Now sauntering to the ring, please welcome the lackadaisical style of the man who is always doing something...

My computer is getting slower and clunkier and my hard drive is becoming increasingly bloated with sick porn applications and old, useless stuff and I'm thinking about giving it a good wipe. That said, I'm always reluctant to do so because it seems like there's always an application or twelve that I inevitably miss and have the worst time tracking down in the aftermath, or there's some obscure driver or another that I don't know I need until I don't have it anymore. I've already backed up all my depraved porn pictures, documents and nightmarish, unconscionable DVDA clown porn miscellaneous videos to a cloud service, but, as this is my first time doing a full wipe on Win10, I'm wondering if there is anything out there to facilitate the process/smooth the transition back to normalcy.

Get a SSD, do a reinstall.

Good as new. :)

Silly goose, you're here forever.

Make a list of all the applications you want and then write a batch file that uses Chocolatey to install them.

Or just skip having to write anything and select the programs you want and have it done for you from one simple executable: https://ww.ninite.com

Ninite has a piss poor selection, I abandoned it for chocolatey specifically because of how many applications aren’t available.

Plus, if you can't remember an app within the time it takes to complete the install, then you didn't really need it anyway.

Stop filling up your computer with useless poo poo you didn't use.
