What you're saying makes sense, jeremyj_83 (sigh). So if I understand you correctly, I should: Put the HDD back into the old system, Backup all data to an external drive and format this HDD completely, Download the Media Creation Tool for Win 10 (this'll be a challenge as one of the reasons I...

Sorry to be such a noob, jeremyj_83, but I have a small confusion. I'd created separate partitions on the HDD, one for the OS and another for the data. Can I make a clean install of the new OS on the OS partition, or would that be inadvisable, and I should format the whole thing after taking a...
