I'm building a new computer, ill make this question quick.

Should I install a fresh copy of windows on my SSD that I'm reusing from my old computer, or just let it be? Should I wipe the drive completely and redownload everything? I know it doesn't really make a difference, but since I'm using the same SSD I'm guessing I shouldn't worry about it?

My personal preference is to do a clean install remove all the crap that most of accumulate on our systems. That will also eliminate and corruption or malware if there is any lingering on the system.

If you have means to backup your files, I would suggest that you perform a new CLEAN install of Windows 10..
