Hi, I completed my tests on USB Qubes. Now I wonder, while installing Qubes, will it give an option "replace Windows with Qubes" as in the case of Ubuntu?
My other relevant (real) question is, I have to fully format my PC (format C:) (I want to get rid off someone I know who has been hacking me for 8 years!). Then I believe first I need to install Windows so that I can install the drivers, and then replace Windows with Qubes. Because installing all the drivers via Qubes seem to be troublesome.
Thank you

maybe we should encrypt this whole channel ^^no? But then we should discuss how to do it to have a universal protocol to do it.

Hi,

It's been awhile since i installed qubes, and i'm not sure how much
different the 4.0 installer is from 3.2, but if you choose to delete
your existing partitions during the install and replace them with the
qubes partition, then windows will be wiped out.

Also any drivers installed in windows won't be there when you install
qubes because the whole windows partition was deleted. But qubes comes
with the drivers that most people would need, and for things like
special printer drivers or other kinds of devices there are usually
drivers available for linux.
