Sorry if this is a dumb question, I keep getting mixed answers whenever I search for the answer so I just want to be sure.
I accidently turned something on in windows and now one of the games I play gets a lot less frames than usual so I want to reinstall. I dont mind losing my personal files, but I want to know if reinstalling completely resets all of my windows settings, nvidia geforce settings, etc.
Any overall advice or details on what reinstalling does exactly would be greatly apprechiated.
Get a external hard drive and copy your personal files over.
Everything is in C:\Users\your username
