Clean installation window 10 on an Intel Nuc
Hi everyone,
I need help with this please. This is my situation. I have an intel nuc5i7ryh that runs Window 10 Home. When I first got the nuc, I bought a retail version of Window 7 Home and installed it on the nuc. Then I upgraded to Window 10 Home on 8/2015 and was using the nuc just fine from that day. The nuc has a Samsung 850 Evo in it so I decided to add another drive to it to make one for the OS and the other for data storage. I got the Samsung 950 Pro and used the Samsung Migration Tool to migrate Window 10 from the Evo to the Samsung 950 Pro. Everything worked fine. I was able to boot from the new 950 Pro just fine. I reformatted the Evo to make it a storage drive as I wanted. All worked fine and I was able to use my nuc for couple hours. Things were all good until after I copied some of my folders and files from an external drive to my nuc's desktop. I saved those folders and files to an external files before this migration process and now I just want to copy them back to my nuc. I really not sure what was wrong with it but after I did that, I was no longer to boot from my Samsung 950 Pro again. The nuc does not work any more. When I power it up, it never gets to the window login page. A message pop up saying it attempts to repair the error...but it will never fix it. There are some other advanced options that I can choose but none of the helps. It not lets me to restore or anything. So now I am stuck. I am thinking about a clean re-install of Window 10 on the Samsung 950 Pro. I want to go with a clean installation using the USB (as the instructions in this page https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...load/windows10). Will this approach work ? Or I have to do it the hard way- install the Window 7 on the Samsung 950 Pro, activate, then upgrade to Window 10 ? I am wondering if I can just go with approach 1 and that is it. Or I really need to do it the hard way , approach 2.
Thanks.
