Your existing PC seems to have several issues, possibly due to viruses and age. You're preparing for a new build, so you're considering whether reusing your old Windows product key will affect its stability or if it's safe to proceed.

It’s okay to use the product key again, but your previous PC could still have its Windows disabled. Just your present device will be affected.

It will be a completely fresh install of Windows The product key is only to activate the windows install on the new machine. No viruses will transfer over, completely safe. Just make sure you have a Retail windows key as this can be transfered to a new computer. If its an OEM key it will be tied to your current PC and can't be used again.
