Long story short. Recently, I bought a new prebuilt gaming rig from Newegg (abs gladiator). I’m running into some problems and I've been told that I probably have a corrupted os. It came with Windows 10 home. I want to do a clean reinstall of windows 10 home this weekend. I’m going to follow this tutorial:
https://forums.tomshardware.com/faq/windows-10-clean-install-tutorial.3170366/
Now I’ve done clean installs in the past several times now. The trouble is that I stumble through most of them and I always run into some walls during the process. I want to clarify some things by asking some questions below so that way maybe…just maybe… things will run smoothly this time around.
If some knowledgeable person can answer these questions for me I would be extremely thankful:

If some knowledgeable person can answer these questions for me I would be extremely thankful:
- Do you foresee any problems with clean reinstalling windows on a non-oem prebuilt gaming rig?
- Do I just directly access the Boot menu or do I first reorder the boot sequence in bios to boot from the flash drive?
- Do I need to enable UEFI mode to boot from flash drive?
- Do I format a drive to get unallocated space or by deleting all partitions will an unallocated space appear? (I always stumble here for some reason).
- Do I need to reinstall my various drivers after clean installing windows?
