I want to fresh ( or clean) install Windows 10 Home.

When I open Settings>Accoints>Your Info , there is shown word Adminstrator underneath the a email id.This email id cannot be changed.The problem is i cannot access this email id and this id is broken

So my question is if choose to start fresh install from Windows Security>Device performance and health, will i need this email id for activation of Windows 10 Home after fresh installation setup is complete.

Is administrator email id needed for reactivation or i can provide another email id after fresh installation ?

If you do a fresh install of Windows 10 (that is, all new) then you get a new User Profile to start. Since the computer is working, then it will activate itself from the Microsoft Licensing Server. You can set up a new account - either a Microsoft Email account (best) or a local account. If the email account you use is not working (password issues) either correct the password (Microsoft Live Website) or use a different email account
