Do you mean can you just boot straight from the disk / iso / usb from the bios? Yes
Remember to not input a serial number though just skip that step.

I did the same also, clean installed a few hours ago, and activated in seconds. 
Yes if your eligible for the 64 bit home version, you should be running 64 bit now
Yes just download the iso and double click it so windows mounts it then run the setup.
Make a backup first if your worried

If you have anything important I stress you should always make a back, parity and all. Otherwise nuke it with extreme prejudice.

bit annoying that the screen goes off on on when you connect and disconnect the power cable on a laptop, other than that seems pretty ok so far

Until the updates come
To be fair if you know how to maintain a system, it rarely goes over 25GB Unless you have loads of programs.

Went for a clean install option, but it wasn't exactly clean. It tried to keep my name in the users folder, except it missed the 'n' my name, so now I have a girls name.. Downloading the ISO and going for a re-install.

haha true! I am only installing what I use on a day to day basis at the moment including drivers etc. Games(well GTAV) will be installed tomorrow and we shall see how that goes!
Some people are talking about adding this to the hosts file to stop windows 10 doing all its tracky stuff. Ive added it to mine and will report back if it breaks anything major

The instructions for advanced driver installs are slightly wrong, and the screens are worded slightly differently.
Also.. I would actually prefer to be prompted to install drivers rather than just saying no... but there isn't an option for that
