XPS 8100 Win 10 Clean Install to new SSD

Hi,

Hoping someone can give me some guidance on this.

I want to clean install Win 10 to a new Samsung Evo 850.

Since MS has apparently made it easier to activate Win 10 with a valid Product key I'm hoping this will work. I dont want to upgrade my existing (problem free) Win7 HDD, a clean install sounds better to me.

So if I

1 Disconnect all existing drives

2 Connect SSD to the first Sata port

3 Go into BIOS and select RAID as the sata controller

4 Boot from a Win 10 USB

5 Use the Key off the COA sticker (or use the getosstate.exe and genuineticket.xml backup plan)

6 Install Win 10

Iron out any problems (Broadcom NIC)

Does that look like a good plan?

Will I need any drivers during the install?

Thanks
