Format and reinstall the operating system

Página 17

Formatting and reinstalling the operating system is a daunting task for many computer users. However, it is an important practice to maintain system performance and security.

Before starting the formatting process, it's important to back up all your important files, such as documents, photos, and videos. This can be done on an external device such as an external hard drive or USB stick.

After making the backup, it's time to insert the operating system installation disk. If you don't have a disc, you can download the ISO file from the operating system manufacturer's website and burn it to a DVD or USB stick.

With the installation disk inserted, restart the computer and press the corresponding key to access the boot menu. This can vary by computer manufacturer, but is usually the F12 or F2 key. Select the correct boot device to start the installation.

On the installation screen, follow the instructions to format the hard drive. This will erase all data on the disk and prepare the computer to receive a fresh installation of the operating system.

After formatting the disk, follow the instructions to install the operating system. This may take some time, depending on your computer's speed and the size of the installation file.

After installing the operating system, it is important to install the computer drivers. Drivers are programs that allow the operating system to communicate with the computer's hardware, such as the video card, sound card, and network.

Finally, install an antivirus and update the operating system to ensure the security and proper functioning of the computer.
