I use Windows and iOS. It makes me consider Android, but the main obstacle is the poor state of device support

WIndows 10 Fresh Start vs USB-based clean install
I want to perform a clean install of Windows 10 on my laptop (rather than reset to factory state). I understand my two options here are 1) Fresh Start (found in Windows Security app) and 2) Installation media from Microsoft's website. However I'm not sure of the pros and cons of each approach.
I would appreciate if anyone could clarify as well as let me know which approach they take and why.
Many thanks

Books about individuals or companies in tech
I recently read the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson. I'd never previously read a book on a major company or individual in tech. I found it very interesting and it's inspired me to read more.
Would appreciate some recommendations. In particular, but not at all limited to, books on Bill Gates and/or Microsoft.
Thanks!
