So back in 2016 I built my PC and I bought a Windows 10 OEM for my OS, but I plan to reformat my PC for a clean start and since I don't have much to lose.
Then I learned that you can reformat your computer by using an ISO file from Microsoft and installing via USB, where in the process of installing the OS you can easily delete the drive you want to install the OS in(effectively wiping out the data in it thus it’s reformatted) then install the OS on the clean drive.
Is it okay if I use the latest Windows 10 build that I downloaded from MS’ website to reformat my PC with this method?
I am afraid that after installation I will have a free version of the OS instead of the Pro version I bought.
Thanks in advance.
