Hey team, let's clarify a few points. You're using an XPS 15 9530 with a 512GB SSD shipped with the laptop and a 2TB SSD installed. You're planning a clean Windows 11 install with specific goals: keep your local Windows account intact, avoid the desktop being under an "Onedrive" folder, fix some issues that pop up especially when updates are available, and prevent the PC from shutting down during updates. You also upgraded the Windows key from HOME to EDU and suspect this might affect performance. You mentioned wanting to clean up the system and are considering Rufus, Dell OS Recovery Tool, or a fresh install via the tool. Regarding your questions:

1. Which method should you pick?
2. Do you need to physically swap the SSDs inside the laptop?

Let me know your thoughts!
