Get yourself some backup software, usually can find a free version from your hd manufacture and backup your partitions. Works a treat, fresh install, updates then software your gonna use then back up the partition. Saves so much hassle with reinstalls.
Ive used a version from Seagate for a few years, can back up my 128gb ssd in 5 minutes and be fully restored when needed in about 7 minutes, then let win update do its stuff and away you go.
