I upgraded mine from 10166 to 10240 via WU and then did a clean install, it activated straight away after the install.

officially there is no iso available for download yet. (which ms has announced that there will be one at later dates)

unofficially, you can grab a copy of leaked w10 rtm iso from the internet and use it to do a clean install.

Yes there is, MSDN image is up and the download links from MS server are as below.

so i just finish install my Windows 10 (fresh install from iso). but when i applied my Windows 8 product key it didnt work.

You need to upgrade from your current 7/8.1 first only can do clean installation. Windows 10 uses different authentication method, MS will remember your hardware ID now instead of key, so by upgrading from your genuine 7/8.1, your OS generates a hardware report which consists of your hardware ID and this will be sent to MS server, so next time when you do clean install, you don't have to insert any key, it will auto activate by itself.

Let me get this straight. I already downloaded the ISO last night in preparation for a clean install.

So I can just straight away upgrade from the ISO(via USB of course). I am worried I will mess up the activation process.
*
Mount the iso in your current windows, then click setup.exe in the mounted iso and let the upgrade process to complete before clean install.

so just extract the ISO using 7-zip > open setup.exe > run it and choose upgrade
once finish run then can do clean install by using windows 7/8/8.1 cd key to activate windows 10 right ?
*
Yes, mount the ISO in your current Windows, run setup.exe and let the upgrade process to complete, when boot into Windows 10, check if Windows is activated, if yes, proceed to clean install and just skip whatever screen that is asking for product key, it will be activated automatically after you finish the installation.

I have a question...
Currently I upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 8...
After installed, i checked via AIDA64, my product key for Windows 10 is different from Windows 8...
So, is it work if later i do format Windows 10 using product key i get from AIDA64?
*
If you have upgraded from Windows 7/8.1, then you can just format without inserting any product key next time, Microsoft remember your hardware ID now instead of using key.

I mean, if next i want to do clean format Win 10 without upgrade from Win 8... Is it the key for current Win 10 can use?

As explained earlier, if you have upgraded from previous Windows (7/8.1), then you can format anytime without using any key on the same upgraded PC.

When prompted to insert product key, just press "Skip" and it will automatically activated itself after boot into Windows if you are connected to the Internet.

Let say my HDD spoil and i would start from scratch.
It would take time if i need to format Window 8 first then upgrade to Windows 10.
So my question, just format direct to Windows 10 using key i get from AIDA64 "WITHOUT" install and upgrade from Windows 8..
*
It seems like you don't get my point.

Once you have upgraded, you can clean install anytime on the same PC (same motherboard, HDD/SSD/GPU etc can change), the key you get from AIDA64 is a generic key, everyone who upgraded from Windows 7/8.1 will get the same key, it is not your unique Windows 10 key.

Need to change to supported region (US, UK, China etc.) to use Cortana in control panel.

You need to upgrade to Win 10 from Win 7 first then only can clean install Win 10 next time.

Win 7 key cannot be directly used on Win 10.
