I fear that I may have to do a clean install of windows 10 in order to continue using my current PC as it is still able to support it.

Clean Install Windows 10 Directly without having to Upgrade First

Hi zbook,

Thanks for the link. I appreciate it.

Hi Bree,
That's good to know. I have started to use a thumb drive to download windows 10. Once the download is finished, I shall try to do a clean install and probably will need your assistance regarding any digital licence issue. Hope the process behaving as per your advice. Thanks again.

Hi Bree,

I have successfully installed windows 10. It did not ask for any key input as mentioned by you. Thank you all (Shawn, Mathew, zbook and Bree) for your contributions with this installation. You guys are power.

I was struggling with my problematic windows 7 for 3 days as it suddenly lagged with every click I made until I reinstalled it just to find out that it was unable to update SP 1. Fortunately with the basic working system, I was able to proceed with a clean installation of windows 10 without having to purchase a new OS. Thank you to you all again and have a great week day. God bless.

Hi all, I am back again. Guess what happened? After using Windows 10 for just a day and installing the last update which prompted to restart, I shut it down instead as I was heading for work. The next day when I tried to boot up, it was not successful and prompted me to restart as it was not able to restart properly. I repeated 3 times but to no avail. I tried the given options to repair, trouble shoot and others until it automatically reverted itself back to Windows 7.

I wonder what caused the problem. Could it be the restart step was not carried out instead of shut down and rebooted it the next day? So this morning I tried to reinstall it again but a message prompted that some files are not available to continue the installation. I tried to boot the installation via USB but also couldn't work.

Perhaps I should try the other method mentioned by Shawn to install. What do you all think?

Have you tried clean installation, which will make the following impossible?
