Clean install is now possible for Windows 10 build 9926

Jan 24, 2015 10:09 GMT  ·  By

Windows 10 build 9926 is available through the standard Windows Update channel that allows Windows Insiders to download and install new Technical Preview releases automatically, making the whole process not only easier, but also smoother because issues are less likely to be experienced.

And yet, those who'd like to perform a clean install can do with the stand-alone ISOs that allows them to deploy Windows 10 build 9926 on their computers from scratch, without having to go through the pain of updating every build to the new release.

One important thing for this release is that Microsoft made ISOs available in more languages, so you can now install the new Windows 10 release in Russian, German, French, French (Canada), Korean, Italian, Spanish, and even more.

ISO sizes

Needless to say, it's much easier for users to download the new Windows 10 build through the built-in mechanism, but ISOs surely come in handy if you want to perform a clean install.

The new ISOs are available in both 32- and 64-bit versions, so make sure you download the correct version for your system.

Keep in mind that if you use an ISO, you lose all your settings and apps on the partition or drive you install to and once you deploy Windows 10 Technical Preview, you won't be able to downgrade to a previous version.

Microsoft reminds everyone that Windows 10 TP is still work in progress and you could also come across bugs and other issues, so it's better not to install this on your main PC or laptop.
