I tried this but it just says "there was a problem resetting your pc" (I'm on a laptop).

[@Goosetavula]

Thank you. Subscribed and liked. Helped so much.

Very helpful video and narrative!

[@derekfaeberwick]

No blue screen appeared.

[@Dominic-st4gb]

These type videos seem really simple until you try them out yourself! Got to the Troubleshoot screen no problem but after you hit Remove Everything it asks for a 48 digit security key

[@ZzjJdxj]

What if it does not go to the screen to factory reset it
