It's about 5 years since I installed Windows 10 on my new-build PC and it's getting rather slow, so I should like to re-install W10. Someone told me that it was possible to re-install Windows without losing all the programs and having to re-install them. Can this possibly be true? Sure, if they are stored on a different partition I can retain the programs and then re-install them, but I was told that installed programs such as Spotify, VPN etc. will all be already present and working.
Could I ask a second rather silly question? I can't remember whether or not I set up an Admin P/W when I installed Windows. Is it really necessary to set one, it's only me who has access to the PC? When I am told that a certain action requires admin permission, I never see anywhere to enter the Admin P/W, even if I knew it ! What's the secret?
