It needs to be reformated at least once per year.
Otherwise you will need to update your hardware. Windows is made to motivate hardware sales. |

I remember MS finally came out last year and recommended that you reformat once every year.
Still, I don't usually do it that often... maybe once every 2-3.

never, but then again I only use legal software. My comp has been in its untouched state for 4 year - no reinstall, no blue screen ever. Runs like a charm.
