Activate FRESH Windows 10 from Microsoft website on an XPS 8940

Does anyone know if it is possible to Activate a fresh (with no Dell Bloatware) copy of Windows 10 from Microsoft site without buying a new Windows licence?

I don't want to go through the whole install process only to have to reinstall the Dell version of Windows 10 or buy another Windows licence that I have already paid for.

If you have tried this, have you experienced any issues with obtaining drivers?

Yes, you can install a copy of Windows 10 from the Microsoft website.

As the license is registered on the motherboard. If the windows have already been activated on the system the license will take over when you install Windows 10 from the Microsoft site.
