I need to do a clean installation of windows 10 in my acer laptop. I found EFI partition,System reserved partition and C: and D drive. I need my D drive data only. How to install on it. Should I remove the efi partition? If yes then how can I make it? System reserved partition will automatically created at the time of installation. I am confused to install windows because of efi partition. Help me plz
My laptop is acer e5-574g . Windows 10 preinstalled.

copy any info you want off D drive before proceeding

Run the win 10 installer and follow this guide: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1950-windows-10-clean-install.html
when you get to step 13 of guide, delete all the partitions on the drive and click next, win 10 will recreate them all

when you get to page asking for licence, click "I don't have a key" and win 10 should auto activate itself once installed, since its been on the PC before.

the efi partition, the reserved, C drive amd the MSR will all be recreated by win 10, you don't need to worry about them.
