Then, use a piece of software like double driver and extract the drivers on your current setup to a flash drive. Wipe the drive and install the fresh copy of windows you downloaded. When prompted, enter the product key. When installation is finished, restore your drivers. Then install Microsoft security essentials, run updates and install very light software and disable most startup items. Most computers I do this to boot up in 15 seconds or less. If you would not like to do any of that, PC Decrapifier is a great piece of software to use and will guide you in uninstalling the garbage that comes with it.

Another good way to do it...!!
