Windows Central Question
Nokia 521 Windows 8.1 very very laggy, and getting worse.
I backed up all my photos to One Drive, kept all my games and some apps on sd card. Tried to download the Windows Phone recovery tool, both times got different error messages. Reading in between tries that other people were experiencing the same thing. So, I said screw it, and just went for the hard reset. I read that whatever you had on your sd card would stay there, you just put it back in after the clean install. SO, I did exactly that. Then I went back to finish my settings. Store new photos, apps n games, music on either phone or sd card. When I tapped on sd card for new games/apps, it said that I couldn't because there was stuff already on it and I would have to erase everything on the card first??? The card isn't even half full. HOLD ON IT GETS BETTER!! So then I thought I would set that stuff to the side and cool off a bit. I then went to retrieve my back up from Microsoft, THERE WAS NOTHING!!! Luckily, I wrote down all my contacts, and the names of all my games and apps I have, ya know, just in case something happens. Did I miss a step somewhere? Thanks all!
