Clean install
If your current version of Windows can't be upgraded or if you want to
replace your current operating system entirely, you can perform a clean
install.
Warning: Clean install deletes your programs and settings. Back up any
files and settings you want to keep so you can restore them after the
installation. You must manually reinstall your programs when the
installation is completed. You will also need to install the hardware drivers
for the new operating system.
