I had been having small issues with my OS since i installed it, but it was mostly related to the way apps would function, and i never really worrried about it, but the problem has been getting worse.
Occasionally my computer would freeze up temporarily at times, and now it has started having problems with it when I try to boot it up where the second Windows begins loading, it would just turn off, i could usually get it on after a while.
I tried performing a refresh of the OS and I have the Media Disc from when I installed 8.1, but every time it would get towards the end, an error would occur, this leads me to believe my OS has been corrupted in someway from the start.
I have it on an SSD, but there other files that I would like to try to save such as a few game files, I have a big enough hard drive to store my entire SSD if needed, I would just like some advice since many of the guides online are saying that I need to re-install everything which would take a while (plus i don't want to lose a bunch of data).
I am going to be working around the house for a little here so if i don't reply to any questions at the moment I will a little later.
