Do you mean the yellow triangles below?
If you have got the correct drivers, you will not see the yellow triangles.
What network adapters are you using?

Hi Matthew,Do you mean the yellow triangles below?

I ran the clean install, but it got stuck at the "I don't have internet" (page 20 in the tutorial).
Shawn suggested to push on through. The clean install finished and created a local account but I
could not connect to the internet. I checked the drivers under "network adapters" and could find
nothing out of place. At that point I looked at other driver categories and I found that there
were 2 drivers with yellow warning triangles. They were in a category named "other devices".
One of those drivers was for network access. I ran "update driver" on that driver and that
is when the clouds parted and everything just plain worked. And, of course that cleared
the warning triangle for that driver. The second triangle was for speakers, and another update fixed that.
So there are no yellow triangles now.
Let me know if not clear.
Thanks for your interest.

Pardon me for asking these questions if they sound dumb or were already asked. (The replies date back 6 yrs)Usually, you would want to have all disks other than the OS drive disconnected when doing a clean install to avoid something being done to the other disks by mistake.
Brink not only said in reply #470 about preventing something that could happen to the other drive, but also in the tutorial. Some questions came up.
I have a NVMe SSD where I will do the clean install of Windows. I also have a second internal HDD just used for personal files, backups, and other stuff.
Are we talking about disconnecting the internal HDD here inside the enclosure ? The thought made me pause about this.
The other concern with this OEM machine received from the factory regarding the PCle based SSD is it was set in RAID mode by the factory. According to Intel's site about Rapid Storage Technology driver, they say the driver supports NVMe devices. In my boot menu, it shows the Controller Type in RAID mode is NVMe. The storage controllers in Device Manager (in RAID mode) are the Intel Chipset SATA /PCle RST Premium Controller (and also the Microsoft Storage Spaces Controller).
So if I choose to leave BIOS set up in RAID mode before doing the clean re-install of Windows, would the current config be more apt to install every OS file on the primary partition of the SSD where I won't have to be concerned that Windows will try to do something on the HDD ?
Last question. The tutorial in step 14 talks about Windows 10 20H1. So naturally it raised an eyebrow since it hasn't been released to the average Joe. What does this all mean where Windows is installing the partitions order differently with 20H1? My current partitions are and will be the same after a clean re-install using 19H2 installed from MCT. I'm not seeing what MS's reason is to do that.
Thanks. Sorry for sounding longwinded
Hello,
While not required, it's just recommended to disconnect (unplug data cable) any hard disk that is not an OS drive before installing Windows 10. This is done to prevent Windows Setup from using any part of a separate disk for say a recovery or boot partition by mistake depending on how the disks are configured. It will not hurt anything to do this since they would only be data drives, and you would be connecting them back after Windows has finished installing.
Correct. At step 14, the Recovery partition will be created last when clean installing Windows 10 starting with Windows 10 20H1. This was done to make it easier to remove the recovery partition if wanted later and extend back into it.
I used a Windows 8 pro key to upgrade Windows 10 to pro, what happens if I do a clean install of Windows 10?
Hello mate,
If the Windows 8 Pro key activated Windows 10 Pro, then you should now have a digital license for Windows 10 for this computer on Microsoft's activation servers.
If you link this digital license to your Microsoft account, it should help make sure Windows 10 Pro gets activated when you set up Windows 10 with the same Microsoft account during the clean install.
Link Microsoft Account to Windows 10 Digital License
When I upgraded from home to pro, I did it with a local account and then later created a MS account, but I cannot sign in with the MS account from settings even though I can do it online or MS store. It simply pops up a blank window and closes it immediately.Hello mate,
