  1. I'm reinstalling windows 11, can I keep my personal files?


    I have to reinstall windows because the startup repair tool could not repair anything. When I've opened up the menu to reinstall windows using my usb drive, it says that I have to agree that everything that I have will be deleted-- files, software, and settings.Is there a way I can keep my files? I don't want to lose them because I need them for work AND college.

    :)

  2. Windows 11 reinstall

    Hi there I'm using a dell inspiron 3501.

    I always experience BSODs in my windows 11 PC. So now I'm trying to reinstall windows 11. I have backed up all the important files as well...

    But at the moment I am confused whether should I reset my PC by removing all the files or clean install or a fresh start. Can you give me any suggestion and how the method actually works and the steps that I should follow to reinstall windows 11?

    Reinstalling Windows 10 to sell a PC - is the 'Remove everything' option enough?

    Restore factory settings do list Removes your personal files, apps and settings, and reinstalls the version of Windows that came on this PC.

    So if this isn't true well than just erase the drive and install a clean Windows 10 with all the drivers u need but why should it be true
