I f*cking hate windows(love/ hate abusive relationship for sure). All my installs fail or get corrupted. No matter how careful i am.
I keep nothing on the C: drive. All my data on separate drives. I backup my windows drive monthly in fear that my PC might decide to brick itself after a bad update or faulty shutdown.
As I type this,my desktop no longer booting and its been “attempting to repair windows” for 3hrs now. Good thing i made a backup on a separate drive 2 months ago, lol.
Anyone else here instinctively take measures to hedge against windows unreliability??
Never had an install fail. Well. I suppose it has out of the box, but I notice any issues before I commit to the install. If it’s acting up, reformat before your data ever shows up on the OS drive.
Personally keep all my data off C drive as well, but that’s because it’s an NVME SSD that’s purpose is strictly OS and gaming.
