I have a windows 7 PC that has a faulty hard drive. What I want to do is replace the hard drive with a SSD and upgrade to Windows 10, but am unsure about what steps to take and in what order.

The machine is still bootable and appears to work although there are loads of errors in the Event logs indicating the faulty hard drive.

I have downloaded the Window 10 Pro ISO and what I’d like to do ideally is…
1) Replace the hard drive
2) Clean install Windows 10
However, I suspect that it wouldn’t let me do that as it wouldn’t appear to be an upgrade. So as I see it the options are probably…
1) Upgrade the current hardware to Windows 10 (I think this would still work, judging on current performance of the PC)
2) Replace the hard drive
3) Clean install Windows 10
Or
1) Replace the hard drive
2) Clean install Windows 7
3) Upgrade to Windows 10

I would greatly appreciate any advice.

Many thanks,

Gary
