What are the different ways of reformatting your computer?

There are different ways to reformat the computer, mostly depending on the operating system and how thorough rewriting must be. Under most circumstances, regardless of the system, a start -up disk is necessary to reformat the computer. For Windows®, the user must press F12 when you start, while Mac OS® users can use the disk tool. It is generally recommended to assign a few hours to reformat your computer and reinstall the operating system.

The use of the original installation disk is the most typical way to reformat your computer with Windows®. The computer should be restarted after placing the disk in the unit. Pressing F12 prevents the computer from running normal and allows the user to tell the computer to start from the installation disk instead of a hard disk. After the disk is selected as a boot device, it starts the computer and allows the user to reformat.

The partition list is displayed to the user with a single -computer shoe from the Windows installation disk®. Most Windows® computers have one or two partitions; If the computer has two partitions, one is often much larger than the other. In this case, a small partition is usually a partition for recovery or backup. When reformatting, it is only necessary to focus on a large partition. The process is initiated to use the arrow and enter the keys after identifying the correct section to the reformat.

Computers running on Mac OS® can be reformatted by opening the disk tool, selecting a disk, and clicking "Clear". To reformat the starting disk, the computer must be started by the installation disk. As with Windows® computers, the data should be backed up before continuing. If the disk is not used for something special, the default reformatting settings will usually work best.

Sometimes there are two ways to reformat the Computer Runding Mac OS®: High and Low. A high -level reformatting is fast, usually less than a few minutesT and designed to solve problems. Deformatting low levels can take much longer, but also deletes all data to eventually rewrite the data as space becomes limited.

Reinstalling the operating system can take several hours. Install important updates and favorite applications also a considerable amount of time. If possible, it is best to allocate the whole day to ensure that the computer is re -functional if necessary.
