Installation :: (Clean Install) Is Actually Windows Deployment Service

Apr 14, 2016

I have an issue where someone has gained server access / control over my system. I am unable to regain control or even clean install my operating system from OEM windows 10 CD. Currently, when i attempt to re-install what I end up with is a Windows Deployment Service installation. Is there a way to force the installation from CD?

Installation :: Clean Install - Could Not Reinitialize Deployment Engine

Jan 16, 2016

I recently had to restore my PC to a Windows 7 System Image from 2012.

That worked OK, but Windows Update kept failing to install the hundreds of updates needed to bring it up to date.

So I upgraded to Windows 10 instead.

That worked fine and is what I am now using.

I thought I should create and run the Clean Install media in case I need it in the future. I created a DVD as I didn't have a 4GB USB to hand. Was able to boot from the DVD and started the Clean Install process but, after selecting the hard disk partition to use, I got the Windows Setup message 'could not reinitialize the deployment engine'.

What this means and can only find some old references (Vista vintage) on the web. Should I have clicked on 'Format' for the partition?

Installation :: Windows 7 OEM - Upgrade Then Clean Install Dual Boot

Sep 3, 2015

OK, I have Windows 7 OEM Version and want to upgrade to Windows 10 After I get Windows 10 Activated through the upgrade can I...

Clean install Windows 7 (with Original 7 key) and clean install Windows 10 (should automatically activate) to have a dual boot? Or is Microsoft going to block my activation saying you can't have both 7 and 10?

I have a different computer that has a OEM-Builders edition of Windows 7. I don't want Windows 10 on it right now as the software I need to run will not run on it but...

I want to upgrade to Windows 10 just to get the free upgrade and activate then revert back to Windows 7.

Later on down the road a year or so can I install Windows 10 with no problems activating it?

Installation :: Clean Install On A New SSD

Dec 4, 2015

I'm about to do a clean install of Windows 10 pro 64bit on to a new SSD I just received in the mail and wondering how I will be able to activate it? I originally did an upgrade from Win7 Pro to Win10 pro and then a clean install from there back when Win10 pro first became available. I read that I can use the Windows Key on the back of my laptop but I'm not sure that will work because it's a whole new SSD.

Installing New SSD With Clean Windows Install

Nov 9, 2015

When I got my computer in 2012, I used Windows' own mover to move all files and settings over. I didn't know that that was a bad idea, and so ended up with a corrupted profile and some bad settings.

I am finally ready to do something about it.

Here's my setup:

* Windows 10 (which I am loving, by the way)
* Two drives, C and D. C is my boot drive.

I want to format a new SSD drive with a clean Windows 10 install and then replace my existing C drive with that new drive. I know this means I will have to reinstall everything that is on my existing C drive, but I'm fine with that.

Here are my questions:

1. How can I format my new SSD drive with Windows 10 and get it set up as my new C drive? I have a USB connector for the new SSD drive so I can access it from a USB port first; can I use that connection to install Windows on the drive? The new SSD came with software to clone my existing C drive, but of course that is not what I want; I want a clean install to get away from the corrupted install. Can Windows recognize and format a drive connected through a USB port?

2. When I put my new drive C into my computer, how do I tell my computer that I want that to be my boot drive?

3. Once I get the new SSD installed as my new drive C, how do I format my old drive C as a drive E with Windows 10? Again, I am fine with wiping out everything on that drive once I have a new C.

4. I have a lot of programs installed on my D drive and want to keep them there. Will I need to reinstall them? (Again, if so, I'm fine with that.) Or would symlinks work?

Installation :: Got PC To Clean Install Now How To Move To New SSD

Dec 20, 2015

Second PC with Win 7 Pro 32 bit was a struggle...but succeeded in Brinks clean install and activation of 10...but was a real struggle.

Now...how can I transfer the new 10 install on an HDD to a new Sata SSD in the same box ? So far haven't figured out how to make the SSD with an installed image of the new 10 install from HDD to boot from the Sata at PC startup ?

What am I doing wrong...and how do I get the SSD image of my new 10 clean install to boot from the SSD ?

I think it has to do with partitions and active Windows partition but don't remember what/how to change the boot disk to the new SSD....

Installation :: How To Do Clean Install After Upgrade

Jan 30, 2016

I upgraded from Win 7 pro about a month ago hoping that would cure some problems I had with Win 7. It did not and Win 10 is working poorly too. I would like to do a clean install of Win 10 but not sure if I can get the correct Win 10 install file just from my Win 7 pro product key. Is there a download source for that since I have already upgraded to Win 10?

Installation :: Can Upgrade And Then Clean Install With A New HDD

Dec 12, 2015

I'm finally thinking to upgrade from W7 to W10.

Here's the situation at the moment:

1) 256GB System SSD
2) 1TB data HDD
3) 3TB Raid 1 HDD for backup

I want to mount a new 500GB SSD as primary system drive, so I was thinking to use this occasion to put W10 into my machine.

So my question is: Can I update to W10 as it is and then do a clean install changing the primary system drive while keeping the license?

Installation :: Keeps Booting From USB After Clean Install

Aug 2, 2015

I got a HP Notebook yesterday that had Windows 8.1 on it. Today I decided I wanted to reinstall Windows 10 (not upgrade, but clean install) on it and I do have experience in reinstalling operating systems. I reinstalled Windows 10 from a USB stick and when the computer restarted after the installation was done, it would keep booting from the USB stick. I exited the installation screen and then went to the BIOS to change boot priority to "OS Manager", but all I got was an error which I don't remember what it said, and then it just restarted again.

So my question is, how can I get Windows 10 to boot after is has installed and restarted?This is my laptop: HP 15.6 Laptop - Black (Intel Celeron N3050 / 500GB HDD / 4GB RAM / Windows 8.1) : Laptops - Best Buy Canada

Installation :: Upgraded In Old HDD - Now Want To Do Clean Install In New SSD

Aug 1, 2015

I successfully upgraded from Win 8.1 to Win 10 (both Pro 64-bit) in PC's old HDD. Now I want do a clean install on a brand new SSD. I have a few questions before I buy the SSD.

1. First off, is it possible to do a clean install of Win 10 in the new SSD especially after I upgraded from Win 8.1 to Win 10 in the old HDD?

2. If 1 is possible, then at any point do I need to enter the Win 10 license key? I have used a Win 10 license key viewing tool to find out what it is.

3. Should I use the Win 10 Media Creation tool to create the ISO or just download an untouched Win 10 Pro 64 bit ISO, burn it to a DVD and do a straightforward install?

4. What happens to the Win 10 in the old HDD? Does it get deactivated on its own?

Installation :: Can Do Clean Install Of Win 8.1 After Upgrading?

Mar 6, 2016

A year ago I bought a Lenovo Yoga 2 that came with Windows 8.

Unfortunately, I upgraded to Windows 10 several months ago. It has been such a nightmare I want Windows 8 back.

Can I just buy a new copy of Windows 8.1 and clean install it on my laptop? Someone told me once its been upgraded to Windows 10 that I can't do that, but that just doesn't seem right.

I'm not very savvy when it comes to doing a reinstall. I'm not sure what to buy and I want to make sure trying this won't brick my computer. OEM, Full, etc seems like there is so many things to consider when trying to buy just a regular old version of Windows 8.1 ...
