When formatting, all saved photos, music, and video files are deleted.
You can back it up in advance, install the window, and copy it back in.
It depends on how the hard disk is separated from your computer.
If there's a window in C,
If photos, music, and video files are included on D or other hard disks other than C,
Even if you format C and install a window on C, it remains on D or other hard disks.
If it is included in C, you can transfer the necessary files to another storage medium, such as an external hard drive, format them, and reinstall the window.
