Windows 10: Need help doing a clean install on a new PC

Hi, first of all i want to clarify that my english is not perfect, im from Argentina and im still learning.

I have a problem when i try to install the OS in my new PC, when i turn it on it shows the logo and the text correctly (press F2, F6, etc). When i put in the USB and try to run it, it shows a black screen for a few seconds only to turn into a blue with horizontal black lines or a orange with white lines one. If i press start it changes for a few seconds and if i press esc goes back to the start, wich make my think that the instalation is actually running and that there is a graphic problem. However, im still not entirely sure.

I have an Asrock X370m-HDV and a GPU AMD 5500 xt

I've seen people have this same issue specially in laptops that have Bitlocker, but like i said, both of the drives are brand new, and its the first day i turn on this PC. First i tought it was the pendrive, but i changed it and nothing, then i tried taking off the GPU and it dosen't even gave video (on the VGA motherboard port), so im desperate, and i really apreciate the help because i need this not only to play with friends but also to work.

Again, sorry for my awful english, i hope you can help me.

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.

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?
