I am building a new PC, but reusing a few older components. I bought a couple SSDs a few months back as a mini upgrade so they are essentially new and work great.

My plan was to do the physical build, wipe the main SSD (where my OS is currently installed), and use my new Windows 10 dvd to install Windows on the freshly wiped drive.

My main question is when or how to wipe the drive. I don't know the process. Will I be asked to wipe drives during Windows setup? Should I do that in advance?
