Finally got around to trying to Clean Install 10130 (x86 'downgrade' from my x64) in preparation for later this month.
It point blank refused to find a suitable partition, in spite of me trying various permutations and deleting and reformatting fresh ones
I left it a few days, during which there has been a flurry of new Builds, but, last night, I found 10162 and a fresh iso still wouldn't install
("We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one")
I suspect my old MBR/Partition Tables were confusing the installer and a bit of messing with Command Prompt and DiskPart did the trick

Just in case any of you planning your own clean installs find the same soon

Once going, it installed very quickly and seems much more polished and functional than 10130
