    My PC doesn't turn on and it writes system32 error on the screen?

    If you have the original Disks or a recovery disk, you might be able to boot that way, or boot with F8 and use safe mode. You might need to reload Windows.

    I'm trying to install Windows 10 on my XP Pro desktop, and it says it's not a win32 application. What can I do?
    Community Answer
    If you're doing this on real hardware, check to ensure your hardware meets the hardware requirements, since Windows 10 is 14 years newer than Windows XP. If you're using a newer XP computer that can run Windows 10, try booting from a Windows 10 installation USB or DVD and installing from there.

    A clean install is an install with any other stuff added before removed (otherwise it wouldn't be "clean").
