welcome to the board!

To do that you can go to settings -> update and security - > recovery - > Reset this PC.

then follow the prompts.

 

Isn't a reset just setting the settings back to the start? Or will it actually format the SSD and clean install ?

My version is just so broken, music mutes when ever i minimize, and i can't resize tiles on my start menu other than "small" and "medium" yet everyone else has 4 size options. IT all just seems totally broken.

Click on "Show all" under the grey "Note" box. Then at the bottom "How to perform a clean installation of Windows".

Make sure and read this note on that page:

Your PC will activate online automatically so long as the same edition of Windows 10 was successfully activated on this PC by using the free Windows 10 upgrade offer.

You will NOT need or enter a product key. Click the tiny text that says "Skip" or "Do this later".
