hi guys, ive read the how to install windows 10 guide on this website ( http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-2569562/install-windows.html ) and a few of the guides and i just have some questions before i get started.


  • ive just read this guide ( http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-3091512/clean-install-windows-upgrade.html )and im finding i cant find the file i need. theres no sources folder or x64 folder.

    also im wondering if i can just make a microsoft account before i do the installation and if that will be quicker, and what it will change. i plan on basically doing this http://imgur.com/a/2Zgq5 after the install so im wondering if that will effect it.

    Also im wondering if i should reset all my OCs on my video cards, memory and CPU?

if it helps i have the full version of windows 7 (not OEM) and still have my code from that, im wondering if i can just use that code and skip the guide


system specs just in case are

ASrock extreme6
i5-4670k
HD 7950 X2
samsung 250GB Evo
1TB wdblue
corsair HX750
corsair vengeance 2133


thankyou for help
