Will Windows reinstall wipe hard disk and reinstall drivers?

by

I have an ASUS ZenBook UX306U that I have completely messed up. I have about three operating systems installed, and lots of corrupted apps and files. I want to reset my computer with a clean installation of Windows, so I made a backup of the few files I want to keep. Then I went to Settings to where it says this:

Reset this PC Image.

I clicked on the button and got this:

Choose an option Image.

I think the option for me is Remove everything, but here is my real question:

  1. Will clicking that button erase the entire hard drive? (I want it to)
  2. When it reinstalls Windows, will it come installed with all the apps and drivers that came with my computer (i.e. AudioWizard)? (I want that, too)

Answer

If it does not clean up the partitions you can use disk manager or diskpart to clear the other partitions out and extend them.

  1. Click start and type in diskmgmt.msc right click on the result and choose Run As Administrator.
  2. Next delete the partitions that belong to Linux. These are generally blank for Volume and File system.
  3. Next right click on your C: volume and you can extend it.

As long as Asus setup their recovery partition like everyone else yes it would reinstall their software and drivers.
