    How hard will it be to readd all my stuff? I've never formatted a laptop before...

    Well it would seem you are about to find out...haha.

    Seriously though, you'll need to reinstall the drivers as well as any applications and then restoring your data (files, music, videos, etc)

    Make sure you plan for it...

    The odds are there is always going to be that one file you'll say "****! How did I forget to transfer that!?" so make sure you have a backup somewhere.
