How to reinstall Windows 10 without any bloatware
​

There’s a way to get a clean installation of Windows 10, without all the apps that came with your PC. Here’s how it works.


1. From Windows 10’s Start menu, go to Settings > Update & security > Recovery. You can also get there from the traditional Control Panel by clicking Recovery. At the bottom of that window, click the long hyperlink that reads, “If you’re having problems with your PC, go to Settings...”

Windows 10 has what we used to call a “repair install” built-in, also known as an in-place installation.​

2. Either way, you end up in the Recovery section of Settings. Under More recovery options you’ll see a long hyperlink that reads, “Learn how to start fresh with a clean installation of Windows.” Click that.

This text will take you to a webpage that lets you download the tool you need. ​

3. That webpage has a tool you can download which will “...install a clean copy of the most recent version of Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro, and remove apps that you installed or came pre-installed on your PC.”

Here is Windows 10 “fresh start” reset tool - it’s free and works beautifully. ​

Let’s be completely clear here, as Microsoft is in the further explanation above: “Using this tool will remove all apps that don’t come standard with Windows, including other Microsoft apps such as Office. It will also remove most pre-installed apps, including manufacturer apps, support apps, and drivers.” Don’t use this tool unless you’re ready to let go of everything.


4. Run the tool, and get some coffee or go for a walk. When it completes you’ll have a fresh installation of Windows 10, sans bloatware (or anything else).

I want to try this procedure but I have two questions.
After doing this procedure, is it possible to reset the system again with the original bloatware?
After doing this procedure, is it possible to repeat it?
Thanks a lot.

You can always repeat the process - without limitation!

Or just use Iobit Uninstaller to remove all the crap.

... manually ... not a good solution!

I can download,install and decrapify my PC with Iobit faster than downloading that above.

Today I tried this procedure but Windows 10 didn't show the mentioned webpage.

Instead Windows will show a different wizard.

But you can download the Windows 10 download tool from here:
