How To Install Fresh Windows 10
Andre,
Fantastic commodity. Very clear. Yet, I'1000 having a problem that is not addressed in your step-by-step guide.
I successfully get to the step right before the OOBE. My PC boots again only goes back to the DVD which is still inserted. And then, I get the prompt to Press any cardinal to reboot from CD or DVD. Doing so gets me back to the setup on the DVD for another install. Non hitting any key causes my PC to just stop.
Is the media supposed to be removed prior to this concluding reboot?
Dennis
[UPDATE] Success. By a combination of doing a PC Cleanup then removing the DVD just afterwards the final setup step, I'm able to boot into the Tech Preview and finish setting up accounts, etc. I'yard up and running now.

Strange, what is your default boot device in the BIOS, hd or DVD?
Effort making your hard disk be the default boot device in the BIOS and come across if allows you to boot into Windows 10 without going into setup again.

I'm not sure what you mean by "default boot device". My boot order is DVD so hard bulldoze. If I make the hard drive commencement then I cannot kick from the DVD to become the install started.
The difficult drive had an onetime Windows 8.0 system on it. When I tried to install a bunch of updates, I could no longer boot from the hard drive. That'due south when I decided to merely scrap 8.0 and try Win 10.
But I'k non sure that's my problem. If I pull the DVD and endeavour to boot off the hard drive I become this error, in plain text on a blackness background:
A disk read mistake occurred
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
When I practice that, I get the aforementioned thing over again.

If you are in the OOBE for Windows 10, why would you need to be booting from the Windows 10 install media again except for installing Windows 10 again?
What you said:
I successfully get to the footstep correct before the OOBE.
This is right earlier the OOBE:
When this phase of setup is complete, Windows will automatically restart and reboot into setup again.
Which means, all necessary files would have already been copied from the disc to facilitate the installation.
Do you have more i hard disk installed in your computer?
Practice you have external storage devices attached to the system?
If you do, disconnect them before running setup.

Andre, I'm non in the OOBE. Every bit I said, and yous quoted, I'm in the stride earlier where I run into the "Windows needs to restart .." message. Merely considering my DVD player is first in line in my BIOS, instead of booting to my hard bulldoze which now has the Tech Preview on it, the PC boots back to the DVD with the install ISO on it.
But, as I said in the update to my first post above, I was able to pull the DVD in time so my PC booted to the hard drive. I at present accept the Tech Preview running.
Thanks for the article and your help.
Dennis

Andre:
Thanks for writing this up. Disappointed to hear that I cannot employ the upgrade to do a clean install initially. Hope that changes, but probably won't hold my breath.. ;-)

Well, I have a question:
I did the free upgrade of my Windows 7 and now want to reinstall Windows ten using a make clean install. I'm a bit anxious from nature so I first looked up whether my installation of Win10 is activated and which production fundamental is used.
And that'due south the foreign role:
When I utilize the MGADiag.exe tool to check genuinity of the installation it shows me a key that ends exactly like the Windows 10Insider Preview Central. More curious:
Using a 'central extractor vb-script':
Ready WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Crush") MsgBox ConvertToKey(WshShell.RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\DigitalProductId")) Function ConvertToKey(Key) Const KeyOffset = 52 i = 28 Chars = "BCDFGHJKMPQRTVWXY2346789" Do Cur = 0 x = 14 Do Cur = Cur * 256 Cur = Key(ten + KeyOffset) + Cur Key(x + KeyOffset) = (Cur \ 24) And 255 Cur = Cur Modernistic 24 x = x -i Loop While x >= 0 i = i -1 KeyOutput = Mid(Chars, Cur + i, 1) & KeyOutput If (((29 - i) Mod 6) = 0) And (i <> -ane) Then i = i -1 KeyOutput = "-" & KeyOutput End If Loop While i >= 0 ConvertToKey = KeyOutput End Function
I got fifty-fifty some other key which is neither my Win7 key nor the Insider Preview key.
[Update]I now upgraded a 2nd Windows7 license too and information technology has the aforementioned key when extracted, seems to be generic[/Update]
What central should I put in when I'm prompted to activate Windows 10 later on the clean install?
I DID Not employ a Microsoft Account - and I won't be persued to practise and so.

Instead of publishing a new article, how nigh answering the questions?
Afaik:
When I upgrade to Win10 my Hardware-Setup is recorded in a MS DB and connected with a free license for Win10.
What, when my hardware changes? Yeah there'due south much information about that but only from 3rd-party. Do I need to practice the upgrade once more? What if my hardware changes AFTER the one yr after the release? Do I still get the free upgrade? If not, tin can I at least use my 'old' Windows which I earlier used to upgrade to Win10 or is the license not valid anymore (you say one can only 'go back' 30days lonng).
How'south all that with Germany: Here a hardware-change afaik cannot 'invalidate' the license. And so: Do *we* get Win10 for free on all devices?
All questions not take been answered by MS Officials.
This, well, is quite sh*t.
