Windows 10 S to Windows 10. HELP!!!

by May 21, 2018 12:45PM PDT

Hello fellow friends of CNET. Ive built a new pc and clean installed windows 10S on my new computer on the hard drive. (Used windows 10 usb boot free version). I accidently installed windows 10S i should say. Windows 10S is a version of windows 10 that you cant download anything or do anything just things from the app and use the web. Is there any way i can delete windows 10S and just clean reinstall windows 10 from usb boot? I need help bad. I need to get rid of windows 10S its horrible.

I've used DBAN for this. DBAN does warn you what it's going to do so my question is why not?

Why not use DBAN?

But once in a while folk don't know how to find things. Here I expect folk to use Google.com to find such things but there are new folk every day.

Try searching for DBAN. If you need a tutorial google DBAN TUTORIAL.
