I’m looking to reset my PC clean for the first time, but I’m a bit lost on what steps to take afterward. I’ve heard I might need to create new user accounts or do something with my SSD, like partitioning it into two separate sections for the OS and other files like games. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated!
1 Answer
Definitely consider splitting your SSD! It helps keep your OS and files organized. Just remember to back up all your important files before you start. After resetting, install your drivers and applications so everything runs smoothly. Windows usually takes care of the drivers for you with updates, but it’s a good idea to check Device Manager for any issues.
