MUST I upgrade before I have access to an ISO for installing from scratch or can I choose to save an ISO when I get my free copy?
Yes, you must undergo an in-place upgrade from Win7/8/8.1 to Windows 10. Your license will be consumed and converted to a full/activated license for Windows 10 of an equivalent version (e.g. Win7 x64 Pro = Win10 x64 Pro). It appears you will be able to download an ISO and/or create recovery discs that will allow for a fresh install of Win10.
As an aside, the "upgrade" procedure changed in Windows 8 in that the upgrade process is now performing a clean install and migrating files/applications where able. Many people fall into the "I-used-to-do-PCs-but-haven't-upgraded-hardware-or-actually-reinstalled-windows-in-many-years" camp, and missed this critical change as a result. The Win7/8/8.1 upgrade to 10 is effectively a clean install, but your programs happen to be there when you're done.
If you're still really anal about a blank slate install, you'll be able to do it after you jump through the license exchange hoop.

Don't forget that if you're planning on switching now, you can't use Verizon with any GSM phone you choose.
That's not strictly true. There are phones that have both CDMA and GSM antennas. Example

Re: TF2 Gun Mettle Update
Digi's Gun Mettle Blog: Day/Week 4
Dat Cutie Miss Pauling hooked it up again with 2 New Contracts
Open Contract
Score Points: 1 CP
(Advanced)Score 10 points in a single life: 10 CP
Medic Contact
Score points as Medic: 2 CP
(Advanced) Get an assist with an Ubered Demoman: 10 CP
(Advanced) Assist in destroying a sentry while Ubered: 20 CP
These two are very complimentary. Easy to score points as a medic and that plays into both of these. Played behind the front line and just built up assist and heal points. Of coarse the Spies were an issue but only slightly infuriated me a little. The hardest part was finding a pub that went after the sentry when ubered. Pugs are so different than the Icrontic server.
Already had one. Immediately sold it on the market to profit a few cents.
Sweet. Now I have one of each for the collection.
I've continued to play the market throughout the week. As of this morning (7/26) I am over 200 items acquired. Have sold about 1/2 of them back for profit and as I type this sit at $1.10 spent (not counting the initial $5.99 ticket and $2.49 key). This equates to about 89 unique weapon/condition combinations in my inventory currently.
I continue to wonder what I'm going to do with all these guns.
Prices for the Gun Mettle items continue to consistently crash each Tuesday and Friday nights. Tuesday when the new contacts come out and then Friday night when the majority of players get to play. Each of these causing a glut of new items on the market. Easily making your money back on the ticket is becoming increasingly difficult. You would be lucky to get a buck out of the cases at this point though I still believe they will go back up after the end of the update when the supply freezes. If I make it back to $0 spent on the update, I'll be content.
I've got my eye on a few Strange decorated weapons but holding out 'til closer to the end of the update to pull the trigger.
@oni_dels Thanks for joinin' in on my contract runs. Always fun to see an Icrontian randomly pop up on a kill cam 
@Idiot_Slayer Unless I am misinterpreting your screenshot, that is the most expensive item I have ever seen an Icrontian buy from the Steam Market. Enjoy that bad boy!
