I believe theres an option to do it and keep your files and whatnot, but I'd backup your stuff either way. If you're refreshing it because of slowness or something related to that, it probably wont do much compared to a full reinstallation.

You have the option, but always create backups just in case. Plus, it would be ideal to fully format everything and perform a clean installation of Windows if possible.

I’m unable to perform backups because I can’t access Windows or log in.

Try restarting your computer or checking your internet connection. If the issue persists, ensure your system is updated and consider running a virus scan.

You may require an installation disc or USB drive to carry out a refresh.

Create a Linux installation media, like Ubuntu, write it onto a USB drive, and boot from it to safely store your data before performing a fresh OS setup.

If the installation files for updates are compromised, you should take action.
