Windows 10: Can I remove ransomware by formatting disks and reinstall window?

My laptop is infected by ransomware having .gusau and then .lapoi extension.

I tried to install STOPDecrypter of Demonslay335, but when I download the software achieved in .zip to my laptop, the file immediately infected, therefore, it is unable for me to install the software.

I wonder will these virus be removed if I format all disks in my laptop, and then reinstall the window?
