I'd like to watercool it sometime with a custom loop. It'll be damn tight in this case but maybe it can be done.

= OS reinstall March 2022 =

Some notes on doing this. I've been seeing too many BSODs to be healthy, and the underlying cause is either kernel or Ntfs.sys with a roughly even split. I'd like to try out Win11 anyway, and a clean install would be best for that.

I've just bought a new PCIe 4.0 SSD to use, and an external USB M.2 enclosure so I can grab data from the old drive later if needed.

== Uninstall everything ==

Remove as many apps as possible to ensure there's less to worry about later.

Manually save stuff that's not in a default location, mostly in `%appdata%/../Local/`

=== Games and launcher ===
 * COD: !BattleNet
 * Cyberpunk: GOG
 * Obduction: Epic Games Launcher

=== Apps to reinstall later ===
 * Signal
 * Zenkit To-Do
 * Putty
 * Hashcheck Shell Extension
 * CDisplay
 * WinRAR
 * Chrome
 * Adobe Creative Cloud (eugh)
