Why are software installed before use?
Most software comes 'compacted' on the disk - it needs 'unpacking' before use. Additionally, when new programs are installed on the hard-drive - changes are made to the computer's registry - so the computer knows where on the disc the program is located, and connections are made to other programs (printer drivers for example). Installing simply sets the program up for use by Windows and other relevant programs. Simply copying the program to the hard-drive will not necessarily allow it to work correctly.

How long should you wait before reformatting a hard drive in an old computer?
It actually depends not in time, but rather on - how many installations of new programs, - how many uninstallations of installed programs, - how big and system intensive your installed programs are, - how bug-free your installed programs and installations attempts are, - how many virus infections have made it through your systems, - how many virus cleaning have been made by your antivirus program, - how successful the virus cleaning made by your antivirus program is, - how complete and thorough the updates of your installed programs are, and many more you can expand by yourself. The point is, if you feel your system is already too heavy and a lot more slower than it used to be, that is when it should be re-installed. A reformatting might not be necessary, instead, deletion of the OS's folder completely and a file system check and fix is a must.
