Formatting drive with diskpart for a fresh OS install

This is what I'm planning to do and just want to know if I'm doing something wrong and are the commands for diskpart below in the correct order and properly used?

1. Insert Parted Magic flash drive and secure erase the SSD then eject the flash drive.

2. Insert Windows flash drive (created with media creation) enter CMD and open diskpart and use the following commands:

diskpart
list disk
select disk 0
clean all
create partition primary
format fs=ntfs label="Windows"
active
assign letter=c
exit

3. Reboot and enter Windows installation.

You don't need to do all that.
Just boot from the Windows install media and delete everything on the drive.

Then install Windows in the unallocated space.

If you want the easiest way to prepare for a clean OS install:

1. Boot from the Windows install media.
2. Pause at the first screen.
3. Enter Shift-F10 to open a CMD window.

4. Run diskpart:

5. Resume the Windows install.

Agreed
Also, disconnect any secondary drives.
