    Does reinstalling Windows 10 on my C partition affect other partitions


    I am a relatively inexperienced computer user and am having many crashes at present, with various reasons given for the crashes. I am contemplating doing a reinstall of Windows 10 and saving no files,etc - a clean install! If I do this will the contents of my partitions named D, F and G, be affected by the reinstallation or will they remain the same with no changes?

    :)

    Does a Clean Install of Windows 10 affect ONLY the C Drive

    I have several partitions/drives (d,e,f,g) on my computer. I also have a manufacturer's recovery partition/drive for Windows 8.1.

    Will a bootable installation created by the Media Creation Tool affect these other partitions/drives?

    In other words, does a Clean Install affect only the C drive?

  3. Resize Windows 10 Hard Disk Without Affecting Recovery Parttion

    Hi,

    I just bought a new Lenovo IdeaPad 320, with Windows 10 pre-installed with 2 active partition (C and D) with One Key Recovery Partition (which is located at end of disk holding size of 1000mb).

    Size of C drive is too large, and I also want to create other partitions to organize my data easily.

    So, I want to reduce the size of C drive to make other partitions, but
    WITHOUT AFFECTING Recovery Partition, which is located at last of holding size of 1000mb.

    How can I do it without affecting my Recovery Partition?

    If I shrink C Drive volume, and create other drives, it will affect Recovery Partition?

    Does reinstalling Windows 10 on my C partition affect other partitions

    No, it does not affect anything in other drives. You try reset first. If it does not solve your problems, then format drive c and reinstall.
