How to install Windows10 using a USB flash drive?

Dear All,
I got an Acer Aspire T3-715 desktop PC.
There are some reasons that I want to remove every thing on my this PC. And then install Windows 10 again as a "Brand new PC"
I mean to install via an USB drive. That you remove everything first completely, and then installing Windows 10 again on your PC. That removes all early error etc . . .
Someone those are Data Experts says that this method have to do after every 6 or 8 months. Because that gives you every time a brand new Windows, that removes/deletes all current error and all other things.
I bought this PC in october last year. It has already been in service center.
It is very difficult for me to pack this so big and heavy desktop PC and then send it to service.
The problem last time was that it took almost 5 to 6 minuts to come to the dekstop after you start up your PC.
I just want to remove all, and then install Windows again, that remove all eraly error and all other things. That I dont understand the reasons
Lastly, Is there any easy way to do that without any problem that cause trouble to you while doing that? Because it is very expencive to get help by an Data Expert.
Thanks for your all dear members reply!

First of all many thanks for your kind reply.
But do you suggest me to do that or not yet?
Because my current this desktop PC is almost 6 month old.
The reason I want to do that is to delete all I already intalled, and then begin with a brand new Windows.
I am using desktop PC more than my laptop PC. Because I like to use desktop PC than laptop.
Lastly, as you are an Data Expert. Do you suggest me to do that?
windows 10 doesn't need to be re-installed after 6 or 8 months or any other time settings.
you need to do it when you encounter a problem that can't be solved apart re-installing the OS.
Dear Sir,
Many thanks again for your kind support!
Okay! I will not do it till I require all these information to install Windows agaon on my this Desktop PC.
This PC already were at serice senter. According to them they installed Windows image again and reintalled Windos. Then I got it back.
The main problem was that, whenever I start up my PC. It always required 5-6 minuts till I can see desktop.
But now its Okay!
Lastly, the reason I asked for it was. That I saw a video on YouTube that says, that after 6 or 8 months you have to delete all. And then install Windows again on your PC. This will help you to have a strong and virus free PC.
Even for me it is a heavy thing to do every 6 or 8 months. Because lots of things along with Windows have to instal again. Which is not good.
Anyways, thanks for the support & Maybe I will come back for a bit more support when I will do that. Or maybe some few questions for Rufus 2.14
You welcome.
