From the product description of this item, I expected a clean install of WIN 10 Home leaving only the operating system on the computer with no other software or files. Instructions with this USB said to boot the computer from the USB. While this computer was set to boot first from removable drive, it wold not boot from this (maybe any) USB. Note that the USB I received is labeled "Widows 10 Home/ Pro." After three failed attempts to boot from the USB, I opened to view files on it, then clicked on setup.exe. I got the result I described above. Windows 10 Pro installed leaving all my programs and files intact and ready to use.
