In this step-by-step tutorial, learn how to install a fresh and clean copy of Windows 11 on your PC. A clean install means that you completely erase the hard drive and apply a fresh copy of the operating system to your computer. Why would you do this? When you upgrade, some files might get left behind, maybe you have a virus or malware, or maybe you bought your PC Dell or HP and it came with a lot of bloatware. Whatever your reason, it’s quite easy to do.

Thanks for this, i didnt know what to do with different drives or if i wanted to install new ssd if i could install clean windows onto that. This looks super easy. Excited to optimize my out if the box laptops!
I am moving from am4 to am5. I have windows 11 currently on my m.2. Do I need to wipe that m.2 before I boot into my new setup? Or will the clean install replace the older version on that m.2? How do I do a clean install when my m.2 already has windows 11 on it?
I have a lot (five of them) partitions created by windows on my drive. How do I erase all of them, and still be able to select the drive itself (like in your video which only say Drive?). Should I just delete partition after partition (yes backup is done), or is there a better way? =)
I followed these instructions exactly, but I ended up having problems after installation during the setup process. It was not detecting any wifi networks and I found that the wifi drivers were erased when wiping the drives. I had to install the drivers by using a flash drive. Just keep this in mind when following this.
Nice video. I put in the line for the productkey and it left it blank. I have a legal version of windows 10. Please advice.
my mouse is stuck and i dont know what to do
Kevin, if you were resetting your computer and it got stuck and eventually crashed, can you install a new copy of windows 11?
Finally got it from ikeyzone Make sure to include the dot (.) between "ikeyzone" and "org"
I like some of the transitions, but sometimes they're a bit too much and are seemingly random. Since we use these persistent elements that transition across pages to indicate some kind of relationship between the previous and the next states, some of your transitions confuse me because I can't immediately see what the relationship is.
For example 2:23 of the selectable tiles (which weren't selected) transition into being two switches… does that mean anything? are they related in some way? I see this as random and a bad use of the design language. However, at 1:14 I like the transition from switches to the ticks on a paper, that makes sense to me. Epic presentation tho
so would this be deleting data from all my drives or just the one windows is installed in?
ladies and gentlemen, the original voice over voice.
Not straight forward on a HP Pavilion x360
love clean install
theres no way this guy is real, he looks AI and his mouth looks lipsynced lol
I have a windows 10 laptop, I want to use this product key from the laptop and fresh install windows 11 on my desktop PC. If I do this, will this render my windows 10 laptop obsolete? I.e desktop will work fine,but laptop (windows 10) will no longer work as the product key has been used for the desktop, or will they both be fine?Thanks
Can someone help me , I followed the instructions and it was loading. After 3 minutes I'm stuck in my MSI click bios and I've tried nearly every boot option and still stuck in the bios. WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX IT π’
The command in command prompt doesn't show anything for me in Windows 11. Copy & pasted it into CMD.
Does this also work when replacing a ssd?
some one pls tell me if i hit keep nothing option does this mean that my entire hard drive will be erased or just drive c?
my window 11 is not showing the wifi and also the network adapter please help me need my pc for my school π’
why do we have the same product Key?
