1: get a 8gb or bigger USB stick
2: go to microsoft.com/us-en/software-download/windows10
3: download the MediaCreationTool
4: launch the Tool and make the USB stick into a installation media
5: boot the pc from the USB stick and do the install

The method I described is much easier, if Windows 10 is already installed.

But just be careful to backup your important files and folders first.
ok imma do that

This is what I'd do...

1. Backup your personal files.
2. Right-click the start menu and click "Settings".
3. Click "Update & Security"
4. Click "Recovery"
5. Click "Get Started" under "Reset This PC".

Dont do that. This is the worst way to do it

both wipe everything, but who knows if windows actually reinstalled the OS cleanly in the process. doing it from a usb is just as fast and less likely to result in issues. afaik, the only benefit to the reset option is that any previous windows activation will still be in place

^agree the win reset option is just using the installer that’s part of the base version (e.g. 1709 uses 1709 installer) so only time not to use it if you are not yet on 1804 (just use the 1804 usb installer obviously) or if the internal installer has file corruption.

either way is fine but OP asked for a "clean install"

the second method wll lead to a clean install, if the user opts for it.
the first method is just a windows factory reset, so to speak.

It has always worked fine for me. I've used this method countless times across multiple computers and never once ran into an issue.

Yes but you're also going reinstalling an outdated OS when you do it your way.

Do it by making your own Win10 usb flash drive. This way the OS is always up to date and you can be sure the files are clean. By using "Reset this PC" in Win10, the OS could be corrupted to where this does not work or you run into problems because of it.

Install from installer media and you won't have any problems, unless perhaps your installer media is corupted or you have faulty hardware.

> Microsoft's Win10 website > click Download Now > download their tool to C drive
> Connect the USB Flash Drive of choice, ready to be wiped clean
> Right click that MediaCreationTool from C Drive > Run As Admin
> Select USB and go from there.
> Windows 10 > Language you want as the OS default > and 64-bit

The tool will download the entire Win10 ISO to your C Drive and extract it.
Then it will make the USB flash drive bootable, formatted fully, and then copy the extracted contents to it. All without you having technical understanding of all of it. The tool makes it very simple and easy for anyone to do. Once it has completed fully, click OK/Done on the tool. Now you are ready to use that Win10 flash drive on any system you want it on. To use it, boot from it by changing BIOS Boot Order so this USB Flash Drive is 1st.

During a clean install, select CUSTOM, not UPGRADE.
If you already backed up your data off of the OS drive already, and wish to wipe the drive clean, during install, once reaching the drive listing, click Advanced, select each listed partition and then click Delete. Please remember before doing any of this, that you have turned off the PC and disconnected any Secondary Hard Drives before doing this, to avoid any accidents during OS install, such as wiping the wrong drive. You do not have to wipe any drives, but you can if you wish. Once C Drive is wiped clean, you should be left with a single, blank Drive-0. Then click Next to proceed with OS install. The installer will auto partition Drive-0 and format it properly as well. Once OS installer reaches the first reboot prompt, it is safe to unplug the USB flash drive, as it will no longer be needed for the rest of the install. If needed, after this reboot, check that BIOS Boot Order now has your OS Drive as the 1st drive to boot from.

Option 1
No need for clean install.
Use System file checker tool to check if you have any broken or corrupted system files, and it should automatically restore system files for you, like with steam's checking of game integrity.

Option 2
Reformat hard drive
Install a linux distro
Enjoy your happy windows free desktop

SFC /SCANNOW File Checker/Restore has nothing to do with reinstalling WinOS or why you should do that.

1. the only reason why he wants to reinstall windows is because of the frequent crashes. He should just try fixing his current issues first rather than starting from scratch.

2. because windows 10 belong inside the wastebin

BS, it's the user at fault, not the OS. Just go play on your Linux and let us be.
You're not helpful at all.

My bad I was thinking Ubuntu 18.04, 1803 it is lol... So you're good to go.

just be sure to format the USB flash drive as NTFS prior to running the tool. I recently tried to update it with the media creation tool and it failed over and over again because the drive is fat32 by default.
