installation - How can I make a clean install of windows 8 if I did an In-place upgrade?

I am in the process of installing windows 8 using the upgrade assistant. At this very moment, it is downloading the files, and after it finishes, I think it will ask me to make an in-place upgrade or to make a clean install by creating media.


I plan to choose the in place upgrade, but if I choose that, will I have the option to create an ISO file later?.


Or is it a better idea to choose "create media" before installing? If I do that, will I still be able to keep all my stuff? Or does "create media" imply a mandatory clean install?


I know most time a clean install is a better option, but I first do want to make an in-place upgrade, and I want is to have the option of making a clean install if something doesn't work properly.


In another words, how can I make a clean install of windows 8 AFTER I already installed it via an in-place upgrade using the upgrade assistant?
