Windows 10: Can you unpack the Windows 10 ISO and install it directly buy clicking "setup.exe" (or...

I vaguely remember being able to do this with older versions of windows. But I don't see anyone installing windows 10 this way when I googled. So I just want to make sure it's viable.

Basically I have a new SSD and I want to fresh install. I still have a functional OS on the old hard drive. If I plug in the SSD, would I be able to install Windows 10 on it this way? Or do you need to use a bootable flash drive?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

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?
