I have reset Windows, which has removed all programs that were installed after we got this computer. But, I am able to log in and function, under my Windows user account, once again.
The reality is that I don't know what all that I've lost, program-wise. I suspect that this will be quite the adventure, as I go to do various things, and discover that whatever software was necessary to accomplish that task, I no longer have that particular piece of software.
A lot of what I use tends to be open source of freeware programs, so any of those can just be re-downloaded, again. The computer, itself, is noticeably faster, so I do have that going for me.
