new build question

hello looking at building my new pc and am wondering if i can just take my current m.2 ssd c drive and put it in the new one with no problems in on the most recent windows patch

There's potentially no problem,

 

what's recommended though, is after using old SSD in new machine, to completely reinstall Windows (which means erasing all other data in process),

 

it's recommended because all machines are different, and Windows during install accommodates itself based on the exact specs the PC has, even if you uninstall all old and install new drivers, there could be still few left that communicate in a way they would to the old parts,

 

which can sometimes work flawlessly without reinstall, but reinstall guarantees that any potential problems/lags/weirdness/stutter isn't caused by this.

so if i set the new pc up with some other hard drive as a clean install from a usb can i then put the ssd in and set it as the c drive after first start ?
