Reformatting My Lumia Device

Hi Everyone,

I am reformatting my phone (Lumia 820). Now here's my Question: If all my apps and games are stored on my SDcard will I loose it? or does the formatting happen only on the internal memory of the device leaving the SDcard untouched?

and also when WP8.1 was announced they said that a memory card of the 1st device cannot be used in a 2nd device (due to some specific device ID code or something I'm not to sure) will this issue arise after reformatting my device ?

I really don't want to loose my apps and games (especially game progress)

Thankyou

If u reset your device, you wil lose the apps and games. However, u can get the progress back if you do a back up

But here's the rub - not all apps and games (especially games) backs up progress only a certain few.
