Grammar's fine. Sentence structure in the third paragraph (the largest one) is a bit clumsy I guess. Maybe there's a quibble about semantics in "you may also consider fully reformatting your operating system" - you reformat a drive and reinstall an OS. But grammar all seems fine IMO. I am a native speaker, I've certainly seen worse from my fellow countrymen.
Could be for the layman who does not understand the difference between OS and drive. Remember not everyone using steam actually knows how their pc works or even what is inside of it
I don't think you're really helping laymen by using off-kilter terminology. It's way more confusing if they go to find more information and stumble across other people using it properly.
I get where you are coming from. This will let 1 set of users know to call their tech friend and the 2nd set will be ready to learn a bit and will learn the adult words vs the eli5 one they started with
Thanks for pitching in! Okay so I don't need to be too insecure, whew
