    Correct, you would want to create installation media with UEFI support to install with unless you are upgrading with the Media Creation Tool or GWX app (free offer).

    Correct. It'll just use what you currently are.

    Hey I have legacy bios. Will Windows 10 still install clean and remain activated?

    Yep, if you upgraded first like below. :)

    Can I reinstall Windows 10 on my computer after upgrading with free upgrade?

    Once you’ve upgraded to Windows 10 using the free upgrade offer or Media Creation Tool on an activated Windows 7 or 8.1 PC, you will be able to reinstall, including a clean install, on the same device. You won’t need a product key for re-activations on the same hardware. If you make a meaningful change to your hardware, you may need to contact customer support to help with activation. You’ll also be able to create your own installation media like a USB drive or DVD, and use that to upgrade your device or reinstall after you’ve upgraded.
