My SSD is connected as the C drive and the HDD as the D drive. I also have two 8GB USB drives nearby. Yes, I can back up data to the D drive.

I changed my school laptop to Windows 10 and it works well. An upgrade preserves your files and programs, while a fresh install starts with nothing and no existing data.

Yes, actually. The clean setup should show a prompt about which drive you wish to format and install Windows on. That will be your SSD. As long as you don’t select D:\, it should be fine. I usually leave D:\ and E:\ untouched during clean installations. Of course, keeping external backups is always a good idea.

We performed a fresh installation or an upgrade to ensure optimal performance and security. The reason was to address any issues from the previous version and to bring in the latest features.

I started with the original version. I ended up doing a fresh setup because I was facing Wi-Fi issues (turns out the issue wasn’t with my laptop, but with my ISP). It works now. Upgrading keeps your files safe, but a clean install usually avoids more problems since Windows installations tend to slow down over time.

Upgrading seems like the preferable option. I'm worried it might lead to issues, as some people reported problems like crashes.
