Hi,
I want to install a fresh Win10 but NOT overlay the current OS just yet. I want to take my time reinstalling all of dozens of apps while still using the current system. Current system is flaking on me every month or so necessitating an image restore. It dates from July 29, 2015 so may have accumulated some cobwebs and dry rot. Windows update errors off too. I currently have a Win7 too for non-Win10 apps, so I'm talking a multi-boot system with a 2nd Win10 option. I use EasyBCD to manage dual-boot now.
Problem is after downloading the latest Win10 ISO from MS and starting the install there's no option for "advanced" or "special" install where I get to pick the HDD or partition to install it to. It seems to want to overlay the existing OS on "C". I created a dedicated partition on a 2T drive for it. I just get what's below. How do I direct the install to a drive other than "C"?
2nd question: If I did continue with the menu options below and select "keep files and apps", does it really keep all installed apps as currently installed, or just the installation .exe files on disk? Of course many of my apps will not not have install .exe's laying around.
Thanks for any tips.
