I'm changing my motherboard and CPU soon and wondering which way to re-install windows is the best option. The motherboard is a new brand, along with my CPU which I'm going from LGA 1200 to LGA 1700. I've seen two ways to re-install windows. First way is by using windows installation media tool to download onto a flash drive, wipe the boot drive, and then reinstall onto the clean drive. Second way is by going into settings>recovery>Reset this PC.
Is there a difference between the two windows re-installation, if so which one of the two would be the best option for during my upgrade process? Also, if the the first way is the best, is wiping the boot drive necessary or just better in the long run?
