    Did a fresh install of Windows using the "Reset this PC" tool in settings, but I see some...


    Might have been exposed to a virus this morning, so I decided to do a clean install.

    I chose the options to keep none of my files and to do a deep erase which took a lot longer. But I see some files in the Windows folder that show a "date modified" of 2020 or 2019 even. Is that just the date they were made by Microsoft or does this tool not do a 100% new install? I don't want to risk any bad files having stayed behind somewhere.

    Thanks!

    If you having an issue installing a driver that worked before you formatted or wont install on a fresh build, sometimes this means hardware damage

    Fresh windows install help.

    Hi.
    I have Samsung Series 7 NP7005ZA-S0AUS laptop pc. I decided to do a fresh windows install so I used a flash drive to re-install windows (I formatted the hard drive at the begnining of the installation). When the laptop booted first time in the installation process, I got a screen saying boot menu but it's empty. I clicked alt+ctl+de, the laptop restarts and gets me back to the same screen. I entered the bios and made sure the hd is on the top of the list and save/restarted but same issue. I tried loading bios default settings and that did not help either. I noticed in the boot menu that there are exclamation marks next to the HD and the SATA DVD drives, not sure what that means but they were not there before. I honestly think a bios update can do the trick but there is no way to upgrade the bios of a samsung laptop without Windows like my case so I am stuck.
    Any help will be very much appreciated.
    Notice: The hard drive has 8GB msata built in.
