Farchord Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I used to format every other week, just because I felt like it.... But since I use my computer for work mostly, and use alot of very heavy programs (Visual Studio for example), I do not anymore. Maybe twice a year, tops.

Kami- Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 well to get windows 7 reinstalled, then run windows update about 5 times to get all the updates installed and then get all your programs installed again and get them set back up how you like .... 4 hours sounds about right depending on the number of programs Wipe Drive -> Dump Image -> Job Done... 18minutes 32seconds :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Warwagon MVC Posted June 29, 2012 MVC Share Posted June 29, 2012 Wipe Drive -> Dump Image -> Job Done... 18minutes 32seconds :) Assuming the Image wasn't created yesterday, you will still have Windows updates, and 3rd party updates to do like Adobe Acrobat and flash.
