16.I would like to reinstall Windows 10 on my laptop. How do I do this?
We don’t recommend you reinstalling the operating system on your laptop as far as possible. Please use this as a last resort after trying other options. Also note that you would have to take a backup of all your important data in a separate storage device or upload to a cloud storage account before attempting a reinstallation. Here are the steps you need to follow:
- Step 1: Visit the “Download Windows 10” section on the Microsoft website - https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10
- Step 2: Choose the second option: “Using the tool to create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) to install Windows 10 on a different PC (click to show more or less information)”
- Step 3: In case you haven’t already, take a backup of important files at this point. There’s no going back after this!
- Step 4: Use the installation media (Bootable disk) to install Windows 10 on the SSD. When prompted, delete the existing partitions and then proceed to install a fresh copy of Windows instead of upgrade.
- Step 5: Follow the installation wizard step by step and choose your personalized settings, and also log in using your account.
- Step 6: Install the latest drivers for your laptop from this link: https://www.mi.com/in/service/support/laptop-drivers.html
With this, you should have been able to install Windows 10 successfully on your laptop. If any functions don’t work, follow Step 6 and install the specific driver relevant for your laptop model.
