Windows 10: Questions about installing Windows 10

Split from this thread.​

I have a Windows 10, HP Laptop. I have many questions! I'm about to install the Windows 10 operating system, from a DVD. Here goes . . . Do I have to delete everything on my computer, to then do the install? Or will be done during the install?

How do I partition my computer? I now have a C: drive and a D: drive and would like to set in up that way. Will I be asked these questions, while I'm installing the new OS?

I want to create a computer name (Jerry Dwyer). To show up everywhere. The Lock Screen for example. I use a USB Flash drive. Will if show-up as the F: drive? ( I have a DVD drive using E Will the USB drive, show up or will I have to search for it?

And as far as passwords go. Will I be able to set or create a password that doesn't require minimum characters, upper case, lower case, a capital letter and a special character. Can I install and setup my computer, not to require these things?

Well that's it . . . I'm sure I'll think of more issues? But, I asked enough for now. I'll wait to see if you ever get this? Please reply to this email or you can put it the Geeks forum if you want?

Thanks . . . Jerry Dwyer . . . in Kansas City Missouri

Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
