Because I encountered a lot of unnecessary stuff on my SSD (the boot drive), I thought about reinstalling Windows. I wanted to remove all unused programs and drivers, switching from AMD to Intel, so I wouldn’t need the old AMD drivers. Also, there are about 20GB left on the SSD. My idea was to move some important files from my SSD to a HDD, then format the SSD and reinstall Windows. But I’m wondering if this will actually work? (Sorry for the messy writing, I wrote this quickly and my English isn’t great)

It would function if you relocated your files or reinstalled them. Moving programs would be extremely difficult, so consider keeping the OS intact to retrieve files instead of trying to move them.

A tailored setup or fresh installation handles this—just keep the program files and documents in a folder named windows.old. After installation, you can remove that folder and everything will begin anew.
