New build new install?

Quick question regarding new builds.
Would you reinstall windows or just move the nvme over from the previous machine.

Both intel.

It has recently been newly installed so didn’t need to reinstall it if I could help it or would you ghost the image off and put it back on?

What’s your preferred way of doing it?

Personally, over the years I have always just simply done a fresh install.

Couple of reasons for my own thinking (but I am honestly not sure if they are valid any longer) are that it would ensure my machine is back to "bare bones" Windows and I could then just reinstall the apps I was now using at the time.

And in my own previous experience I never fully trusted moving drives between motherboards and typically would have random issues which then took time to fix and workout.
