Best practice would be to reinstall Windows fresh.

When changing platforms i usually backup my files and just do a clean reinstall of OS

If it is indeed a HDD then the BEST thing to do would be to get an SSD and install Windows on that, then recover everything you need from the HDD at your leisure.  Then format the HDD once you're done and use it for games that don't benefit from an SSD so much.
