Windows 10: Windows 10 for new workstation builds - new to Win10 installing

Hello all, coming over here from Seven Forums since M$/Intel are basically forcing Win10 upon us with these newer motherboards.

I work in a small architecture firm, and am responsible for basically all the tech in the office. We used to always order Dell workstation builds, but in the last few years we've moved towards the custom workstation builds, which I order and assemble/install/test myself. The last systems I built were almost exactly 3 years ago when I built 2 identical Win7 systems for me and a co-worker, with the setup I have listed in my profile. Those builds used the Intel Z97 chipset, and had no issues installing Win7.

Now I have the parts for 2 new systems (boss and another co-worker) which will have the H370 chipset, which requires Windows 10 apparently, which I only found out after ordering 2 physical Win7 copies and now am having to RMA them and order Win10 product keys.

So my question is, being this is my first time actually installing Win10, what do experienced people recommend for Win10 systems being used in an office environment? We have a file/domain server box running Server 2012 R2, which appears to have a similar UI to Win10. I've looked through the Clean Install Windows 10 tutorial, and as I understand it I can just download the latest build directly from Microsoft and create an installation flash drive. Can I also slipstream updates in with it that were released since the latest Win10 build? My main concern that I'd like to avoid is having to sit through hours and hours of Windows Updates with endless rebooting, like I did when I built these last 2 Win7 systems.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

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?
