I have an old XP Desktop that I want to make quicker and for use as solely an Internet browser (not the point of the question).
The question is, can I run the recovery drive (or however you start recovery) and end with a completely erased hard drive but still have the OS and any other vital components remain?

Everything will become factory-fresh. You’ll have to do all the windows updates all over again and reinstall all your software.

Can I use the Recovery Drive to completely wipe out my Hard Drive resulting in a “new” computer?
