Windows 10: Will windows 10 reset - delete everything option wipe my other drives?

Hi,

I want to format my PC using the windows 10 reset function and it gives an option to wipe everything, as in all the data.
I have several other hard drives connected internally and externally, will they be affected by the wipe?

I only want to format and erase all data on the C drive

Thanks

:)

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
