I already have Windows 10 installed on my old laptop of course, but i am buying a new Hp Laptop with Windows 10....
After i do the initial set up and register it, i thought it might be a good idea to then do an clean install so that all the manufacturer's bloatware would be removed.... I was wondering:
1) Can i just download and create an iso using the Windows Media Creation Tool and use that to do a Clean Install on the new computer? (and is that the best way to do it?)
2) If so, when doing the install, would i need to do a "Custom" install and delete the previous partitions, or would it automatically overwrite using the new install and create a new CLEAN windows 10 install?
3) Would it be ok to burn the iso while still on my old laptop? I figured it would save some time after i get the new one set-up...
I will burn restore discs of the original system of the new laptop just in case they are ever needed, before doing the clean install, of course....
4)Would there be a way (on the new Windows 10 laptop) that i could actually do the clean install of the system without the bloatware, from the system itself, without having to even bother using the media creation tool?
5) Lastly, is the product key (activation) on new windows 10 computers imbedded in the bios and if so will will that mean the install will not ask me for an activation key?
Thanks :)
