Installing Windows 10 Home using ISO file

[pritam21]

I am planning to do a clean installation on my notebook since there are many problems which I am facing. I even tried to reset the Windows (using the built in tools) but even then all the problems were not solved. In general i just want to do a clean installation.

The notebook came preinstalled with Windows 10 Home (not single language).

I currently have the Windows 10 Home Fall Creators ISO file (the same edition which came preinstalled with my device). The license is digitally linked with my Microsoft account.

 I don't want to install from the recovery discs (from my OEM i.e HP) as that would take another 4-5 days to get the device completely ready for my work (lots of updates, configuration, installation and all).

My question is that - Can I install Windows 10 Home from the ISO file on the same device (to get it activated) ? I have heard of the Windows OEM and retail versions.

Also if I would install Windows 10 from the ISO file I would get rid of the bloatware directly after installaion and hence no more uninstallation of the craps.

Please anybody tell me that could I install Windows 10 Home from the ISO file (and get it activated on the same device) on the preinstalled Windows 10 Home device. Does Microsoft allows this?

Thanks in advance !

Hi:

Yes, the W10 download file from this link will work with the OEM product key in your notebook's BIOS.

Why should I purchase a new license.

As I have told earlier, the notebook came preinstalled with Windows 10 Home and now I just want to do a clean install (not talking about the OEM's recovery disc for reinstallation) using the official Windows 10 ISO file from Microsoft.
