I've been grappling with some serious issues on my PC, and since no one seems to have helpful insights, I'm considering going all out. Is it better to use the "reset my PC" option and pick the choice to remove personal files, or should I stick to a traditional fresh install using installation media? What do you think?

Going for a fresh install through a USB is definitely the best route. It gives you a clean slate without the chance of leftover junk messing up your system.
I highly recommend doing a fresh install. Just prepare your installation media and wipe everything clean. Also, you might want to check if your motherboard's BIOS needs updating before you install Windows. That makes a difference!
Wait, I thought you install Windows first and update the BIOS afterward. Is updating BIOS before installing Windows really necessary?
