Consider a "clean" Win 10 Installation

If you use the Windows 10 free upgrade, your PC will still have any resident "bad stuff" on it.  So ... maybe you want to think about being able to use the free Win 10 upgrade but put it on a "cleaned" PC.  It will need to be the same PC on which you downloaded and installed the free upgrade, but you can then format the hard drive to clean it up and then re-install the free Win 10 software.  This will also give you a media set of the free upgrade to use in the future if you have to format the hard drive again.

This article from Window Secrets gives you two options and explains how the Win 10 free upgrade gets tied to the PC it was downloaded to.
