how to format Windows 8.1 pc
steps
1-Back up your data. Since formatting your PC will erase all of your files and settings, you’ll probably want to do a backup first. Check out How to Back Up a Windows Computer to learn how to quickly back up your PC before you proceed.
2-Hold the mouse cursor at the bottom-right corner of the screen. This opens the Charms menu.
3-Click Settings. It’s the gear icon on the Charms menu.
4-Click Change PC Settings. It’s at the bottom of the menu.
5-Click the Update and recovery tab. It’s near the bottom of the left panel.
6-Click Recovery. It’s in the right panel.
7-Click Get started under /”Remove everything and reinstall Windows./” It’s in the middle of the right panel. Make sure you don’t accidentally click /”Get started/” under a different option, as there are several.
8-Click Next. This confirms that you want to delete all of your files, apps, and settings from this PC.
9-Select which drive(s) you want to format. If you only want to format the drive on which Windows 8 is installed, select Only the drive where Windows is installed. To format all drives on the computer, select All drives.
10-Click Fully clean the drive. This option (the second one) ensures that the drive is completely formatted.
11-Click Reset to format your PC. Depending on the size and speed of your hard drive, this part can take a while (anywhere from several minutes to several hours).
