How To Rebuild Your Computer and Reinstall Windows from Scratch
Your computer is slow and not doing what you want it to do. It’s driving you insane, and you just want to throw the computer out the window. Every time you get pop-ups, viruses, and more stuff on your computer which is not supposed to be there. Now you can make the difference by fresh installing your computer from scratch in 5 steps.
First of all, you need to be sure that you have a Windows CD. Without this, we can’t really do anything. If you do not have a Windows CD, you can get one at any computer shop near you. This is not cheap, so double check your cabinets before buying. After that, look at both sides of your computer case; there should be a Windows sticker with a serial number. This number is your personal ID to register your Windows version with Microsoft. They do this to confirm you paid for your Windows operation system. Now double check if you have a CD/DVD reader or writer. If you don’t know how to check this, look at the front of your CD/DVD reader or writer, and it will show you what it is. As soon as you have all the information and hardware together, we may start.
These are the steps to rebuild and reinstall your computer. First, make sure you have made the proper backups you need of your personal documents, such as word documents, pictures, and your music. Secondly, put your Windows CD in the CD/DVD reader and restart your computer. The computer will ask if you want to boot the CD. Press the space bar to boot the Windows CD. Don’t be scared now; it may look difficult to go through this menu, but it is not that hard. What we are going to do next is formatting the C: drive. This will sweep everything off your hard drive and prepare your computer for a fresh install of Windows. When that is done, you have to select the C: drive and press enter to start the Windows wizard, which will do a fresh install of your Windows system. Next, follow the steps of the Windows wizard. The wizard will help you through the process of installing Windows the way you like it. This process will take about an hour to finish. As soon as the installation is complete, you will see the speed difference already. Immediately, the computer will restart itself after the installation. When Windows is fully started, all you have to do next is install all the hardware drivers. These can be found at the website of the computer company you bought it from. For example, if you have a Sony computer, you may visit Sony.com for the drivers needed. They provide these drivers for free.
Finally, you can enjoy your fast and fresh installed personal computer. You now have no more frustrations, but for how long all depends on how you treat your computer.
