[Zer8zUytl]

Is it recommended to do a clean install of Windows 11 on a new laptop ?
Read on lot of Youtube videos about same, hence the question.

If in any case, I have to do a clean install, kindly suggest step my step instructions to do same.

1. Setup Windows 11
2. Install Network Drivers first for better speeds
3, Complete All Windows 11 updates
5. Install other important Asus drivers etc. ?
--Need to know which drivers to install/begin with first ?
6. Install DDU to remove nvidia drivers from windows update in safe mode
7. Install Nvidia Geforce drivers from official site
8. Install any other tools/utilities
-- What ca n be installed in last ?

Thanks.

Yes, a clean install will get rid of bloatware, improving your performance.

This is what I did, my laptop works perfectly:

1. Setup Windows 11.

2. Install network driver from USB (or on some laptops Ethernet might work right out of the box, I don't think it did for mine, though).

3. Let Windows Update do all its updates.  Keep restarting and checking for Windows updates until it says you're up to date.

4. Download Nvidia Geforce Experience, which will allow you to easily download the latest drivers now and whenever new ones are released.

5. Download G-Helper instead of Armoury Crate and use the option in the "Extra" menu to stop all Asus services.
