Once you performed the recommended preparation steps and created the USB bootable media, then you can proceed with the steps to complete a clean installation of Windows 10.

Warning: This is a friendly reminder that this process will erase everything on your computer. It's always recommended to make a temporary full backup of your PC before proceeding.

To do a clean installation of Windows 10, use these steps:

1. Start the computer with the Windows 10 USB media.
2. On prompt, press any key to boot from the device.
3. On the "Windows Setup," click the Next button.

12. Select the partition with the current installation (usually "Drive 0"), and click the Delete button.
    Quick tip: If "Drive 0" has multiple partitions, you have to select and delete each of the partitions to allow the setup to use the entire drive for the new clean installation. Windows 10 will create the required partitions automatically during the process. It's not necessary to delete the partitions on secondary drives.
13. Click the Yes button.

14. Select the empty drive (Drive 0 Unallocated Space).

15. Click the Next button.

Once you complete the steps, the setup will proceed with the fresh installation of Windows 10 on the device.

If you're planning to get rid of the device, you can stop now and let the new owner complete the setup. If you're upgrading a system that you're planning to use, then you need to continue with out-of-box experience.
