Windows 10: Start Fresh Tool for Windows 10

Tried the Start Fresh Tool to get a clean install on my Windows 10 PC and the got the message saying there was a problem and "...we're unable to run this tool on your PC."

The error code was 0x80072F76-0x20016.

Windows 10 was an upgrade from Windows 8.1 on the PC.

Any idea how to get the clean install accomplished?

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

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

Windows 10 Snipping Tool on Windows 7

All it is is one extra step beyond what is native to windows 10. Yes, technically it would be easier to have the functionality of print built in to the Windows 7 version, but you just have to save it ,and right click on it ,and print.

As far as getting the windows 10 version into windows7. I know there was a way to get the old winpaint, so maybe there's a way to get the snipping tool into 10, I don't know.

im curious if i could compress, and upload the application to this post? 7zip doesnt seem to be allowed

 

Fresh start tool

What is the difference between a fresh start and a reinstall? Will the fresh start tool preserve installed applications?
