Windows 10: Install fresh copy of Win. 10 on device with about 3GB of storage free via least elaborate...

Having run this past Googe Bard GB it looks like the only way is to install a lighweight LINUX OS; delete Win. 10 entirely and then create an installer. I'm "clutching at straws" - have done two Re-sets of Win 10 recently but it's often slower than ever e.g. typing out four characters can take 30 secs even though nothing much is open and no Updates are occurring. I have made some changes in the Registry to stop seeing any Sign in delays - it hasn't worked completely but may have had unintended consequences. I have a record of them in around 30 pages of dialogue with GB but a re-install

Fresh USB Windows 10 Install - Failing

I am trying to install a fresh copy (reformatted the hard disk) of windows 10 using a USB

• Created an installation media on a USB flash drive (Win 10 pro) from this page https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
• Changed the boot order on the other PC so that it boots using USB
• Selected custom install
• Installing Windows goes through the following steps successfully: Copying Windows Files, Getting Files ready for installation, Installing features, Installing updates and before the last step (Finishing up), it restarts
• Then it goes back to the start of the installation steps

I am stuck and have read numerous posts but don't know what to do to install a fresh copy of Win 10.

 

Fresh Install of Win 10 without Serial Key?

Looking to reformat a laptops HDD, and then reinstall Win 10 fresh. The problem is it came pre-installed with Win 8 and I did the free upgrade to Win 10. How exactly would I re-format the HDD, reinstall Win 10 and ensure it reactivates properly? I don't see a Win 8 serial key anywhere in the contents of the box.
