Learn to make a new step in Windows 10! Ever wondered how to reinstall Windows 10 without all the programs that are often pre-installed by ASUS, HP or ACER?

You may know it. You buy a new desktop computer or laptop and when you start Windows 10 you see that a lot of external software has been installed by the supplier of the computer. This software is also called bloatware.

There are several reasons to make a fresh start in Windows 10. Bloatware is one, but you may also experience problems with Windows 10.

For example, Windows 10 is very slow, the battery no longer lasts as long as before or Windows 10 no longer wants to update. Whatever the problem, a fresh start can be the solution.

Since the Windows Creators update, Windows 10 has included the option to reinstall Windows 10 without bloatware. This feature is called “Fresh Start” and in this article I am going to explain to you how you can use this feature to reinstall Windows 10 with Fresh Start.

  1. After this last screen "Your PC is being updated" I get a number of selection screens, and whichever option I choose... it restarts to the old Windows version, the Microsoft tool with the same function also freezes, anyone have any ideas?
