Hello all I currently have windows 10 on my machine but I want to fully reinstall windows as my PC is being sluggish. I know there is a reset option but I want to like delete my partions and other stuff. But since the "free" windows 10 download is gone and I don't want to download the assistive technology one, how am I able to do this. I do not have any USB drive with the windows 10 upgrade on it. Do I need to buy a new key or be stuck with using the reset feature? Any help would be appreciated.

Create your own USB or DVD
Install
When it asks for the license key, skip.
It will activate itself online when you are done.

You can download the installer from Here

Use that to make a DVD or USB
change boot order to match USB or DVD first, hdd second
boot from installer
follow this: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1950-windows-10-clean-install.html

when you get to part asking for licence, click "I don't have one" and it will activate itself on install. When you upgraded you got a digital entitlement meaning when ever that machine had win 10 installed on it, it will always activate.

lol. just beat me :p
