To reinstall Windows 10, first download the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft’s official website using another computer. Use it to create a bootable USB drive with the Windows 10 setup files.

Plug the USB into your PC and restart it. Enter the BIOS and set the USB drive as the first boot device. Once the Windows setup loads, choose “Custom: Install Windows only.” Delete the existing partitions on your main drive if you’re doing a clean installation, then proceed with the install.

After installation, go through the basic setup steps like language, account name, and privacy settings. If Windows 10 was previously activated on your PC, it will automatically activate again once online.

When you’re on the desktop, connect to the internet and let Windows install updates and drivers. For best results, install drivers manually from your PC manufacturer’s website if needed.
