    How to format all drives and install windows 10?


    I saved my data and made a bootable usb drive. Now the only thing I want to know is will reinstalling windows automatically format all 3 of my drives and can I also select on which drive I want to install windows? I have one 250gb SSD, one 500gb SSD, one 1tb HHD and I want to install it on the 250gb ssd.

    p.s I WANT to format all drives.

    How to format on Windows 7

    just format from the installer on the windows 7 DVD. the options there when you choose which drive to install on.


    i suggest partiotining the drive, i run with a 60GB C: drive, but then move my user folder to the D: partition - so that when i format/reinstall, my desktop/my docs, etc, dont get lost.

    How to format all drives and install windows 10?

    Windows 10 formatting ?

    Hello all
    I have 3 hard drives
    1 sata 1 tb with Windows 10
    2 older drives that are ide that I use for apps and data and not clutter my main drive.

    I will be replacing the 2 older drives with a 2 tb data drive

    I am thinking of formatting my main drive and starting all new and reloading everything.

    My problem is that I was on Windows 7 pro 64 bit and got Windows 10 pro 64 bit upgrade free.
    So don't have Windows 10 CD or a code for it. So if I format will I be able to get Windows 10 for free
    Or I'll I have to buy the CD.
    Don't really want to spend 200.00 bucks right now.

    Have not formatted in a while what's the best way now a days ?

    Thanks Ruben
