You’ve got a new SSD this Christmas and are looking to set up your operating system. Since cloning didn’t work, you’re starting fresh with a clean installation. Follow the steps for a standard Linux or Windows setup depending on your goal.

Download the Windows 10 ISO from the provided link. Create a bootable USB drive and install the operating system.

Yes, your SSD should be completely empty.

Skip the in-OS installer. Download the USB utility from Microsoft’s site. Start the installation via the USB drive and disconnect all other storage devices to ensure the MBR is written to the SSD as well. After the fall upgrade, you may use the 8.1 license key during the clean 10 setup (remember to get the tool from a trusted source).
