Is there a way to replace the windows installation on the SSD with a fresh one without erasing any of the data on it? Or would I have to move the data to something else

[โ€“] GlitchyDigiBun 2 points 1 year ago

Not short of backing up the data on another drive. Unless you want to futz with the most core basic drivers that windows will require in order to fully boot. If you don't know how/want to push drivers via CLI, throwing your porn onto an external and then installing windows on the hardware itself works a jiffy.
