How Often Should I Reformat My PC?

I usually reformat my PC once a year, but that's a habit from the old days when it was recommended. It's not harmful to SSDs unless you're doing a secure erase, but nowadays, it's often not necessary unless you're dealing with specific issues. If everything's running smoothly, there's no need to rush into a reformat!

Honestly, you can reformat whenever you want; it won’t hurt your hardware! Just make sure you have everything backed up.

If you're considering reformatting, it's a good idea to wait a few months after the latest Windows 10 feature update. This way, any initial reported issues can be resolved, and you can reformat with the latest version without the bugs.

Just a heads up, frequent reformatting can be tough on SSDs because it can wear them out faster. So, think twice before doing it too often!
