How would you be able to reinstall Windows from what I assume would be an .iso file? Does DaemonTools/ a similar program have a feature that would allow for that?

I'm also considering wiping my hard drive, as the Blue Screen of Death now strikes my laptop seemingly at random on start-up, and it is very, very annoying. Cursed machine.....

Do you mean operating system? I doubt many would shit bricks just because their computer is now using ext4 rather than NTFS...

nah, I meant filesystem. Drives vs folders-only but I guess you're right, the biggest problem would be of trying to run an exe file lol
