Unless there are problems, it wouldn't be worth the effort. I've handled installations across several systems without any issues myself. People's experiences can vary depending on their setups, but I wouldn't just reinstall Windows without trying first. As mentioned at the start, if you're not facing any issues, I'd just proceed.

IME days of needing to reinstall due to hardware issues are behind us. I haven't had to do that in over a decade. Your system likely has thousands of drivers pre-installed, using only what it requires.
