xarzu Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I got locked in one of those update loops. You know what I mean, probably. My Windows 10 would start an automatic update, then fail, and then reset itself to a previous version. This would happen all of the time. I managed to use one of the methods on this link to successfully do an update: https://www.alphr.com/microsoft/1001411/how-to-fix-windows-update-in-windows-10-if-it-becomes-stuck-1 Now, here is the reason why I am making this post. In case I want to ever do a completely fresh reinstall of Windows 10, I want to know how to do this because the CD (DVD, maybe?) and all I have is the ("OEM"?) sticker with the associated ID numbers.

greenhillmaniac Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Just use the Media Creation Tool provided by Microsoft here to either create a DVD or USB flash drive with the installation files. Then all you need to do is boot from the device of your choosing and follow the instructions provided here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xarzu Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 As I type this, I am creating the UBS drive thanks to your link. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
