Hi people I cannot do a planned Clean Install this LATEST Update Arrived 2 days ago and from what I gather it's a shot Duck..is it really Faulty? because of the issues I have with this Keyboard - Sticky Keys,caps lock, Num Lock, USB not recognised today but fine tomorrow, Bluetooth Dev mang check out but I cannot get my Tablet to talk to mu Phone etc will make this nightmare *Confused every clean Install I have ever done has been a crazy passwords are horrendous I have copies all over the place The first DELL Desktop (I' had 2) was 3 weeks in the box on the floor before they figured out it was repetedly F12 to get in to UEFI this still the SAme still the same today? Before I talk myself outta this*Huh

Should I ReBoot and let this new version Just Install as normal and hope for the best and create a Bootable from it OR, Delete itand create another Bootable USB with this version i am Running now 20H2 (OS Build - 19042.746)

I hope that if this clean Install Goes well, the major issues I have mentioned above should be fixed

Matthew- at no time did I suggest it was necessary. I gave that as an example purely to emphasis the point a clean install can be done at any time, independently of the preceding installtion.

Do you now see that?

 

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.
