Question Do I need to format a new SSD if using a Macrium Reflect Back up for the first time?

[Blackink]

My wife's laptop died. I'm pretty sure it's the SSD drive but it's at the repair shop now to get diagnosed. The laptop has 2 hard drives the 250GB SSD that we think is dead/dying, and a 500GB regular hard drive with a Macrium Reflect back up on it, along with other files & folders.
She's running Windows 10 Home on the laptop.

My question is, if I install a new SSD hard drive, this one: Samsung 500 GB SSD, plug in the USB with the Macrium Reflect info on it and boot from that and install the Macrium Reflect back up that is on the 500GB regular hard drive, will that process format the new SSD? Or do I even need to worry about formatting the new SSD?

Thanks....

What type of Macrium "backup" was created?
A full drive Image?

But no, you don't need to format it beforehand.

It was a full backup....
Sounds like I'm all set then.
Thanks!

Update: The 250GB Samsung SSD died that had Windows 10 on it....
Just want to report that the Macrium Reflect back up work perfectly on a new 500GB Samsung SSD.
I put the USB stick in that was created for a back up via Macrium Reflect's instructions, turned the laptop on, pressed F12 on the Dell keyboard to get into the boot menu, selected the San Disk USB and away it went!!! Macrium Reflect found the most recent back up, took about 20 minutes to install.
When done, the laptop was acting like nothing had happened to it!!!!

I've only used the Macrium Reflect back up for my desktop and that was just to test it to see how well it responded after a clean install of Windows 10. I wanted to know how it worked before I really needed it to work, if you know what I mean.

This laptop is many years old and I make a new back up for it once a month. I couldn't be happier with the results.
