It doesn't require a reformat, no. It depends on what drives you have. It works best to have one drive dedicated to Linux though. In that case you install Linux on a seperate drive and point the Steam library to the existing Windows Steam library. Then you can use all the same game installations on both Windows and Linux and boot back into Windows if you want to.
