My computer will lag out when I plug it in. (Don't know if it's the right section)

if its like the windows 10 reset, it wipes all windows settings and installed programs - which are the two possible causes for this problem in software.

No, that's not what they mean.

A format wipes the entire computer, and forces you to reinstall Windows manually. What they are saying is that you functionally reset your installation. Check here for instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-pc


What you're looking for is a refresh. Read through that subsection of the link, and start there. If the issue persists, try the remove everything and reinstall windows option. As there's likely a recovery partition, you needn't bother with installation media (what you were asking about earlier).
