Flatten your system? What type of hammer do you recommend?

I would suggest the following:

1) Backup your data
2) Install Windows and use the option to wipe clean the partition and
create a new one.
3) Load Motherboard drivers if any
4) Install anti-virus software
5) Reinstall Apps.
6) reload Data.

What ever you do - DO NOT flatten your system. It will break.

Yeah - but it would be a lot easier to simply install Linux and have done
with it!

It only seems that way because Windows is used more often than any other OS.

The more time you spend on an OS, the more problems you will find.

That you would think Linux has fewer problems than Windows, only shows you
haven't spent much time using it.

So your idea is to throw away all the Windows based programs that he already
has and install an INFERIOR OS? You should lay off the drugs.

I didn't say that now, did I? You've heard the quote "methinks he
protesteth too much".
