He says he can't update or restart his PC. It's now running very slowly, taking about 2-3 minutes to click any app after logging in. He tried watching a YouTube video about scanning the boot directory but got nothing. He needs help to get a clean Windows 10 installation.

Consider using Microsoft's Media Creation Tool for a new Windows setup. Keep in mind this will erase all your data, effectively resetting your system, so back up your files beforehand.

I’d prefer a fresh setup, just like you mentioned. Fixing things can sometimes be slower than starting anew, especially with certain programs. It really does vary based on your system, though—I tend to keep things simple with minimal configurations and use virtual machines and snapshots. My primary desktop stays clean either way. I also take a backup of my SSD when it’s packed with essential software, so if needed I can restore it without a full reinstall. The pros are getting back online fast; the cons are that if the image isn’t up to date, you might need to refresh Windows and some applications again.
