If you buy a new PC and wish to perform a crapware-free clean install of Windows 10 as I’ve outlined for previous Windows versions in my Clean PC series, you can use this tool to create USB- or DVD-based Windows 10 Setup media and then clean install the OS on that PC, blowing away your PC maker’s potentially dirty install with a clean version.
While you will typically upgrade electronically using Windows Update and the Windows 10 reservation system, you can also optionally use this tool to upgrade to Windows 10 immediately. During the first year of Windows 10’s availability, anyone running Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 or Windows 8.1 can upgrade for free to this new OS. As with the similar tool for Windows 8.1, this tool is designed for individuals who have acquired Windows 10 in a variety of ways, including: That may not work, but you can achieve a clean install of Windows 10 legally and easily enough.Īs I noted yesterday in Microsoft Delivers Windows 10 on ISO, the availability of a Windows 10 setup media download tool opens up a number of possibilities. With Microsoft issuing ISO media for Windows 10, many people who qualify for the free upgrade are attempting to clean install the OS rather than upgrade.
