    Windows 10 Pro Clean Install filled up my 1Tb Hard Drive


    Hello Everyone,


    In A Nut Shell, I have a 1tb Computer from 2012. I did a Clean install of Windows 10 Pro Over The Weekend. And Now I only have 300 Gigs Of Space Left. Before the Clean install I had 165 gigs left. I thought a clean Version Of Windows Was just what my computer needed. A Fresh Start...The only Option the Clean Install Gave me was "Save Nothing." So I Figured it would delete all files and that I would get a Fresh Start with my Music Library, Photo Library...etc...etc...Apparently I was Wrong...Originally this Computer came with Windows 7...So my Question Is this: Are The Previous Windows OS"s File History, Or saved Files Clogging My Hard drive somehow or is it Something else? How are they Evading Deletion during a Clean install? Any Help Would Be Appreciated..Thank You!!!


    X Eric

    Hello Everyone,

    In A Nut Shell, I have a 1tb Computer from 2012. I did a Clean install of Windows 10 Pro Over The Weekend. And Now I only have 300 Gigs Of Space Left. Before the Clean install I had 165 gigs left. I thought a clean Version Of Windows Was just what my computer
    needed. A Fresh Start...The only Option the Clean Install Gave me was "Save Nothing." So I Figured it would delete all files and that I would get a Fresh Start with my Music Library, Photo Library...etc...etc...Apparently I was Wrong...Originally this Computer
    came with Windows 7...So my Question Is this: Are The Previous Windows OS"s File History, Or saved Files Clogging My Hard drive somehow or is it Something else? How are they Evading Deletion during a Clean install? Any Help Would Be Appreciated..Thank You!!!

    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.

    Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

    As far as I am aware there is no Windows 10 Pro version.
    But I'd be happy to be wrong.
