    Windows 10, clean install, cuts off edges on my monitor


    Only half the task bar is showing, and the left and right sides are also cut off. When it first went through installation it was not like this, then it flickered and is this crap now.

    I tried updating the display driver, already up to date. Tried uninstalling and rebooting the display driver to go to a generic one, nothing, AMD came back.

    I tried the aspect ratios on my TV/monitor, nothing.

    Oh, I even activated the license key.

    I tried adjusting the resolution to every one available, I tried updates, I tried LITERALLY EVERYTHING I found online to no avail. I found threads going back to 2015 with no resolution. WTF is this garbage? What's worse is that it randomly flickers and makes everything gold blurry lines and I have to reboot. What kind of GARBAGE is this that MS made? I only got Windows 10 because Windows 8.1 hard drive failed.



    NOTHING FIXES THIS.

    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.

    Windows 10, clean install, cuts off edges on my monitor

    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.
