Click on "Activating after reinstalling Windows 10":
How you activate Windows 10 after reinstalling it depends on how Windows 10 was originally installed on your device.
If you activated a free upgrade to Windows 10 or bought and activated Windows 10 from the Store, you have a digital license for your device. This means you can reinstall the same edition of Windows 10 that your device has a digital license for without entering a product key. During reinstallation, if you’re asked to enter a product key, you can skip this step. Windows 10 will automatically activate online after the installation is complete.

If the OP wants to clean install Windows 10 on his computer that already has a digital license all he has to do is create a Windows 10 USB flash drive FOR FREE using the Media Creation Tool found here:
Download Windows 10
Then he follows the instructions provided by Microsoft in the link that I posted previously.
Most of us long time members here have been running Windows 10 since before the original was RTM and we have created Windows 10 installation flash drives many times and have re-installed Windows 10 many times using the exact procedure provided by Microsoft to do it for free on our computers that got Windows 10 as free upgrades from Windows 7 or 8.
