Confused about installing Windows 10.

[mish]

Hi,

I'm going to be installing Windows 10 this evening but I'm a little confused lol.

I've just purchased a key from the site named after a South American river and have the key and links to the download, but I'm confused as I don't know if I need to upgrade from within win 7 or just make the bootable USB and just do a fresh install.

Sorry if this has probably been answered somewhere before!

Here's the confirmation email...I should maybe have read it lol. Looks like i need to do a fresh install?

So I'm guessing a fresh install? It's been a long week!

I'll try a fresh install - i did have a google, but some say to upgrade first or the key won't be valid, hence my confusion!
