Windows 10 and 11 users can perform clean installs using built-in reset feature or bootable media

Windows 10 and 11 users can perform a clean install by using the "Reset this PC" feature. This option wipes the system drive and installs a fresh copy of Windows. Users can choose to keep files or remove everything, with the latter recommended for a complete reset. If "Reset this PC" fails, users can create bootable media using the Media Creation Tool or Ventoy. These methods allow for a clean installation from a USB drive, ensuring all previous data is erased. Users should delete existing partitions for a truly clean setup. After installation, users will need to reinstall applications and settings. Tools like PatchMyPC or Ninite can help streamline this process. The clean install process is straightforward but may take several hours to complete.
