Win 7 -> Win 10 upgrade - can I do a clean install instead of upgrade?
Hi Guys, I'm trying to upgrade a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit machine to Win 10 Pro 64-bit. Ideally I want a clean install...
I tried using the method that worked before on other PCs (Media Creation Tool -> Upgrade this PC) but I got a BSOD when it was "Checking for Updates", so I was wondering:
Do I have to go through the upgrade saga prior to a clean install, or can I just do a clean install straight-off?
I have the Win 7 license key and have a Win 10 (1511) Install DVD to use.
Cheers,
Mike.
