Your files should always be on another partition than your system. I relocate user folders (documents, pictures, etc.) to a dedicated partition. It saves a lot of time when you have to reinstall.

Dunno about OP but if I reinstall windows, that's my nuclear version of cleaning files xD

Save what's critical, nuke the rest, start fresh. Habit from the old days but still works and feels good.

Ideally, separate physical drive.

I wouldn't trust windows install enough to do that lol

Same. I'd still back everything up.
