I've windows 10 installed on my laptop, I'd installed a free edition with a product key available. Due to migration of many software from windows 7 to windows 10, my machine is not working as expected, many software are not running properly and performance is not up to.

I want to install a fresh copy of windows 10, wiping out everything.

I tried the inbuilt option to install (Recovery -> Reset this PC), however this didn't help, it stopped giving some strange errors.

What is the best approach to do this, retaining the license/product key?

  • Please include those "Strange errors", if possible, which might articulate the question to be understandable and problem can be detected based on those things – ViNk Oct 26 '17 at 10:46
  • Boot to installation environment. Delete all partitions, install Windows 10, Windows 10 will automatically activate. When asked for a product key skip that step. I have numerous other answers that go into more detail on the activation process of Windows 10.
