Hi Pretty sad that a simple question on here gets people bashing. Come on! Why should your basic computer user, who only wants things to work, have to enter a million commands, troubleshoot, figure things out if it doesn’t interest them in the slightest? It’s not their job nor should it be. It’s like telling an auto mechanic to work on a computer when he’s used to being under the hood of a car. Or telling a clothes designer to start designing tires for big semi’s because hey, you need to know how this works since I do and because you take the easy route, that makes you a bad person. If that isn’t the intent of your message I apologize, but certainly seems so. Yes, I do agree, reformatting should be your last option but windows 10 makes it so beyond ridiculously easy to both back up and restore your pc from said backup As far as dos goes – it’s the same thing. I haven’t heard it mentioned in years by anyone mainstream – so how can you expect anyone in the last even 10 years to know about it? Come on, again. Most of the things I google about for dos come up with complex pages that assume, similar to Linux, that you have a basic understanding of said operating system and it’s commands. Really disheartening that a thread brought up with such a simple question gets diverted like this.

People who can not fix anything when it breaks. I had someone I was working with. I ask her, what do you do if it breaks. Her answer, incert the recovery disk, tell it to run then it just works. Ok, I say then what do you do with it, load everything up was her reply. There are 2 problems. 1. bloated units on default config are just that default, who wants that. 2. While people think reformatting is the last resort, running reformat certainly is the last resort. But the recovery cd takes it away, it makes it work people don't seem to care how anymore. We are losing our ability to fix stuff.
