Question about migrating boot drive to a new build

Hi there, i had a quick question. i'm going ahead with a rebuild of my pc this weekend as i had issues with my old build, everything but the CPU and storage is being replaced. I have my boot drive as my m.2 Nvme, my question is, can i take it from my old pc, install it in the new motherboard of my new pc, and be able to just boot up from there? I've read a fresh install is recommended so i was wondering if i moved it over, booted up, and then reinstalled windows once my pc is all built, would that work/avoid any issues with drivers and the like? Or would it be better to format my boot drive before placing it in my new pc, and fresh installing from a flash usb?
