Wiping my PC can I Install windows 10 without Prior Win OS?

I think the OP has done it that way for so long and it seems to have worked for him that he has a hard time changing . Human habits are hard to break i suppose.

It is completely unnecessary though and has no benefit doing it like that.

Not for free. If you want to install Windows 10 on a completely clean drive, you will have to buy a copy of it. To get the free upgrade, there has to be a genuine copy of either Win 7 SP1 or 8.1 already installed.

I hear that, he will learn :)

I`ve cleaned up my upgrade from 8.1 and it`s running so good, I`m not even considering a clean install yet.

But then, my 8.1 install was fresh, no updates added, no software added.

I just deleted the windows.old folder and it`s all good.

I upgraded to 10 from an 8.1 install with over 350 GB of games , pictures, videos, music, other programs, etc. and everything has gone perfectly. I have no need to even think about a clean install.

You guys lucked out to have everything go so perfectly , if something can go wrong it definitely will with me lol.
