    Clean Install on a Working SSD?


    My current installation has been upgraded several times from Windows 8 to Windows 10. What do I need to do to wipe the current installation on the SSD and do a new clean install?

    For an SSD just do a clean install, and choose custom, when the partitioning option comes up, and delete all partitions, then let the installer set the partitions.

    After installation Windows will run garbage collection and TRIM, and nothing will remain of past installs.
