• It is easier with a fresh install, you can always use software to move the old drive contents over. I would rather have the clean install.

• Ummm, without an operating system, how is your hard drive going to know what to do? Of course you will need an operating system, luckily Windows 10 has been a good, stable option.

• You need *an* OS. It doesn't have to be Windows 10. This product is a USB stick that has Windows 10 on it, so you would need to have the computer off, plug it into a USB slot (preferably USB 3, the blue USB port if your computer has one. Can be plugged into any USB port though) and boot directly to the USB stick (normally need to hit the ESC key repeatedly right after power on until a 'boot options' screen comes up).
