Some questions regarding clean installation of Windows 10
I have looked at this guide:
Windows 10 - Clean Install - Windows 10 Forums
But I am still a bit confused regarding the part to choose "where you want to install Windows 10"
When at the screen showing you the different hard drive partitions, I still have no idea what to do. Should I only reformat the part where I am going to install Windows 10 on, or should I delete every partition until I get 1 unallocated drive? Which is better? What are the consequences of both options? What actually happens in both situations? How do I re-create my recovery D: - partition afterwards, if I choose the second option I mentioned? (I have backed up all files from my D-partition, but not really sure how to re-create it when it's deleted.
Also, will my computer name stay? For example: When I first bought the computer I had to give it a name, like "PC-1", will that name be gone? (will it become unrecognized for software, like I'm talking about in the next question)
The question regarding the name can be connected to the following question...:
I have an Office 365 license activated on the computer (on the site, it says it's activated on "PC-1") which I want to perform a clean install on. Do I have to deactivate it first, or can I just keep it like that and reïnstall it without having license-problems? When doing a clean install, will it "forget" my "PC-1" and so will it cause conflicts with my activation of Office 365?
