I had problems with the Win 10 anniversary upgrade on my tablet so I decided to do a fresh install of Win 10. I formatted the drive and started the Win 10 install. The install would not finish and trashed my tablet. Thankfully I had created an image using Macrium prior. The restore took quite a long time but it went without a hitch.
You did not mention how exactly,you were trying to do that clean install of Win 10. MY guess is, it was your inexperience and how you tried to get Win 10 back on the tablet that was the reason you had no luck with the clean install. I have done a bunch (and I mean a bunch) of Win 10 clean installs and never have not succeeded or "trashed" a device. Done correctly, installing Win 10 is just a process that takes a little time. As for disk image restore.... well, you placed back on the hard drive an image of your ole Windows. Who knows what condition that install was in.. Far, far better would have been a clean install.
