Clean install

[I Am Negan]

I'm going to do a clean install of windows 10.I upgraded from windows 8.1 so if I do this clean will it still be activated? I'm going to be doing it this way:

 

So will it be still be activated when I get done with all this?

If I were doing a Clean Install of Windows 10 I would download the Windows Media Creation Tool.  That is the only way I know of to get a clean install of Windows 10 without anything else other than what Windows 10 puts on your computer.  https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10  

That is the way I would do it anyway.  Download the ISO or let it create a USB bootable drive and install Windows 10 .  Yes it will be registered if your computer now is a legal copy of Windows.

Id much rather make a USB key or burn an ISO than faff around shrinking volumes to attach a VHD file which is what i assume the guide does
