    Hi,

    Yes, once you have upgrade to Windows 10 and activated your copy of Windows 10, then you can perform a clean installation and that wouldn't affect your activation status.

    Cant check for confirmation on reserve of windows 10 and i've reserved the update for over a month

    so my windows wouldn't be genuine and activated if I upgrade through the media tool?

    Nobody said that. Whether you select upgrade this PC or make media and upgrade with that, you are using the media creation tool. If the old OS is activated, the Windows 10 installed will be activated.
    Just do NOT start the computer with the media. Start the computer and THEN insert the media.
