Windows 10: Windows 10 PC reset taking longer than expected.

Hello, I'm resetting my Windows 10 PC and it's taking a much longer time than I anticipated. It is steadily increasing in percentage, so I know it hasn't failed. But I was told this would take somewhere in the realm of half an hour to 3/4 hours. It is now taken roughly 9 hours and I'm at 40%. Granted, I do have a large bit of storage, I opted for the full clean option, so would that affect the duration of this? I have about four 500 GB SSDs and one 1 TB hard drive all of which were above 80% full.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

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?
