I never seriously entertained a custom (clean) install from an ISO image on the same NTFS hdd primary partition thinking that as in the past it would not work anyway .
This HP P7 that came with win 7x64 in late 2010 won't allow booting from a USB in the HP Bios boot menu that doesn't break my heart because like a bad write or disk burn I've seen some of my USB flash drives go wonky also even after using them without any issues usually a format or two can fix them but not always . I loaded the HP Elite Book with a Windows 10 RTM 10240 pro image from a DVD for a clean install same for all the PC's here those are all normally activated 10586th2 now .
HP likes to tattoo their OEM BIOS and often they will not recognize a video card or CPU upgrade especially if the wattage is higher than what the max is in optional OEM configurations or if it's a much newer part or even if you upgrade the PSU .
The HP OEM legacy BIOS are usually pretty locked down and hard to find a hacked BIOS for .
That makes a good argument for custom builds for upgraders . I rolled my own builds for years but now I just buy new HP's outside of the one off lease Dell business slim tower here .
I've upgraded both of the HP P7 CPU ,HDD ,RAM and sound and installed d/GPU's on them here and one with a much bigger PSU to accommodate a stonking nvidia gaming d/GPU on the SB i7 box but sometimes it's trial and error with the maximum upgrade part the OEM BIOS will recognize with a CPU and d/GPU even within a similar type part .
Aftermarket mainboards are much more flexible in that way .
