Clean install of 10 on new SSD
I am about to get a new 240Gb SSD and have been advised to clean install Windows 10 on it. This SSD will replace a SATA HDD in my existing computer running Windows 8.1. I know that I qualify for the free upgrade; I have the "Get 10" icon on my task bar.
My first question is, can I get the 10 installation media without buying it and if so, how?
Do I need to upgrade the computer to 10 before replacing the OS hard drive with the new SSD and clean installing?
I'm not very knowledgeable about these processes so I apologize if my language is incorrect. If somebody could give me a step by step process guide to achieve this, I would be most grateful.
