⚛️ Reformatting and reinstalling Windows 11
Reformatting and reinstalling Windows is a drastic measure used to fix problems or clean up by erasing everything on the hard disk and starting fresh. It starts with a backup; then you erase and reformat the hard disk, which you can do in Windows Setup; then you reinstall Windows, reinstall applications, and restore your data.
