  1. How to completely remove windows?


    So I have 2 drives, 1 SSD where I have my current windows installed that i use everyday, and 1 HDD where I had windows 10 installed previously. Ive cleaned and organized both drives to fit my uses but there's one thing bothering me, that my old HDD still has windows installed, and I cant seem to be able to remove that folder or the "trusted installer" protected folders in the old programfiles. What can I do? Is there a way to uninstall windows without formatting the drive?

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.


    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond How to completely remove windows? :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
      Code:
      net user test /del
