Re-install a clean Windows 10

I updated manually to Windows 10 from 8.1, I have a few little issues that I can't solve so now I just want to reformat and do a clean install of 10. What's the easiest way of doing so? I was just going to use the media creation tool to stick it on a USB and go from there but what about the key?

Make sure Windows 10 is activated first
Do a clean install via a USB pen. It will ask you twice for key just skip those steps. Once installed it will automatically activate as activation is set against a Mobo Id rather than a key in Windows 10.

I installed from USB and did as Drizmod said skipping past when asked for a key. Installed and activated just fine and it didn't take long either.
