which partition to format ?

[jitensinha98]

i have a lenevo h330 series form factor desktop.Recently i have installed new graphics card , Ram and mobo so i need to do a fresh install of my os.But on recently reaching the formatting stage in the setup process, i found that there are three partitions on my pc and i am confused which one to format and install the new os in.My pc comes with something known as "one key recovery" which recovers my os when crashed or corrupted in ten minutes.Will doing one key recovery be same as formatting and reinstalling windows.Please help.

One key recovery is only valid if the motherboard has not been changed.

None of the existing partitions are any use now (except those which contain your data) so you can partition & format it to suit your personal preference, then install a fresh Windows on any of the new partitions which are large enough.

You'll then need to download the drivers for your desktop model from Lenovo's website.

Make sure all your data is backed up before deleting or reformatting any of the three existing partition!
