Upgrade Win7/Win8.1 to Win10: Clean Install with SSD, Licensed Laptop, Windows Media Creation Tool

Hello.

It seems that until the end of December it is possible to upgrade Win7 and Win8.1 to Win10.

Having a laptop with a license (a sticker with the Windows 7 Home Premium series, which I think is the old way, i.e. no license saved in BIOS / UEFI) after replacing the disk with an SSD (so no system):

Do I need to install Win7 Home Premium to upgrade to Win10 Home later using the tools:

1). An update for assistive technology users
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/windows10upgrade

2). Windows media creation tool
https://www.microsoft.com/pl-pl/software-download/windows10

Is the use of either of the above two tools more / less recommended (are they options for each other?)

I would like to be sure: I understand that before installing Win10 Home I need to install Win 7 Home Premium and update (it cannot be done clean)?

Can I format the updated Win7 Home Premium to Win10 Home later, "with impunity", and install Win 10 Home "clean" from the latest image (Win10_1709_Polish_x64.iso). Do the MS servers "remember" that the installation of the Win10 Home system on this machine is correct / legal - in the sense that the system automatically activates? (understand that i won't need to enter any key anymore)?

Anticipating the suggestions to transfer the old system from HDD to SSD - I no longer have access to the old disk (hardware failure).

Once you've upgraded, you can install Windows 10 cleanly later.

First, one formal remark - "promotion" has expired quite a long time ago (I omit the part of it that concerns "accessibility"), and the possibility that exists - in fact not different from the promotion rules - is, to put it mildly , "informal".
Therefore, while in the case of home users it can be assumed that the whole thing is to some extent safe, in other situations some BSA or other "authorized entities" may have reservations about the update from Windows 7/8 to 10 under the conditions "promotion". - That's it from the point of view of legalism.
The above comments do not apply in any way - apart from the reservations mentioned in point 4 (a). a license - a situation in which the promotion was used in the first year after the premiere of Windows 10.
Now the "substantive" part - if Windows 10 has already been activated (no matter during the "promotion" period or after it has expired), then changing the disk does not require reinstalling the base system. All you need to do is clean installation and skip entering the key - activation will be maintenance-free.
As for the choice of options - "for the disabled" and "ordinary" - the only difference is that in the first case, the unauthorized person is knowingly lying (construction of the description of access to the update), and in the second, he consciously uses Microsoft's omission (see: the first part of this post ). Consequently, unless the issue of legalism is taken into account, the choice of the updating path does not matter.
The servers remember what version of the base system was updated, and thus what version of Windows 10 is correct from the point of view of reactivation. It does not matter whether the same version will be reinstalled or the media will contain the current (newer) system compilation.

I think I have captured everything.
