I did yeah, I used the Reset PC function and selected it to remove everything and reinstall Windows

That’s not a clean install. You have to do a clean installation of windows deleting all existing partitions.

On a positive note, just trying out PC Building Simulator again. My old PC had to be downgraded to QHD and put on Medium settings for good FPS, now I'm running on Max settings at 4K 60FPS! I'm in looooove!

1. Download the Windows Media Creation Tool from https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10
2. Plug in a blank 8GB minimum USB stick and run the Media Creation Tool.
3. Tell the tool to create an ISO for use on another computer.
4. Ensure the tool is referencing the 8GB USB stick and the tool will write Windows installation files to the USB stick and make it bootable.
5. Boot the USB stick.
6. Choose a Custom Install.
7. Delete all system partitions (EFI/System, MSR, Recovery, Windows/Primary).
8. Select the 'unallocated space' that results and click the Next button. The installer will create the correct partition structure and install Windows.
9. In the post install setup, login with your Microsoft ID and the license will be transferred. As soon as you connect to the Internet Windows will be activated.

Thanks for this Ubuysa So I don't need to do the clean wipe from Settings, I can just do this by running the Custom Install? Will give it a go!
