    If I do a clean install of windows 10 from installation media, can I still recover files...


    I've been having weird problems with windows on my computer for a while now, I have tried resetting and refreshing windows but it keeps failing, so it seems I have to reinstall from installation media, I have already burnt a dvd with build 2004 and know how to reinstall, but I'm concerned about something, I created a file backup not image backup with the files I want to keep, but I don't know how I would restore this file backup on a reinstalled windows, can you restore the files from a file backup of a different installation to a new installation of windows.


    Thank you,

    :)

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?

    Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

    I have bought a legit "Windows 10 Pro" key of a key website. It is legit since i'm currently using it for over a year now. I currently have Windows 10 Pro installed on my PC and I want to do a clean install. I just can't find the windows 10 Pro download in the tool. But if i could use a windows 10 pro key with a normal windows 10 install, I'll be good to go.
