  1. Planning to clean reinstall Windows 10 - Will this affect my second hard drive?


    Hello, as I've said above I'm planning on doing a clean install of windows 10 to wipe out all my old files and settings since things have been getting slow lately. I've moved all my other programs to a second hard drive (A drive) I have in my machine, and just want the C drive to be affected by this wipe. I'm unsure if the windows install tool will just wipe my C drive, or if it will also wipe my A drive so I've come here for advice. Thank you.
