Fresh OS installation to my Laptop
My Laptop (HP Spectre X360 - 13-Ae045tu) came up with Windows 10 Pro pre-installed. I want to do a fresh installation of Windows 10 pro. What are the ways to do it?
- If I download ISO of Win 10 from Microsoft site will it be registered/activate in my laptop?
- Is it mandatory to make bootable flash drive to install or fresh installation can be done by mounting ISO file as virtual DVD drive?
- Can I install OS by completely deleting partitions (currently there is System reserve partitions along with C: drive)? If yes, virtual DVD drive procedure will not work, right?
Should I convert the disk from MBR to GPT (as this is the newest partition style)? What is the recommendation?
