Windows 10 (sorry) - clean install?

Hi
Lot of good advice and info.
Step 1 Have the W8.x recovery disks made and ready.
Step 2 Have your sensitive data backed up.
Step 3 Ignore steps 1 & 2.
A clean install is nice, but it may not detect all your drivers correctly, so perhaps do the upgrade and overwrite your W8 first, with the knowledge that a clean install is easily achieved.This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

I wiped my PC and did a clean install when I replaced the system HDD with an SSD. Win 8 detected all the correct drivers, so I'd assume (ha-ha) that Win 10 would do the same...0
