If I were you, I would make a factory recovery disc of your current operating system before doing a clean install of windows 8. Just in case something goes wrong. To create a recovery disc, type in recovery in Start menu. Usually it will say Create Factory recovery disc or something similar.

If you have trouble doing clean install, during the setup pick custom installation and it should let you do clean install

Note that if your processor is not capable of a 64-bit OS, you will run into problems later on
 


If the cpu doesnt support 64 bit it wont install at all
