    What is the best method & drivers to reformat a Surface Book 2 w GTX1060 and reinstall...


    I own a 15" SB2 with 16gb ram and a GTX1060. I just finished backing everything up, and am at a point where I feel ready to reformat. My GPU has not been functioning properly, and my overall system performance is extremely sluggish compared to when I got the SB2 new.


    • What are the best drivers for each component (ram, cpu, gpu) to get up to speed quickly for each component once I perform the reformat?


    • What's the go-to method for reformatting? I haven't had to do this in a number of years, has the process changed?

    I want to start over from scratch to at least narrow down if the issues I'm currently suffering from are hardware or software related. Thanks in advance.
