Hello!
The more I read, the more confused I get. I would like to do a clean install of windows 8.1. I can't use Windows reset or repair function, which I have used before. Now it is saying "drive where Windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive to try again" and when I'm trying to reset "unable to reset your PC. A required drive partition is missing" After reading a little bit I got confused.
Windows is OEM version. When I got the computer. It had windows 8 in it. Later I updated it to 8.1.
There are two hard drives. One is main 500gb hard drive with two partitions. C: - Where are programs and windows files and D: - Where are all my files, that I don't want to lose.
Also there is 24gb ssd drive. I have no idea how computer is using that right now.
In previous versions and computers everything was simple. Download windows, make an iso, burn the disc, enter the code, install windows on drive C and install all the programs again.
But how should I approach now if I want to make my computer like new again?
Thank you!
