If you had or have 8.1 installed all you had to do was upgrade to 10, then you could clean install 10.
No need to reinstall 8 then upgrade to 8.1 etc. all over again.

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