As a computer Tech for over 20 years, I have found many benefits to formatting computers for my customers. Formatting a computer involves erasing everything from your computer and then re-installing your Operating System (Windows). Some of the benefits are;
- Spyware, Viruses and Trojans will be eliminated
- It is more cost effective for customers
- More Effective in eliminating software problems
- Eliminates software issues allowing for easy diagnosis of hardware issues
- A newly installed version of Windows will increase the overall speed and have a computer running like new
- Unwanted programs will be eliminated
- Hard Drive Space will be freed up
The most common reason for a computer repair is the removal of Spyware, Viruses and Trojans. A close second would be software related issues. Formatting a computer eliminates these issues while Removing Viruses or Spyware can be time consuming and the complete removal can never be guaranteed.
