So, i heard windows 10 was coming out, and since my computer is fairly slow from junk files, i want to know if i can choose to not bring over my files? So basically, i got some mods (Pay Day 2) that conflict with each other. I want to start over, because i don't know who's what and if we're in there or that we're out here, or if he's the sheriff, or if we're out here. I just remembered. We're out here. What i want to know is wheres the caveman?

First time round, you will end up carrying some junk over as the install is an upgrade.

As soon as the install is complete, you have 2 options:

1) you can chose the "reset" option to reset your machine to factory: enter image description here

2) fresh format and clean install. Once activated, your Windows 10 key is good for clean installs as well as upgrades.

EDIT: as Ramhound very rightly pointed out, once Windows 10 is activated once, through the upgrade procedure, future installations will automatically be activated provided it is the same machine. Each machine is independent from one another, all license rights and limitations, remain the same with Windows 10.

(To Ramhound, apologies for stealing your comment. It was worded so well that I couldn't think of a better or more efficient way of phrasing it myself and felt it could only benefit an answer.)

Hope this helps.
