Advantage of Clean Windows 10 Install for XPS 8900
Hello,
Any performance gain to do a clean install of Windows 10? Currently, on 10 Home. I have the opportunity to get 10 Education for a low price through school.
In addition, would like to load the OS on a SSD.
Thanks for the help!

Yes there is a performance gain in performing a clean installation. You should feel a significant performance boost particularly after upgrading to a SSD. You will need to use the Academic Media Creation Tool to Download a Windows 10 Education .iso (opposed to the Retail/OEM one for your Home OEM license) once you have the Education Product Key:

On this model the SecureBoot and UEFI should already be enabled.
