Windows 10: Windows 7 on New PC to Windows 10?

I am building my first PC. So I was looking online, and windows 10 keys are cheaper than buying the CD that installs windows 10. We have a windows 7 cd at home with the used code still that we could use to boot up the computer and THEN change it to windows 10 and put in the key. Would that work, or would that download a lot of unnecessary windows 7 stuff onto the computer? I have seen that microsoft officially claims that this does not work anymore, but I have seen other sources that claim that they have made it work. Thanks!

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

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?
