Hello all,
So I have been using my laptop with win 8.1 for more than a year now and of late I made the mistake of installing some crap softwares which even though i immediately removed, still left some traces in the system due to which my machine has slowed down to a crawl..
Now i want to format my pc without loosing the data..
I have 4 disk partitions, of which windows is installed on C drive...
Win 8 gives the option to refresh the install, but i want to make sure that everything installed in c drive and c drive only would be removed and not any other drives...
So can anyone confirm that if i choose the refresh option, all data from c drive would be removed and other data in other drives would be safe?
Thanks,
J
