No. It is recommended to clone the drive if you want to keep all of the data that is already preloaded. You can start with a fresh drive and load whatever version of operating system you desire. If you go the fresh install route, it is highly recommended to download the device drivers, firmware, etc. before either formatting the SSD or installing a new one. Be sure to download the drivers from HPs website for everything aside from CPU and GPU if you are planning to clean install Windows, otherwise, just grep what you need for Linux distros.
