From the creation of the wheel to the advent of the internet age, technology has played a pivotal role in shaping human progress and enhancing our lives in numerous ways.

What to save before formatting?



If over time, we notice that the performance of our computer is really very slow or we have serious problems, and we have already exhausted all possible repair instances, it is likely that we will be forced to format the hard drive. At that moment, a question will surely arise: what do we really need to save, and can we let it be erased in the format?

If we have this problem, from this point on, let's find a list of the most important types of files and the correct way to save them so that these documents are not deleted during the formatting of the PC.

a) Office documents and other applications

 

Texts, spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, and other files have to be copied to another location, yes or yes, since the formatting will erase them. These are generally found in My Documents, but be sure to search the entire disk for these types of files so as not to forget a file that you have recorded elsewhere. Remember that Word extensions are .DOC or .DOCX and Excel extensions .XLS or .XLSX


b) Programs

The way to deal with installed programs is different. If you have the installation CDs, you do not need to worry because you will only need to install them again. If you have downloaded the program from the internet, you only need to save the setup, that is, the file that you downloaded from the internet. Another alternative is to download it again. Do not worry about the installed programs, but do so in case you have generated a file with this program.

For example, if you downloaded a program to draw simple plans and created one of your new kitchens, that file should be saved. Find it and put it to safety.

c) Videos and Photos

Record them on a different device so as not to confuse them with other types of documents.


d) Your browser's favorites

 

All browsers have the function of exporting favorites. These files must be recorded on an external device, such as an external pen drive, CD,   or HD. After the PC has been formatted, you will only need to import the favorites, and everything will be as before. Remember: if you don't save your favorites, when you install your browser, you will no longer have them.


e) Contacts and emails:

 

If you are the type of user who likes to save all received email messages, it is important to also make a backup of emails and contacts from your email program. In this sense, one of the mail management applications most used by Windows users is Outlook, whose backup procedure is very simple to implement by all types of users:
