YouвЂ™ll need to delete the primary partition and the system partition. This next part may be a bit tricky if you have multiple hard drives or partitions.

As the installer says - you should have a backup of your files and programs to copy them to the new installation after itвЂ™s complete.

To perform a clean install, youвЂ™ll need to select the вЂњCustom: Install Windows onlyвЂќ option. Read it (вЂ¦or not) and tick the checkbox before pressing вЂњNext.вЂќ YouвЂ™ll need to agree to the Microsoft EULA before you can continue. On the next screen, press the вЂњInstall nowвЂќ button. From here, select your desired language, time and currency format, and keyboard input. Installing Windows 10ДЄfter rebooting, you should see the Language select screen. The worst-case scenario is that you'll accidentally install in BIOS mode (which is sub-optimal but not so much so that it'll be a real problem) to the hard disk rather than to the SSD (which will result in performance degradation, but no more so than what the computer is likely experiencing now).Note: - if greeted by a вЂњPress any key to boot fromвЂ¦вЂќ do press thatВ key! You wonвЂ™t get to the installer otherwise. If you don't care about the WinRE Tools and BIOS_RVY partitions, you can just wipe both disks and re-install Windows. If all of the above sounds overwhelming, don't worry too much about it.

OTOH, if the installer complains about an MBR partition table, then that means you've accidentally converted from GPT to MBR (or maybe your second disk is currently in MBR form), and you should re-partition the affected disk in GPT form.

You should figure out how to boot in EFI mode rather than try to adjust the partitions. Don't take this literally the real problem is that you booted the installer in BIOS mode. If this happens, and if you leave existing partitions in place or prepare GUID Partition Table (GPT) partitions before installing, the installer will complain about the presence of GPT partitions. There are few or no advantages to booting in BIOS/CSM/legacy mode, but you might accidentally boot your installer in this way, particularly if you don't prepare the installation medium correctly. EFI-mode booting is the default these days, but most modern computers provide a Compatibility Support Module (CSM), which enables BIOS-mode (aka legacy-mode) booting.You might want to preserve, or at least back up, the WinRE Tools and BIOS_RVY partitions, just in case you might need to restore the computer to its factory-fresh state at some point in the future.The ESP is required to boot the computer if you install in EFI mode (which I recommend) don't try to fight its creation.Modern Windows installers create the Microsoft Reserved partition automatically.My single most important recommendation is to pay attention to the installation disk to put the OS on the SSD - at least, if my inference that you've got an SSD and a hard disk is correct. The current installation seems to put the OS on the hard disk, which is sub-optimal. The usual approach on computers with both an SSD and a hard disk is to install the OS on the SSD, along with frequently-accessed data, and to use the hard disk for bigger files for which access time is less critical (backups, multimedia files, etc.). Given the disk sizes, I suspect that your first disk ('Drive 0' in Microsoft's nomenclature) is an SSD and the second disk ('Drive 1') is a hard disk.I do have a few caveats and suggestions, though: Given your stated desire to start with a fresh installation, you can do as music2myear suggests: Delete all of the partitions and start over again. 17 GB BIOS_RVY - I suspect, but am not certain, that this partition holds vendor-specific tools.Note that it's on the second of two physical disks in your computer. 915 GB data - I suspect this is the main Windows installation ( C:) partition.It's essentially what manufacturers now provide instead of a recovery/installation disc. 900 MB WinRE Tools - I'm pretty sure this is a standard set of Windows tools used for recovery purposes.237 GB primary - Given that your computer has two disks and this partition appears to be mostly empty, I suspect that this is simply the main data partition on this disk.

128 MB Microsoft Reserved (MSR) - This is an empty partition that's reserved for use as 'scratch space' by Windows partitioning tools.

300 MB System - This is probably the EFI System Partition (ESP), which is where the boot loader lives on modern EFI-based computers.

I'm not 100% sure of all of these, but my understanding or interpretation is:
