Many of you often inbox for yourself via Fanpage or directly send questions through Gmail, and also apologize that I often cannot answer such questions. Because there are so many emails sent back every day, it is really difficult to manage those questions to answer for you. Therefore, if you have any questions you want to ask me, please comment directly through the related articles on the Blog, I will easily manage and read your questions to respond. faster.
Okey, the following are some of the most common questions I have about reinstalling Win for your computer, I will answer all in this article and will regularly update when there are other questions sent by readers. . OK!
1 / What does Win need?
Answer:
- Know how to access the BOOT MENU.
- Win disc or USB install Win.
- Learn how to install Win (during the installation process)
All the above requirements, I have a very detailed article about the process to complete the installation of a Windows operating system on a computer already. If you do not know, please re-read the article to do before installing Win!
2 / Will reinstall Win lose data on the computer?
Answer: All data on the partition you intend to install Win on is lost (usually drive C – the drive containing the operating system), in addition to the data outside the Desktop, the Download, Document, Picture … folders. all lost data because it is also in the partition of the operating system. Therefore, if there is any important data related to those folders, please copy to a partition containing other data.
Remaining data on other partitions (DATA partition) is not affected at all. You just understand this simple, when we reinstall Win, it will perform Format the partition you installed on, then it will copy all the system files on the Windows installer to this partition. And of course, Format any partition, that partition will lose data, it has nothing to do with the rest of the partitions.
Note: But be careful with choosing the wrong partition to install Win, many of you choose the wrong partition to install Windows, leading to losing all data on that partition. Ghost is the same, many of you do not know how ghosting should lead to ghost error, and of course the data flies clean. I have an article on how to recover data when ghost is mistaken, if you like, you can read through to understand more.
3 / In what format should the operating system be partitioned? NTFS or FAT32?
Answer: Of course it’s NTFS!
You may not know before, the era when Windows XP was still popular. At that time, many people used to leave FAT32 as the primary format for the operating system partition. Therefore, every computer is shut down suddenly for some reason, when booting up it will not be able to enter Windows, but it also performs Check Disk (hard drive error check) for quite a long time.
This will never happen if you leave the format as NTFS, for what reason, I have presented very clearly in the article comparing the differences between NTFS and FAT32. If you like, you can read it again!
4 / Should install Windows 7, Windows 8 / 8.1 or Windows 10?
Answer:
There are 2 operating systems that I We recommend that you choose Windows 7 or Windows 10. As for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, I personally think there is no reason for you to choose it. Why ?
Windows 10 has done very well what Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 have already. Flat, beautiful interface, innovative and modern features…. And I think it is the most complete version of Windows 8 and 8.1. One more important thing is that the Windows 8 and 8.1 operating systems are also similar to the Windows 10 operating system, sometimes even heavier and sluggish!
And why do I recommend using Windows 7?
Simply because this is a great version of Windows, the power delivery is also beautiful, friendly, smooth operation, the game is off the table…. Especially it doesn’t have the annoying Full disk 100% error like on Windows 8 and above. Therefore, Windows 7 is very suitable for mid-range computers.
As for whether to install Windows 7 or Windows 10, use 32bit or 64bit platforms, you can read a few more analytical articles below to understand:
5 / After installing Win, will the software installed on the computer be lost?
Answer: Lost it all!
This sentence coincides with the number 1 question I answered for you already. When reinstalling Win, it will perform Format the partition to install Win again, but when installing the software, by default it will be installed in the partition containing the operating system.
Unless you choose another partition to install, it will not be lost, otherwise if you keep the default when installing the software, it will be lost.
If you are using Windows 10 operating system, you can use the Reset Windows feature, you can still keep the software that you have installed on your computer.
6 / Will reinstall Windows remove Viruses?
Answer: Only clean viruses on the Win install partition!
Exactly like that, after installing win, the virus will be wiped clean on the partition where you installed Win, and the other partitions, if already infected with the virus before, are still available.
And the virus will be activated at any time if you click on an infected file. Therefore, the solution for you at this time is to install Kaspersky antivirus software or any other reputable anti-virus software to scan and remove all viruses on your computer. For dangerous viruses, free anti-virus software can often prove powerless!
7 / Does reinstalling Win harm the hard drive or other components?
Answer: Have an impact on the hard drive, but not much!
As I have explained very clearly in the article “ghosts often install Win” already. In essence, installing Win is deleting, overwriting… but of course, after each erase / write, the hard drive will be worn out.
The rest of the other hardware on the computer has nothing to do with it!
8 / How long does it take to reinstall Win?
Answer: In about 20-40 minutes!
The time to finish installing Win is 20-40 minutes for those who are proficient. However, if you are a Newber, new to computer and also the first time to install Win, the time may be much longer. Because there are a few more groping steps to begin the installation.
For example:
You do not have the installation disc or you have not downloaded the Windows installer to your computer? => It takes 10 minutes to download (Original Win installer link here!)
+ You do not know how to create Win install USB? – See here! => Takes 10 more minutes!
+ You do not know how to enter BOOT MENU to be able to boot into USB to install Win? => See here! => Takes 10 more minutes!
+ Do you know the end of Windows installation? => See instructions! => Takes 10 more minutes!
+ Do you know what to do after installing Win? => See instructions => It takes 30 more minutes to do!
That => nim is take that much time for 1 Newber: 70 minutes! or may be more in the learning process and if there is an error during Windows installation.
In the beginning, when I first learned about computer rescue, it took me many days to learn and create tools to install Win. Because there were very few rescue boot tools back then and there weren’t as many detailed instructions as to now ?
9 / How many GB should the partition install Win?
Answer: 60 – 100 GB!
This question I also received quite a lot, in my opinion, you should leave about 60 – 100 GB is beautiful.
Depending on the amount of software you will install on your computer. As long as the C drive is always available (the operating system drive is about 40% free). You should not use Full C drive, which will reduce Windows’ performance quite a lot.
10 / Some questions related to errors while installing Win
The problem of errors related to installing Win is a lot, and I also have a general article about this problem. By the way, I also link to some articles for you to refer to, so that if unfortunately you encounter some similar errors there is also a solution to immediately resolve.
