1) I am using an NVMe that I am formatting in the Windows installer. Additionally I have tried "cleaning" the drive in command prompt by pressing shift+f10 in the installer, which from what I was told, has the same effect as formatting. 2) In the Windows Installer, after I use the...

My concern here is that other data could be getting synced to my computer which could cause the problems I'm currently experiencing. For example, I have been getting the following events in event viewer for months now. I tried multiple motherboards, GPUs, CPUs, RAM, hard drives, cases...

1) I dont remember if I unchecked "use recommended options for this pc" when I made the install medium, but I probably would have. 2) When I boot from the flash drive it doesnt ask me which version of Windows I want to install nor does it ask for my license key. When I boot from the USB stick it...

Looks like all the apps were free.. There was one that I thought I paid a dollar or 2 for but I looked it up and it's actually free, so I dont know.

Ok some clarification, during the installation, it was asking me to enter a passcode, not a pincode. This time where it asked for a passcode I didnt't enter one but when Windows boots, my downloads still show up in the store. So, to clarify, there's no pin code on this machine at all or on the...

Also, forgot to add I havent used onedrive on any of these installs or signed into any accounts anywhere. Quite literally, I've been cleaning/formatting my drive, signing on with a local user, and the moment Windows boots I open the store and my purchases show up. For all Windows knows, it...

Update: I unlinked my computer from my Microsoft account yet my purchases still show up in the store after doing a clean install! How do I stop this from happening? What other data, settings, etc could be getting synced? I am trying to diagnose and fix an issue with my pc and this is making me...
