Hi, I need to do a fresh windows install but want to keep my stuff, if i disconnect my HDDs (where stuff is not OS) and leave my SSD in (where OS is), could I perform a fresh install on that, plug my HDDs back in and still have the same stuff? Cheers

Yes. Unplug the HDD and install to SSD. Anything on the SSD will be lost but because the HDD is disconnected, nothing will be lost. Any applications will work but need to be reinstalled for proper integration.
