Subject: Wipe the hard drive and reinstall Win 10




BACK UP ALL YOUR PERSONAL DATA, PHOTOS, ETC BEFORE YOU TRY THIS - EVERYTHING will be erased doing these procedures.

The best way is to format the hard drive and re-install Windows 10, directly from Micro$oft. That way you will get a clean, no-nonsense install. Because your laptop already has Win 10, your computer is guaranteed for it's lifetime to have Windows 10...it's "entitled". Thus, Micro$oft keeps track of your license numbers, so you don't need to write it down.

Simply create a "Windows Media Creation" tool - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/15088/windows-10-create-ins...

From there, you can re-install Win 10.

Enjoy.


NOTE on a similar subject - Users of "Chromebooks" enjoy a simple, one-touch means of doing a "refresh" which does all of the above, wipes the hard drive and installs a fresh, no-nonsense copy of Chrome's operating system.

AGAIN, BACK-UP BEFORE REINSTALLING OR REFRESHING!
