Hope this has not been asked before.
I have the Windows 7 disc which I purchased and since then have upgraded to Windows 8 & 8.1 via the Windows Store.
When Windows 10 is released I'd like to do a fresh install. Does anyone know if this will be possible or would I have to buy Windows 10?
Thanks

You don't need anything for a clean install, just don't use it as your main OS or you could have some problems.Hope this has not been asked before.

I think he's talking about the RTM.. and will there be an ISO for that.You don't need anything for a clean install, just don't use it as your main OS or you could have some problems.
I'd say there would pretty well have to be, even though you can upgrade online, something can always go wrong and eventually you need a disk.I think he's talking about the RTM.. and will there be an ISO for that.
Yes - I did say 'when it is released'.
Although an ISO is stated, I cannot find anywhere that says you can do a clean install. Maybe this will become
known later in the year??
Read the link I posted.. that's what it says.. we will get ISO downloads.I'd say there would pretty well have to be, even though you can upgrade online, something can always go wrong and eventually you need a disk.
So does using an ISO alwaysoffer a clean install? If so, may thanks.
Yes.. I would burn the ISO to a DVD and perform the clean install of the OS.So does using an ISO alwaysoffer a clean install? If so, may thanks.
HTH
Not always, sometimes they have to detect a previous eligible OS.So does using an ISO alwaysoffer a clean install? If so, may thanks.
