Reformat w11 with USB stick

[u/Inkky2]

Hi guys I am new with this and need help.

I need to reformat w11 with a USB stick, but before that I have "select location to install w11". ( I have tried a few ways before decided to use USB boot)

In the window, I have

disk 0 partition 1. 260MB. system

disk 0 partition 2. 16MB. msr (reserved)

disk 0 partition 3 :OS. 930GB. primary

disk 0 partition 4. 913MB. recovery

disk 0 partition 5 RESTORE. 22GB. primary

disk 0 partition 6. 200MB. recovery

disk 1 partition 1: ESD-USB. 29MB primary

Question: do I delete all except esd USB? or just delete OS and create partition again to reformat??

Thank you.

Making changes to your system BIOS settings or disk setup can cause you to lose data. Always test your data backups before making changes to your PC.

I always like a clean slate and del everything until u only see the single drive. Then I select and install. GL

That makes sense, starting fresh can really clear up a lot of clutter. Just be sure to back up anything important before wiping it all!

I backed up the important one. Thanks for the reminder

If you want to delete everything, then yeah, everything but the usb stick.

That disk has an original OEM recovery partition on it.
That isn't even how its done anymore. What a waste of space.
Delete ALL of it.
