In this hands-on video, you will learn the steps to properly perform a clean installation of the Windows Update on a computer using a USB bootable media created with the Microsoft Media Creation Tool. You should only use the Media Creation Tool to upgrade from an older version (for example, November 2019 Update) or fix problems with the current setup. Since Windows 10 21H1 is a small update based on version 2004, devices running one of the two most recent releases only need the enablement package to upgrade, which installs quickly like a cumulative update using Windows Update. On devices running version 20H2 or 2004, it is not necessary to go through the reinstallation process. However, if you are upgrading to the new version, there is an exception. If you have had the same installation for a long time, starting from scratch with a fresh copy of the operating system can improve performance, booting times, memory usage, and resolve existing problems. A clean install of Windows 10 21H1 minimizes the risks of issues because it deletes everything on the hard drive and sets up a fresh copy of the operating system. Usually, the recommended method is to perform an in-place upgrade using Windows Update, but changing the current setup can lead to errors and many other problems due to compatibility issues and custom configurations. Windows 10 21H1, May 2021 Update, is available starting May 18 for compatible devices, and to avoid possible problems, the best way to upgrade is to perform a clean installation using a USB flash drive bootable media.
