    All of the members where would disagree that "this is not advised so" if the user wants to do the clean install. If the user wants to start fresh, we DO recommend and DO advise they do the clean install. It is also a false statement that "you will to activate it". As long as the same version of Windows 10 (IE: Home or Pro) is re-installed on the same computer (motherboard), Windows 10 will activate itself when it connects to the internet.
