Interesting I am being ignored in posting to the tech support forum as was suggested...
If you are worried about your configs being wiped out you can back it up in the game at character selection screen .for 90 gb download you don't have to do it . You can try to save the whole folder in a external external hard disk .reset your windows with local install .it will install fresh copy of windows 10 and then before you start the ffxiv launcher you copy and paste the whole folder to same installation place that you gave when you first installed the game
And if you want to like avoid using windows 10 . Like I had enough problems with pc and windows 11 crap .then I bought ps5 and I am playing the ffxiv game with my wired keyboard and mouse connected to ps5 and I don't have to deal with any of the windows crap
