Clean install on a pre-installed windows 10 laptop (partitions)
Hi everybody,
The reason I am seeking your help today is that I'm trying to do an clean install on my freshly bough Asus Zenbook UX330UAK which came with a pre-installed windows 10 loaded with bloatware.
Now I know that it's touchy to mess with windows 10 pre-installed laptops because of OEM's partitions and stuff.
So here I am trying not to mess it up with I hope you help.
Basically all I need to know is how to manager the partition part.
Right now on my SSD I got 4 partitions
- Partition 1 : System
- Partition 2 : MSR
- Partition 3 : OS
- Partition 4 : Recovery
I read stuffs like you have to be very careful with pre-installed windows 10 laptop because of UEFI settings stored by the OEM. That if you happen to delete them your laptop won't boot anymore on UEFI mode and you'll have to swith your BIOS to legacy, do a BIOS install of windows ... bref, problems
I want to avoid that.
I read online that I should delete System, MSR and OR then create a new partition and install windows on it. During the installation profess windows will create new system and MSR partition. Right or not ?
I just need someone to shed some light on this for me.
Thanks in advance :)
