Hello, here's my problem:
Lately, my PC shuts down by itself after only a few minutes of use. When I go to the task manager, the hard drive is at 100%, I believe the problem comes from that.
That's why I want to remove Windows (I can reinstall it in the BIOS), so that my PC works properly again.
Just in case, my GPU and CPU
- Msi GTX 750ti twin frozr
- AMD 4300 fx

Hello
Reinstalling Windows 10 (without formatting in order to recover personal data):
The idea is to create a Windows 10 installation USB drive and boot the computer from it to reinstall Windows without formatting in order to keep the data.
Since the computer is stuck, you need to create it from another functional computer.
To create the USB drive:
You need a USB drive with at least 8 GB.
Create a USB drive with Media Creation Tool
see here
Boot from it by changing the boot sequence and indicating the USB drive or DVD
How to boot the computer from USB drive
If the USB drive doesn’t work, try creating another one with Rufus
see here
restart Media Creation Tool and choose "ISO File"
Launch Rufus and then specify the path of the ISO file
In the partition scheme, choose GPT.
The Windows 10 installation program should then start:
Choose custom (not upgrade)
During the partition phase, select the main partition and click next.
The installer will tell you that Windows is already present and offer to move it.
Whatever you do, do not format.
Your user data will be copied to the Windows.old folder.
