 How To Clean Install Windows 10 From ISO File (Without USB/DVD)

The performance of the Windows operating system degrades over time. The best solution to get Windows up and running again quickly is to either reinstall Windows 10 or create a transparent process by deleting files, settings, and programs you installed.

Usually, when a user installs or re installs Windows, he prepares a bootable device and then uses it to install/reinstall the Windows operating system on.

You do not need to clean and reinstall Windows 10 or store a bootable USB Windows 10 . You will just need a Windows 10 ISO, which you can download from Microsoft with the help of the official media tool.

Click the Skip button when you are prompted to enter the product key during the product installation process. If you install the same version of Windows 10 that you activated on your existing PC using the free upgrade program, your PC will be automatically activated after Windows 10 is installed.

However, if you upload install Windows 10 to another PC or a newly created PC, you need to enter the correct product key.
