I want to clean install Windows 10 on a Windows 7 system. I downloaded a windows 10 ISO file and created an installation DVD. Do I need to perform an upgrade from Win 7 first and then perform a clean install of Win 10? One source I've read says that this is no longer necessary (How to clean install Windows 10 and create boot media).
📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses whether a Windows 7 user needs to upgrade to Windows 10 before performing a clean install. The original poster asks for clarification, and a responder confirms that Microsoft no longer requires an upgrade beforehand, allowing users to directly perform a clean install of Windows 10. The overall sentiment is that a direct clean install is now possible without upgrading first.
