If you have already activated your Windows 10 once, Microsoft remembers the product key tagged against the device id. If you don’t want to have 2 partitions, you can remove the partition and freshly install the Windows 10 Home edition by downloading it using the Microsoft Media Creation tool found below. `https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10` Follow the below steps to create the installation USB and to perform a fresh install of the OS.
