If there's already things / guide like that please let me know.

 

So, recently I've bought a new 240GB SSD for my system drive, I'm going to upgrade my old laptop by upgrading it's main system drive to SSD.

 

And I willing to do the clean setup, the OS I was going to install is Windows 10 Pro.


As the title suggest, is there any thing that I should do before and/or after I install the OS ? Or just by Clean Install the OS is just fine as it is ?

Thanks in advance.

Theres a site you can use to download all your drivers and software at once, not hunting around to 10 separate companies sites. I can't remember what its called, someone help me out.

 

EDIT: Ninite !!!! I remembered.

Don't worry, I've already prepare for that.

So, no any OS settings to be changed or tweaks like that?
