Yes, that would work. It'll even prompt you after the initial setup to upgrade to Windows 10, provided you're connected to the internet during that time.

Quick question. I'm planning on rebuilding a second PC with some old parts laying around. I noticed W10 is fairly expensive to buy right now like $200 bucks. I could get W8.1Pro for about $60. Could I upgrade to W10 right away from that? Wasn't sure if W8 copies purchased today still get that free upgrade, or if it was only existing W8/W7 PCs. Anyways, figured this would be an easy way to save $140 bucks. If anyone knows if this works, let me know! Cheers.
