1. Will my Steam updates be removed?
2. May I reinstall Windows 7 using the OEM disc again?
3. Based on the guidelines...Insert the disc, restart, and should the system boot correctly? What if not? Would it function normally?
4. If the computer fails to start from the drive, what steps can I take to fix it using the provided link?
5. Are backups of programs like Fraps or Sony Vegas Pro safe when reinstalling on a new Windows version?

Steam connects to the cloud. Yes. If it doesn’t start on the hard drive, check the BIOS settings first. 5. Restart the installation.

1.I have Reinstalled Windows 7 like 4 times on my computer. And yes it will delete everything if you dont back it up. If you have saved data in the cloud it will be good. Some games will some game wont. 2.You have to use the Windows 7 disc for reinstallation. 3/4.No you have to open up the bios menu and make sure it will start from the disc and not the hard drive look at your motherboard manual. 5. It should not harm your computer unless there is a virus on them. never really back up any programs so i would not really know.

Reinstalling Windows 7 might affect your saved progress in Dota, Fallout 3, New Vegas, Ark, The Forest, and Unturned. Make sure backups are up to date before changing the OS.
