Can't you just download a pristine Windows 10 ISO from Microsoft's website and install from that? I've done that on my Dell Precision and it works great.

You can! Just make sure it's the exact same edition and language that came with the laptop. It will just pick up the OEM key from the ACPI table.

The problem is that if it's not the same edition as is pre-installed you will lose your OEM license.
