I'm out walking. Whilst there are some answers that would be nice from the above, they don't affect the next phase, so here goes:
Clean Installation Files
We're now going to get the installation files onto a USB stick.
- Minimum 8GB USB Required (and any files already on it will be deleted/lost) - Insert it now
- Go to www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/home
- Choose Windows 10
- Click the "Download Tool Now" link
- Open/Run the downloaded Media Creation Tool
- Accept licence terms
- Select "Create Installation Media....... for another PC" (Yes, really - Another PC even if you're on your laptop)
- Select Language/Edition/Architecture. If you're on your laptop, they should be correctly populated, but check anyway (English (UK) Windows 10 64-bit (X64))
- Select USB Flash Drive
- Select/Confirm the correct USB flash drive letter
- Let it download and verify the installation data (takes time)
- when it confirms it is downloaded and verified, you can exit/finish the process and safely eject the USB
Once the USB is done, we'll move on to installation. It isn't particularly difficult, but it is quite interactive, most of it is fairly straightforward, but there are some key responses/decisions, and I need the answers from phase 1 before we go ahead.
