    Reformatting Hard Drive and Re-installing Windows 10


    My system was running really slow and I figured I had some spyware or malware dragging it. I reinstalled Windows 10 using the option to delete all files. After the re44install I'm having the same problem. On previous systems I have deleted the C: partition in DOS, then created it and formatted the drive.

    Reformatting Hard Drives.

    I am in the process of backing up my entire PC to an external hard drive including a system image. After backing up I want to reformat my existing internal hard drive that contains the windows 10 operating system. My question is: Can I reinstall windows
    10 after I have reformatted the hard drive ?
