Hi there :)

 

Could you share your full system specs? What storage drives are you using? Do you have a SSD in your system. 

Checking for fragmentation is a good thing for HDDs but you should avoid that on SSDs. Running drive optimization from the OS should do that. 

Also, make sure you check your storage's health. 

 

Doing a fresh install will remove the old OS and its registry so you will need to reinstall all your applications and games due to the new system registry. 

 

You should be able to reuse the same key on the same system since you are reinstalling the same OS on the same system. :)

If this helped you, like and choose it as best answer - you might help someone else with the same issue. ^_^

You should be able to use a tool from the manufacturer's website or, as @deXxterlab97 suggested you could use a third-party application.

 

Did you manage to get the S.M.A.R.T. data with the raw values? Could you post a screenshot of it?
