{% hint style="danger" %}
**NOTE:** When reinstalling Windows, most modern systems will automatically detect and install basic Ethernet drivers, so ur connection will work fine after the installation. ✅&#x20;



<mark style="color:red;background-color:red;">**In some cases, you may need to manually download and install network drivers.**</mark>



&#x20;Make sure to download your network drivers (LAN) from your corresponding motherboard model. So for example "Asus B550 Network drivers" on Google, and put them in the USB drive. You can skip this step since this is just a precaution, but there is a small risk of no connection after Windows reinstallation. 🌐

1. Press **SHIFT + F10** (A CMD will pop up)
2. Now write **`diskpart`** into the CMD 💬
3. Then write **`list disk`** into the CMD to see all ur drives 💬
4. Write **`select disk 'X'`** (X = Disk number) then write **`clean`** for ALL disks, besides ur USB.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**For example,** most people have one disk. Then write '**select disk 1**' and then '**clean**'. In case u have two drives, ur gonna 'select disk 2', and write 'clean' and so forth. ✅&#x20;



Flash drives (USB) usually have a smaller size compared to internal hard drives or SSDs, and are likely the last drive listed! **DO NOT CLEAN YOUR FLASH DRIVE (USB)!**
