Once windows 10 is installed and upgraded from the previous version and activated successfully. You will need to make sure that your Windows 10 is activated, before doing a clean install.
I did not perform clean install of Windows 10 after the upgrade. I was facing some lags and FPS drops while playing games. So, instead of clean install, i did reset my pc via "Recovery" option of Windows 10. I selected 2nd option "clean all my where the operating system is installed" and now all stuff is working super duper :)If so how would i go about doing that, would i need to make a flash drive with the windows on it or is there an option with in windows to do so.
As I tried to say, you need to create a flash drive or DVD. There is nothing built into Windows 10 that will do this for you.
Everything you need is laid out here: Windows 10 - Clean Install
I got it guys, i put it on a usb drive and did a clean install right off of the USB stick.
Yes by checking properties of My Computer.
Or you can run this command slmgr /xpr in command prompt.
It does say windows is activated in the system files at the bottom.
I did take a picture of the product id and it does differ from when i was on windows 8.
Even the command prompt way is also telling me it is activated.
