Re: reinstalling fedora 35

thank you

so I have to :
  • create (using gparted) only one big partition (1 TBit) on the HDD
  • indicate to the process that install fedora  the HDD (the partition) where to install the S.O.
  • all the rest is done automatically by the installer

that is correct ???

If you are starting from scratch, you don't need to preserve anything.
A clean install will create a new EFI partition if there isn't one
already.  You only need to keep the old one if there is another OS on
the computer that is also using it.
