HOW TO FORMAT WINDOWS 7

'WINDOWS 7 FORMATTING & INSTALLITION'

Before Getting Started

1. Once you format a drive, or reset Windows and remove all of your data, make sure that all of your important files are backed up onto another drive. If everything is on the cloud, like  Microsoft One Drive, these files will be fine. But anything on your hard drive should be copied to an external drive. After you have finished copying your Documents, Desktop and other folders, disconnect that drive from the PC so you won't have to worry about accidentally formatting it.

2. Windows 7 is far better than previous windows versions (win XP and win          Vista). 3. The install process is plain simple and easy to follow
