Reinstall win 10 to get rid of HP software
HP HP Pavilion Desktop PC 570-pOXX.
Windows 10 Home (X64) Version 1703 (build 15063.483)
As discussed in previous posts My Win10 does not have dvr burner - Windows 10 Forums I'm having trouble with my new HP Pavilion. It's kinky, will not boot from dvd or usb, does not react to keyboard switches at bootup, and will not burn to dvd. I have lots of good backup of all my programs and settings and am considering cold installation of windows.
I believe the hardware is ok. It's the software thats screwed up. So i have a 2-year old usb of Win 10 ( legitimate) and am thinking of installing it from scratch. As I mentioned, I can't boot from usb -- but I can run the install from within windows. A trial run showed that I could not install and keep my data, I can only install cold.
Is this a reasonable thing to do? Or am I likely to end up with a $400 boat anchor?
