Thank you so much for this video. It is August 2022, and I still had my old computer with Windows 7. My daughter gave me a brand new Dell computer as a retirement gift, and I wanted to get rid of my old one. I backed up my files, pictures, etc, to my Dell, and after researching, I discovered that it wasn’t enough to just delete, because your personal information can still be stored in the background of your hard drive. With that being said, I’ve been trying to find a video to assist me with preparing my old computer for donation or to give it to someone. But, all the other videos were so complicated and long, and they were for Windows 10. I came across your video and it was the best, absolutely amazing, very simple, and it worked. I love it. Thanks again for posting this. Even though you put it out some years ago, it still works.

[@heyderceferov6587]

when i do this my win 7 will be gone or not ?

[@LeoAngle105]

Well, when I did this it got rid of most of my files on my computer and reset it completely. If you are going to do this I’d highly recommend you backup your files to a thumb drive or separate hard drive. But if you don’t want to save any of your files than I’d say go for it! But yeah I was able to completely revive my computer thanks to this video!

Great method, but only works if it is supported by your PC manufacturer. If it doesn’t, the option will be replaced with an option that tells you to reinstall Windows completely, which requires installation media.
