Windows 8.1 clean install

[Mixmaster5]

Hi,

 

I want to clean install Windows 8.1

 

When selecting "Advanced mode" you can choose the drive you want the OS to be installed

to. When you hit "new" it creates partitions out of one drive - is this necessary or can you

just choose "format" --> format it to NTFS and then install it on this?

Thanks.

 

Cheers

Hi there, if you want to completely wipe everything off you HDD or SSD then format and install, if you wish to keep windows on a separate partition on your hard drive for reasons like keeping your games/photos/videos in a separate partition so they are easy to find ect, then create new partition

 

Hope this helps
