[SOLVED] How to reset my os?

[Aut0Ex4C]

So last time I was on this forum, many people told me not to pirate windows. So I finally saved up some money and I bought Windows 10 Pro.

Now, my question is how do I remove the pirated version and reinstall the non-pirated version?

Should I just reset my pc and enter the activation key?

Please help.

Just do a full reinstallation of Windows. It will get rid of any traces of the previous installation and you will start completely fresh.

Full wipe and reinstall.
Not "reset".
