Reinstalling Windows 7 - Delete vs Format
Hello. I'm new to the forum, so I apologize if this question has been brought up. I got my new computer about 3 weeks ago, but because the video card I picked was out of stock (GTX 680) they installed a standard video card (GT 520) instead. I'll be getting my GTX 680 tomorrow, and I'm thinking about doing a clean installation with Windows 7. I've already installed Windows 7 once when I received my computer, and made a few registry changes 'cause I have an SSD.
I guess my question is, I'm not quite sure if I should delete or format my SSD and HDD when doing a clean installation. Also, I own an Intel SSD and I read online that it's better to use the Intel Solid-State Drive Toolbox when resetting the drive to its original rather than deleting/formatting. Here's a link to the toolbox: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...&DwnldID=18455
Any help would be appreciated.
