Thanks Sajin.
Sorry for the late reply, ill do a clean install over the weekend.

How should I make sure all my system drivers are up to date? I've never done a clean install before. Doing a clean install, it wont automatically update me to the newest windows 10 build right? i'll have to run the windows update service to update all my windows drivers right?

I have the disk for my graphics card and my motherboard, when do I plug those in to make sure the system starts up right?

Thanks

I probably should've been more clear.
First time I did a reset or refresh. through Windows. Which reinstalled the OS but then kept my documents and pictures (not applications)

Second time I did it, it was a reset.
I used "reset this PC and don't keep any files"
Which to my knowledge is the same as a clean install, as it formats the disks and reinstalls the OS without keeping anything but the OS.

Still worth doing a fresh install...?

Alright, Thanks! I'll create the installation media tomorrow when I get home and I'll do the fresh install soon.

For my motherboard, what drivers do I need? Just bios?
And I don't need any drivers for my SSD or HDD right?

You could update your motherboard bios to the latest version if it isn't fully up to date. All the drivers listed are all you need.
