It looks like you've mentioned finding a link related to avoiding a clean install for Windows. Although I can't access the contents of the link you provided, I can offer some general advice on how to deal with Windows issues without resorting to a clean install. If you're facing Windows problems and wish to avoid a clean install, here are some steps you can take: 1. Use System Restore: If your system has been stable in the past, you can revert to an earlier point using System Restore. This can help fix issues without losing your data. 2. Run System File Checker (SFC): This tool scans and repairs corrupted system files. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the command sfc /scannow. 3. Check Disk (CHKDSK): Running a disk check can help fix disk-related errors. Use Command Prompt with administrative privileges and enter chkdsk /f to scan and fix any disk issues. 4. Update Drivers: Outdated drivers can cause system instability. Update your drivers through the Device Manager or the manufacturer's website. 5. Use Safe Mode: Booting into Safe Mode can help troubleshoot issues caused by third-party software or drivers. Restart your PC and repeatedly press F8 to access the Advanced Boot Options menu. These are some common methods to troubleshoot Windows issues without performing a clean install. It's important to back up your important data before attempting any major changes to your system. If you encounter specific problems or need further assistance, feel free to provide more details.
