An Accessible way to, “Clean install Windows

Recently, I’ve been experiencing numerous technical difficulties with my Dell laptop.

Due to these issues, I performed a, “Clean install” of Windows this past Sunday.

I didn’t think this was possible, but indeed, I was proven wrong.

Here’s how to accomplish this task, with speech throughout the entire process:

1. create a bootable usb drive, containing the ISo of the operating system you’d like to install.
2. 2. Plug the drive into the usb port on your computer.
3. 3. Open file explorer & navigate to your usb drive in the tree view, along the left-hand side of your screen.
4. 4. Once you locate the drive, press “enter to open it.
5. Press “S” until you hear, “setup.”
6. Press enter to run
7. Choose what, if anything, you’d like to keep. In my case, I chose, “remove everything.”
8. Your pc will restart several times during the process & once it comes back up, you can press control+Windows+enter, to start Marrator, which is Microsoft’s built-in screen-reader.
9. When prompted, choose “setup as new device.”
10. Sign in with your Microsoft account & you should be good to go.
11. Note: Before beginning the above process, be sure to backup anything you wish to keep, otherwise, you’ll lose access to permanently.
