How to refresh the page when using a "Link to" in React router?-CodePudding

A bit new to react & I'm trying to make a simple linear page flow. When the link is clicked in the Login component, I want it to go to the Select page without displaying the previous page. At its current state, the link simply adds the Select page without refreshing anything.

App code:

import Login from "./pages/Login";
import Select from "./pages/Select";
import { createBrowserHistory } from 'history'
//import React from "react";
import {
    BrowserRouter as Router,
    Switch,
    Route,
    Link
} from "react-router-dom";

const history = createBrowserHistory()

function App() {
    return (
        <div className="fnb">
            <Router>
                <Switch>
                    <Route exact path="/" component={Login} />
                    <Route exact path="/select" component={Select} />
                </Switch>
            </Router>
        </div>
    );
}

export default App;

import React from "react";
import {
    BrowserRouter as Router,
    Switch,
    Route,
    Link
} from "react-router-dom";
import Select from "./Select";

function Login() {
    return (
        <div>
            <p>
                this is the login
            </p>
            <Router>
                <Link to="/select" {window.location.reload();}>
                    go to select page
                </Link>

                <Switch>
                    <Route exact path="/select" component={Select}/>
                </Switch>
            </Router>
        </div>
    );
}

export default Login;

Select code:

import React from "react";

function Select() {
    return (
        <div>
            <header>
            <p>
                this is the select
            </p>
            </header>
        </div>
    );
}

export default Select;

https://stackoverflow.com/a/49162423/10787450 here is the answer. I think that exact param in the app component is the problem. Just remove it from Route.
