Delete all partitions on a hard drive

Hello,
I installed an SSD in place of a mechanical one. So far, no problem.
Then I proceeded to install WIN 10 OEM and I didn’t pay attention when it asked me to create an account, and since then I’ve been struggling to open Windows with that damn account. (I’m stuck on this authentication)
So I want to delete all the partitions and do a new installation without this account (I saw that I have to disable the WIFI) to bypass it.
My question: is there a utility to delete the partitions from a USB drive (booting from USB) knowing that no software is installed on the computer?
Or can I force Windows 10 to bypass authentication and access the settings to delete that account?
- Windows limiting RAM and hard drive?
- Unable to use Iomega external hard drive on Windows 10.
- Adding an SSD and making it the primary drive.
- 4 TB hard drive recognized as a 2 TB disk
- FileHistory on D: (partition of my second storage hard drive)?
- fictional existence of a hard drive with a directory mcbuckup that does not exist

Hello,
Use the tool to download the Windows 10 ISO file (For another PC) to create a USB drive (minimum 8GB) to update, repair, or install Windows.
https://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/software-download/windows10/
Once you have the Windows ISO file, you can create a Bootable USB drive using Rufus.
If the PC is old, you need to create the drive in MBR mode.
If it is recent (Windows 8 or higher), use GPT mode for EFI.
Boot from it using the PC's Boot Menu key.
You can search Google for "[Brand Model] Boot Menu Key".
Select "Custom installation" (Not upgrade).
Delete all system partitions and create a new one (This deletes the data).

Ethernet cable disconnected, do not connect to WiFi if it tries to force you, press Shift+F10 and type oobe\bypassnro.
