Windows 10: How to delete "Select a device to restore from" when I do a fresh install of Windows 10 or 11

Hi, I have seen and read numerous questions but never seen an answer that actually works.When I do a fresh install of windows and I sign in with my Microsoft account I get shown a list of previous installs to restore from. I NEVER want to do this.They are not system restore points on my pc. They are not "Devices" I can delete from my Microsoft Account. How can I remove this data from Microsoft Servers.Many thanks in advance.

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

Here's a good step by step guide on doing a fresh install.

"reboot and select proper boot device" after fresh install

I understand your logic.
But that is not what is happening.
See.



It simply won't go.

On the other hand, if I take this path... brings me to W10 from where I'm posting *Smile

 

Restoring Windows 10 Image using Macrium Reflect


In addition to the above. Here's my suggestion in step by step.
I assume you have Macrium Installed in your current HD and already made a backup copy.

1. Connect your new HD via USB port and boot up.
2. Run Macrium, click on Restore tab then select the Backup Image that you made to restore
3. click on "select a different target disk" then select your new HD as destination
   
   
   
4. Proceed to restore then Shutdown and disconnect the old HD and replace with the new HD
5. Boot up with your new HD.
