  3. Cannot boot or reinstall windows, or wipe drive

    Hi anelson0528,

    I'm Paul, a Microsoft Community Member. I hope I can help you with your concern.

    Please try to use Diskpart to wipe the Disk drive. Refer to the steps below.

    1. During the Windows 10 setup, press Shift + F10 keyboard shortcut to open Command Prompt.

    2. When Command Prompt opens, enter diskpart and press Enter.

    3. Now enter list disk and press Enter.

    A list of all available hard drives will appear. You need to select the disk that you want to wipe.

    4. Enter select disk 0 and press Enter.

    5. Enter clean and press Enter.

    6. Optional: Use convert gtp or convert mbr command to convert your drive to the desired type.

    7. Enter exit and press Enter.

    Close Command Prompt and try to install Windows 10 again.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted.

  4. Reinstall windows 11 on another drive and wipe everything

    reinstall after upgrade

    I have a Surface Pro that originally had Windows 8.1 Pro. I have installed the free Windows 10 upgrade, but I now want to reinstall it. I want to completely wipe my hard drive and install Windows 10. I know this can be done, but I need a list of steps to
    get everything necessary to reinstall Windows 10 (including exporting settings & preferences) and how to wipe my hard drive. Are there any good places to get a good detailed list of steps to do these things? Thanks.
