So I just realised windows 10 is available to dl, so instead of cloning my current os onto my ssd can I just chose to dl windows 10 onto my ssd? or is that not how it works

No, that's not really how it works for an upgrade install. You'll still need to clone your OS to your SSD, preferably prior to upgrading.
