When reinstalling your operating system or Microsoft Windows, you don’t perform the new installation over the existing installation. Though it is possible but it is very incorrect. When you want to reinstall your operating system, you should reformat your system drive or drive C.

When reformatting the partition of the system drive, you can do a quick format or a full format and you should always select the NTFS file system. The NTFS file system is not only the default file system for Windows NT-based operating systems like Windows XP and higher but it is also more secure than the FAT32 file system.

After installing a fresh copy of the operating system, you need to reinstall all the drivers for all the devices on your computer like the drivers for your video card, sound card, network card, motherboard chipset, printer, and others. Your computer should be running back to normal once all devices have been installed back with their respective drivers.
