Your Interpretation is accurate :)
Except ...
Step 4 would normally be achieved by use of a bootable DVD or USB stick to perform the restore operation on a totally clean drive. ( ideally you would create this at stage 1) although there are downloads available if you forget )
Microsoft's OS upgrade systems have always been a weak point, so I tend to avoid upgrade where possible, although the Windows Ten one is about the best they've done
BTW I'm also an EaseUS user myself, (and make weekly images), so that is also an option if you are more comfortable with that way
