Re: Is it worth it to do a clean install of windows with a new laptop? That was not misgendering, stop playing that card for no reason. I wrote that without even realizing at first, and that was never the intention. If I knew you, you could say that, but I have absolutely no reason to do that.Now, for the real topic at hand, maybe I didn't do research, but I did use the option we are talking about. You have a choice of how much exactly you want to delete, and if you choose to delete everything, you are doing exactly the same thing you'd be doing when reinstalling Windows, the only downside being that you can't repartition your harddrive for obvious reasons.

Re: Is it worth it to do a clean install of windows with a new laptop?
Re: Is it worth it to do a clean install of windows with a new laptop? Did I not just say that it deletes *personal* data? Since when did drivers ever fall under that umbrella? Say what you will about drivers for custom hardware or what have you, but OEM drivers will almost always count here. And, I dunno, maybe you have personal files in your windows / system32 folders? I personally don't though.Like, seriously, shut the fuck up and do some research. You have no idea how little patience I have right now. Also how little I appreciate being misgendered.

Re: Is it worth it to do a clean install of windows with a new laptop? @18, it *doesn't* reinstall. At best it takes system files from the ISO and replaces them as necessary, it won't touch drivers, nor will it do anything with the rom. Bloatware, among other issues, will still very much exist. This is plain misleading.

Re: Is it worth it to do a clean install of windows with a new laptop? You did try that, right? Because in Windows 10, it's just like a reinstall. As someone already said, in the latest updates, it even allows you to pull the Windows image from the cloud and reinstall using that.

Re: Is it worth it to do a clean install of windows with a new laptop?
Re: Is it worth it to do a clean install of windows with a new laptop? Yeah, do it via USB stick. Narrator starts with ctrl+win+enter, if I recall. Drivers will almost certainly be fine. It's almost always worth it and takes an hour at most, most of which you'll just leave it in the corner while you get lunch.

Re: Is it worth it to do a clean install of windows with a new laptop? Yep, it'll get all the drivers, but if you just use reset and it gets its data from the recovery partition, then all the bloatware comes right on back. That's why we recommend the USB stick method.

Re: Is it worth it to do a clean install of windows with a new laptop? It’s a Dell, if that helps.

Re: Is it worth it to do a clean install of windows with a new laptop? Well that depends on the manufactorer of your machine and how much bloat ware they put in their initial windows images.Generally I'd say it's a good idea to do so to have a clean slate without any programs or things you might not need.Just prepare a bootstick, start the windows setup from within the system or set the stik as the primary boot device in the uefi, activate Narrator when the setup has started and then follow the promts with setting up everything, formating the hdd and what not.You gotta have a registration key though which, if I might say so, can be picked up quite cheap at reseller sites if you don't have one already.Greetings Moritz.
