If you're coming from Windows 7 bios to a UEFI boot, then chances are a clean install will be required. If you're coming from Windows 8/8.1 then an upgrade will probably be just fine.
We just got a bunch of new machines at work that came with windows 7 and our boss wants them all to have 8.1, so I've had to make changes to all the hard drives and boot processes in order to install 8.1 as there was no option to simply upgrade it.

I think this is probably best practice - Windows 10 was designed from the ground up to be upgraded from 8 - many of the problems with the migration from 7 to 8 were, anecdotally, were upgraders.
I never "upgraded" from 8 and it never affected my life or functionality. I'm doing a new build when Skylake drops and, without hesitation, I will skip 8 in favor of 10.
