Iā€™ve got a new PC build with Ryzen 5 5500. I first installed Windows 10 and immediately updated to Windows 11. Someone just told me a fresh Windows 11 install would be better. Is it worth it?

A fresh install, in theory, would always be better or preferred. That being said, Windows has improved a lot, so much so, that many users donā€™t reinstall the OS every 3-5 years like many did decades ago.

So if you donā€™t notice any problems, youā€™re probably okay. Still, it wouldā€™ve been better to just install Windows 11 from the start.

Thanks for the tip. While I think itā€™s fine, Iā€™m doing a clean install since I only just set it up. If I donā€™t Iā€™ll just keep wondering if I made a mistake.
