    I want to purchase and install Windows 10 on a new drive


    Maybe I'm missing something since I'm used to having a physical disc to do a new install. I'm running Windows 7 on my desktop but want to install 10 on a different drive. Am I supposed to download 10 from Microsoft, buy the USB version??? It gives 2 options to purchase. I want to keep 7 at this time where it is and want to do a clean install of 10 on the other drive.

    :)

    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?
