[@pixie_hq]

My pc is lagging so much so i will have to give up all my files and delete them all ☹️ Ill miss all my minecraft and roblox screenshots

[@Redice.]

You might be able to send those files to another computer or smthn like that

[@fatiharahloune2001]

U can keep the files

[@fatiharahloune2001]

Just choose the option to keep my files

[@pixie_hq]

@Master_guy u r late lol, dw tho, the screenshots sucked anyway lmao

[@sto._davo]

Just put it on a flash drive

[@Asianjeffteevee]

Thank u so much, I changed my admin settings and it drove my pc crazy! I could access my tool bar, start menu or anything so this really helped 😅

To reset my pc it says that i have to "Enter the Recovery Key to get going again" You didn't mention or go over that one.

I've been stabbing at the dark for hours on my PC. For 3 months now Microsoft just stopped working on the sign-in screen. My niece set it up when I purchased it 7 years ago and the darn thing will not override the admin settings to to anything.

You find something

[@neji.110]

I really didn't know how to formate my pc because of settings issue.This video really helped me thank u

[@sour5374]

2:34 he said “Destroyed the drive” This is not true it will do a deep clean and the file you have on the drive will be hard to recover it does not destroy your drive

[@V1c1nty]

What’s the difference between the teo

[@USComputerSolutions]

I said completely destroy files (personal files, documents, pictures etc) not the drive. hope that helps.

[@V1c1nty]

@@USComputerSolutions so if I just want the pc brand new again with no lag which one do I choose? I really don’t care about the files I have

[@USComputerSolutions]

Just use the first option its faster.

I have a 2016 laptop and trying to do a reset, this tutorial def helps a ton. Thanks!

I had an admin account from a school i was in, the damn account blocked so much stuff and was annoying asf, this helped me get rid of it, about files and other stuff, they werent really to important but i did save some of it in a usb

[@TheSoccerScientist_]

mine asks me if I want to cloud download or local reinstall windows?? what do I choose?

[@javiererazo1587]

Idk I’m having that problem too

[@ThisGuyDannyyy]

Any option is fine. Cloud download takes more storage and it will take hours to proceed the process, or you can choose local reinstall windows, where it will only take a minute or two for the process. You can choose any option, and the data will still be completely removed

[@NavaNoidGMD]

what does local reinst all windows mean? Do you need like something for it to work? @@ThisGuyDannyyy

i doesn’t say reset pc in troubleshoot, it said “startup settings” and “uefi firmware settings”

Bro can't plz tell me if something happens to my PC if I fully clean my drive

[@Kohjihero]

If you factory reset ur pc it returns to the default settings in drive c and removes your present apps, the drive d will remain the same. There is also an option if you want to keep your files or not.

[@Vivannecarter]

When I’m at the trouble shoot option it doesn’t give me the options to keep files or remove everything. What else can I ?

[@Tpyt42]

Thanks so much very very helpful I was totally ok with do a full wipe down and reset and now my pc is Bck in biz again thank you!

[@lgtexas2013]

[@MatthewTentchikov-sm1jw]

Same here, did you find a solution?

[@samuelamoo-quaye8691]

From selecting the troubleshoot, it leads me to advanced options 1. Startup settings (change windows startup behaviour. 2. UEFI firmware Settings (change settings in your PC's UEFI firmware. Where should I go?

Remove everything

When I click “troubleshoot” I am not given a “reset” option.. I’ve watched several videos to see if anyone has different instructions because when I use setting and click “get started” it says “couldn’t find the recovery environment - insert your Windows installation or recovery media” I don’t know how to fix that or why it won’t allow me to reset it. Any ideas of how to fix this issue?

The windows key is linked to your motherboard. So you can reset windows as many times as you want

What if I put fully clean the drive cause I want everything removed I ever did but I still want to play games on my pc

[@Spookie_Moonie]

I asked bing about it and it's not a problem to clean the drive, u can still actually use it, cleaning the drive means that it'll be harder for u to recover the lost files and data and that's it, u can still use it and it'll reinstall the windows

[@ugotthejuicenowman]

Should I choose “fully clean the drive” if I’m planning on returning it or selling it?

[@cappablecannon1824]

If you are planning to sell it you may want to keep drivers and operating system for ease of use for the customer

[@Spookie_Moonie]

Not cleaning the drive and deleting files r the same thing, the difference between the two is that cleaning the drive will make it harder to recover lost data, ik am super late, but if ur planing to resell it or return it, u should clean the drive if u don't want anyone to recover lost data

My PC was infected with a virus or spyware that caused my PC performance and stability issues? It will help me to restore to factory settings or immediately reformat the entire HDD and then install Windows 10 from a DVD, what will solve this problem 100% ???

[@USComputerSolutions]

The process in the video should do all of that for you without the need of a dvd (if your system installation file is not infected) everything should go smooth and you can choose the option that says delete all my files and data, this should wipe ur old stuff including the virus.

[@inanyarblx6179]

Me too I think there’s a virus on my computer but it keeps failing.

[@USComputerSolutions]

In some cases since this issue needs further investigation or diagnosis the reasons that this happen maybe from a bad hard drive, or the internal windows setup file located in your hard drive could be corrupted due to a virus or failed update file causing an issue. The only other way to do this is by installing windows setup on a flash drive and go from there, regarding a bad hard drive you will need a new hard drive. Hope this helps.
