Would my factory reset HDD affect my new OS or vice versa?

Okay, so I'll try not to confuse you. I want to wipe my current HDD so I can put it in my new computer. I'm having a lot of trouble using Data Destruction Programs, so I was curious if I did a Factory Reset on my current computer(Wiping everything off my HDD besides the OS) would I still be able to use it my new computer when I install A brand new OS, or would they interfere with eachother? I know this is kind of a confusing thing to figure out, but I'm just really stumped and don't know what else to do. Any help is appreciated, Thanks.

Just put it in the new PC
During the OS install, when it asks 'Where', select Custom
Select each partition, delete
Leaving one large space.
Let the OS install to that space, creating what it needs.
