The bios doesn't show me anything regarding that aspect.
sadly no, nothing is backed up. It's not that bad since it didn't contain very important informations except some saves for games... if i could extract them it would be great. If not i will follow your instructions for formating my drive.
i have a more specific question. Should i format the drive and reinstall windows on it or install windows on the 2tb gen 4 ssd i bought this week in case i have to throw my current ssd away ? (planning on upgrading my pc this year)
