Windows 10 - can I abort a fresh install and start over ?

[DougieDuda]

I am doing a Windows 10 fresh install on a new gaming computer build. I didn't intend to connect to my network until the Windows 10 install was completed (trying to avoid bloatware). But I made the mistake of connecting to my network when the the "ethernet not connected" message appeared. I'm at the "Let's add your account" page now. Is there a way to abort this Windows 10 install and start over? When I start over, I will remember to not connect to my network. This is a new gamming computer build with just one drive connected.

Sure, just boot from whatever boot media you are using and start over. Might want to go to advanced options and just delete those partitions and start fresh to be 100% sure.
