Windows 10 pro 64-bit clean installation issue?

Hi,

Did clean install of windows 10 64-bit version but noticed few things which is as followers.

• While clean installing I had chosen "Custom: Install Windows only (advanced) " and formatted and wiped all the partition. Created new partition and noticed that system reserved 500MB. Whereas I have read in some website that system reserved 100MB or 350MB.
  But why in my case it has allotted 500MB for system reserved ?
• After clean installation successfully found my desktop wallpaper is same which was there In my previous OS. Since I have chosen clean install then why default wallpaper had not displayed? How come it displayed my previous OS wallpaper?
• In Control Panel Items I have noticed that Flash player (32-bit) why Flash player 64-bit is not installed?
• Any latest drivers for NVIDIA GeForce 7100 / NVIDIA nForce 630i for windows 10? Please mention latest driver version.
• I have 4GB installed memory (RAM) but it says only 3.87 GB usable whereas my system type is 64-bit OS, x64-based processor. Why it is not using all 4GB RAM even though my OS is 64-bit?
• Did clean install was done properly due to above problem?

Or

I am ready to reinstall windows 10 64-bit OS again if I made any mistake (based on above question)

How to format the Hard disk by third party free software and clean install windows 10 in it?

Please note

• I had downloaded official windows 10 pro iso from Microsoft and chose architecture - Both (32-bit and 64-bit).
• My BIOS Mode is Legacy.

Thanks in advance for helping my queries.

Bye,

Siva
