Using a old SSD for a new system

[R5Kyun]

I've got a kingston 240gb SSD that has windows 7 installed on it and I would like to use this drive in a new PC build that would be using windows 10. My question is can I just plug this SSD in and do a fresh install without problems? I don't care about the files on this SSD.

Yes by all means should be fine and work well hopefully

Yes.
Boot from your Win 10 install media, and press on.
When it asks 'where', select Custom.
Delete ALL existing partitions on that drive and continue.

before you take apart the old pc use an 8g usb stick and make the windows iso image. then make a folder called drivers and install the new mb drivers into it. also make a folder called bios and drop the newest bios into it. before you install windows 10 update your bios.

Why would you need to do that?

for the usb stick if you dont make the windows iso usb stick and you take your old pc apart how are you going to install windows on it cleanly. for the driver folder...windows may not have all the drivers needed when it loads. or it loads older drivers then that are online. having the chipset/ethernet and sound on the usb stick saves you time if the fresh install of windows is missing a driver. you dont have to go looking for it just install it from the usb stick. with amd and intel newer mb that are out there. there are updates for newer cpu and ram code and those code flaws found. when you buy a mb it can be one or two weeks off the ship or it could be a few months old.
