    Can someone tell me how do I reinstall windows from a partition. I don't have a manual at the moment. Also, can I reinstall it without the junkware?

    The windows restoration defaults to the C drive/partition and leaves the D drive/partition alone. However, you must do a manual uninstall to eliminate all of the SONY bloatware. The installation process shouldn't take more than 90 minutes at most because I recently performed the operation on my Sony PCG GRX570.
