Windows 10: Fresh Install of Windows 10 to my SSD

In case I need to do a fresh install of Windows 10, do I need to prepare my SSD in any way, or do I simply got to the Microsoft site and tell it to make a fresh install?

Thanks

hello,

I want to change from hard disk to SSD, but I want to do a fresh install of windows on SSD. I have upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10 for free, so I don't have any key. now on fresh install can use my current windows 10 activation?

 

Windows 10 nvlddmkm.sys system thread exception not handled

Previous install was 1709, can't remember the other number fresh installed on a SSD, Windows 10 Home

It did it exactly the same, so I thought maybe my Windows install was messed up, so I did a fresh install on a raid0 SSD(different from original),

Current install I'm trying is a brand new fresh Windows 10 home install, 1709 16299.192

I do have Windows 8.1 but it is on another hard drive.

 

Go to: Access Denied

Look under "Do you want to install Windows 10 on your PC?", you will find instruction to create a bootable USB unit. You can also do i fresh install from windows itself, but i would prefer the first option.

 

Here is information to create a Windows 10 flash drive to install Windows 10 from:
USB Flash Drive - Create to Install Windows 10

To do a clean install, you will boot from it, select the custom install option. delete every partition shown on the SSD (which will erase it), highlight the unallocated space and click next to let Windows recreate the partitions it wants and re-install Windows. If you are asked for a product key at the beginning, click the little link that says "I don't have a product key".

There is also this new tool from Microsoft:
Start fresh with a clean installation of Windows 10

Don't kow how well it actually works, though.

 

You don't need to do anything specific for installing on an SSD other than the above. Windows 10 works well with SSDs and configures itself accordingly.
