  1. Need help with Windows 11 Pro clean install on new hard drive


    My subject question is a little misleading. But it best described what I intend to do.Let me explain.I need to reinstall Windows 11 Pro on my Dell laptop after I wiped my hard disk clean. In other words, it's like when I helped a neighbor years ago replace his hard drive on his Lenovo laptop, I have saved all my settings where possible, documents, photos, downloads and emails. But could someone provide the steps and the precautions to take so my laptop ends up as close to its original state when purchased? Steps and considerations that may not be mentioned at this link.?Windows 11 Clean In

    :)

    Windows Vista Clean Installation

    To do a clean install on a fresh hard drive with Vista on an upgrade disc, you have to follow certain steps. Buying a full install CD would've been easier, but using the upgrade disc only adds more time, so it's not that big of a deal.

    Follow the instructions here to do a clean install with an upgrade disc: Perform a Clean Install with a Vista Upgrade Disc - Windows Vista Tips / Tricks /Tutorials | Vista Rewired
