Windows 10 Clean Install Guide | The ENTIRE process | How to Install Windows 10

This Windows 10 clean install guide will show you, step by step, how to install Windows 10 by downloading the latest copy from the Microsoft Website to a USB flash drive. You'll end up with a fresh/clean copy of Windows 10 on your PC. I'll show you the entire process without leaving any of the steps out. Sometimes a fresh start is the best way to go!

* This video assumes that you have already backed up all of your data and it assumes that you want to completely erase the PC's hard drive to get a fresh start. I'll use fast-forwarding to zip through the boring parts. Follow this guide for a hassle-free Windows 10 setup.

You are just mind-blowing. After buying a second-hand Laptop, I gave the factory reset with all delete options. After that, everything including Windows also lost. My PC was just a toy. After sawing your video, I tried by my self and I did it. Now, my pc works normally.
I appreciate your help.

One thing you may not have mentioned is removing the thumb drive after install. However, in my defense I physically altered the boot sequence in bios on this Dell. So when it restarted, it asked if I wanted to install Windows. Great post. Got this Apple guy pointed in the right direction.

*Hi sir, I did not only fully enjoy the highly comprehensive video; I also maximally enjoyed your voice! Many thanks, sir!

[biggtrux]

FINALLY! Someone explained it so it made sense. Thank you! Liked and subscribed!

[mrsingluv]

Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks for taking the stress out of finding drivers! Driver booster really helped me out good recommendation! My pc was going through extreme stutters and lags with severe fps drops after waking up from an overnight sleep! A nightmare of a fix for days! Tried everything but a fresh install was the fix! Appreciate your time for making this video!

[tasdidfayed]

This is how every tutorial should be! Concise and easy to understand. Great work! And thank you.

[RobertStolpe]

Took a minute. It took me a while to realize I had to remove the usb before the computer restarted. Grateful. TYVM

You do have a trustworthy look and feel to your videos. You gained another subscriber and like as a result. You keep things pretty straight forward as well which is nice. Thank you Sir!

[frowzone]

Thank you very much! My pc had issues for a very long time and I couldn't get it fixed (disk was running at 100% and tried everything). Your video was easy to follow and a clean install resolved the problem for whatever reason!

[StorybookComet]

This tutorial helped me so much, I have been stuck on a corrupted windows repair loop for so long until I found this. Thank you very much!!!

[TheFleshSeeker]

The process of preparing THE Flashdrive was the most annoying part, my laptop was getting errors so i reinstalled win10 there and they were fixed then I followed this video Thank you <3

[hvgjjtf]

Thank you for the IOBit tip. I had a Device deficiency that nothing else would solve.

Hi Jason. I want to thank you for the video, it's done me good. I didn't have any problem whatsoever and my PC now runs smoothly. I will check your video on how to optimize my PC next. If anyone wants to make a clean reinstall, I recommend deleting every partition so every trace is gone, including drivers.

[MontAsir]

I watched a video and followed the procedure to a video you made along time about NVIDIA drive, Today I came a cross your channel again I remember your face and I straight away trusted you to this installation Thank you so much man god bless you

[eriszkuit]

Thanks Jason! Followed this step by step and it was really helpful and got the job done. I did it yesterday but thought I'd come back and left this comment as a sigh of thank you l. To others - follow this guide! Simple but informative. Btw for anyone watching this comment, 8gb USB should be fine to use.

[TheDecodedMatter]

Thanks for clarifying that windows will create the recovery etc partition by itself. It made me comfortable.

[ulhpilot]

You were doing good until the driver updater app. Launching the install loaded a bunch of garbage on my nice clean install. I recommend sticking with the manufacturers website for driver updates. Anyway, good upload overall. My HDD was crapping out and it wouldn't let me clone it, hence the Win10 clean install.

[yandia]

Thank you for a detailed and clear explanation how to do a clean install of windows. I had an issue where the system stated "Could not find Recovery Environment", so using the windows recovery and reset option didn't work. I tried enabling WinRE using the system command prompt, but the file wasn't found. The steps you showed were not naturally intuitive for me, especially where you showed to delete each partition on the hard drive. But with your video, I was able to reset my laptop with relative ease. Thank you!

[robertroe]

Great video. Not everyone has another pc. If your Internet connection doesn't work, just use a cheap USB wireless connector. Once you've sorted the drivers, remove it.

[walterantonello]

What a great video. Gave me alot of useful tips for reformating and installing windows 10 on an older computer. Thanks.
