What is the best way to Clean RE-Install Win 10 from USB media?

Hey there

I am reading bunch of tutorials on how to boot from USB and I cant figure out which option to choose. I need it to re-format C drive (which is M.2.) and leave nothing on it.

How about Option TWO on this page?

Do I really have to disable all other drives? (I guess I should...)

My memory is 3000Mhz O/C. but XMP profile is disabled now. Should I enable XMP profile now or after Re-Install?

Thank you.

take any extra hdd out of PC so win 10 doesn't have a choice - it might put boot sector on another hdd otherwise and this means if you remove that drive later win 10 won't want to boot

option 2 works though the button you need to use to get to boot menu may not be F11 - looking at motherboard manual its unclear if F11 will work, to get into bios you use Del and from here F8 to get to boot menu

you bneat me too it :)

not sure about XMP, might help to have them stock while you install win 10

don't need to format before clean install, just follow this: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1950-windows-10-clean-install.html
