Reinstall Windows 10

[TRIPLE-A]

I've been getting a lot of blue screens, and when i check whats causing them it says Microsoft is the cause of the bsod. I was wondering if there was a way to uninstall Windows 10 and reinstall it again becuase Im pretty sure that my first installation of Windows 10 was somewhat faulty.

Prepare a USB drive using the W10 Media Creation Tool. Be sure to download the correct version!

Once done, boot from it to start the installation.
Be sure to BACK EVERYTHING UP beforehand as you will be wiping the disk when doing this.

OR

You could always ask W10 to do a refresh. This can be done from within Windows itself. Start>Settings>Update & Security>Recovery.
Try the Reset this PC option.

make sure you know your key first if this was an upgrade installation.

Agreed, forgot about that.
Depending on the system it might be BIOS locked in which case W10 should recognise it.
Otherwise, have your Windows 7/8/8.1 key handy.

Actually I've just checked and there is no key according to some articles. Slightly worrying when the upgrade cycle comes around...
