win 7 pro x64 Clean/Install Help(Reinstall on SSD)
I currently have Win7ProX64 installed on a Samsung 850-250 (Model Mz 75E20) SSD. This installation was done12-16-15.
I would like to do a Clean/Install of Win7x64Pro on this same SSD but, I'm not clear on how to do this. It's my first time to do this using a SSD. In this past when doing this on the old platter HDD I would run the "Write Zeros" Utility to ensure all data was wiped.(this was after making back-ups of all files, etc I wanted to save).A bit overkill I know :) I realize this is not something I can/should do on an SSD.
How do I proceed for this SSD (Just a normal win7 Clean Install Using My Original MS win7x64CD (or is there an ISO that will work better?)Do I need to Reformat the SSD or just overwrite the SSD?
The last ISO of Win 7 Pro X64 w/SP1 I downloaded from ms on 11-1-14. Do I need A more current Version? Is there a Download that would include more Updated Windows Updates( or some method that is faster than the individual download of MSupdates?
Thank you for any help/comments.
