Rebooting a computer simply means restarting the computer which will leave all your files intact. Restoring a computer however, restores your computer back to how it was when it left the factory meaning all additional added data by yourself and others would be completely erased.
Generally, no. Some files may not have been saved to the disk, files that you were actually working on at the time for instance; but normally, any file that has been saved to the disk will not be affected by a reboot.
Because of missing operating system files
No, rebooting does not delete your files.
No, simply rebooting your computer (turning it off, then on again) does not erase all the data on the computer. However, you can lose unsaved data on files that you are currently working on if you don't save. Reformatting (reinstalling your operating system) will erase all the data on your computer and set it back to its default settings.
to look at files on your home computer on a public computer
Yes, you can
because the computer has no where to store it's files. The computer wont even start up without memory.
Data and files
No it will not. Rebooting or restarting a computer will not delete files unless you reboot it via a hard shut down by pulling the plug or holding the power button until the machine dies.
If any of the files you a re transferring have a virus then your computer can be harmed.
None. You use the free memory.
a big memory chip. which is expensive
It's just a way your computer "gathers itself up" after a huge memory loss. You probably have a program that takes alot of memory, and your computer is trying to find more to burn and waste. If you suddenly lose alot of memory, enough to NOT run programs, your computer will shut down, losing everything. That is why it tries to rebuild its memory so you don't haveta experience it's failure because you have a effin memory taking program. (no offence)
