Nice video.

[@Mike49if]

Excellent video, thanks! I'm wondering what is the difference between the Dell Direct Key creator utility which creates a boot usb and the OS Recovery Tool which also creates a boot usb? Anyone know? Thanks again.

[@roxannapinotti5634]

Thanks for the demo! Question: my Dell XPS stays stuck on the "confirm your reset screen on timestamp 7:31. Would you happen to know how I can get past this? Thanks!!

[@Ami.r]

Hi. Thank you for your great video. I have a question. I have a Dell laptop and it's Linux mint installed on it. Can you please tell me how to remove the Linux and install windows 10 on it? Kind Regards

[@sandipkrgupta]

For a Dell computer, which is the right option - Creating a Windows 11 Recovery USB using the native Win 11 recovery drive or using Dell OS Recovery Tool to create a recovery USB?

[@praveerjha5397]

Hi does this process delete files from other drives as well??

[@lizzdevn]

Hello! During the reset, do we have to plug in the usb drive? I mean, can we do all the progress without using an usb drive or not?

[@MrCosmos110]

For somebody that already knows it by heart, those are great instructions. Why did you bother?

[@AP9106-APP]

Will it delete the data of another drives also or just of the os drive?

[@navneetsharma6581]

[@falhahmehmood6502]

[@basavarajchougala3384]

Dear Sir, Thank you for your knowledgeable video. My Question is... If I do this process.... have all the installed softwares like MS office, VLC Player, Winrar, Adobe Reader Extra extra gone Except Windows 10? I kindly request you to help me on this issue as early as possible... Because My Dell Laptop gets Very Slow while booting, opening of application, Shutting the laptop down Extra Extra? It would be great helpful for me....... Kind regards, Basavaraj, From India.

[@SaurabhKumar-ee6dj]

YES EVERY THING FROM THAT DRIVE WITCH YOU WILL SELECT TO INSTALL DELL WINDOWS 10

[@mithstechchannel4273]

Hi Basavaraj, Thanks for your kind words. I'm extremely sorry for responding so late; I was not signed into this account for the past few months as I recently started university this September. Yes, this process should remove all those applications; doing the Dell OS Recovery should bring the laptop back to state it was in when Dell sold it (so in theory, it should have Windows 10, the default preinstalled Windows 10 apps, and any software that Dell has preinstalled on their retail computers/pcs) Sorry again, Mith

The one time boot menu is not opening it appears in the top right of screen but never opens

[@Doubird28]

I did exactly what you did, the problem is that it installed windows in Chinese! I am not chinese but with a lot of hard work i finally changed the display language to english but some tabs like in regedit are still chinese. Why did the os recovery tool install in chinese?

[@fajaryogatama1556]

why it need 16 GB usb when only less than 1 GB used?

[@Lilswarv-ki8wm]

I’m on the reset page and I am connected to wireless Internet and when I tried to click on reset it says not available for this Computer do you know how to fix

[@mithstechchannel4273]

I'm sorry, I am not completely sure what could have caused this error. I would recommend reaching out to Dell technical support, they are usually pretty helpful: www.dell.com/support/incidents-online/en-us/ContactUs/Dynamic?spestate?ref=contactus

[@professorg9675]

I get "we are unable to detect any disks tbat can be utilized for a cloud restore" message 😢

[@indhuchinnu2264]

What if we dont back up the laptop

[@ilikepratas6953]

How long does it take to load into the support assist recovery os?

[@mithstechchannel4273]

I believe the length of the reset depends on how much of the hard drive is currently occupied (the more it is, likely, the longer it will take). I think it might take at least a few hours, if I remember correctly.

[@ilikepratas6953]

@@mithstechchannel4273 thanks i have been waiting for it so longg.

[@milanmondal7851]

Hello there! Does it deletes the other volumes of the hard drive?

[@mithstechchannel4273]

I believe if the hard drive is partitioned into different volumes (e.g D:, E: etc.), it will only delete the data from the selection partition.

[@milanmondal7851]

@@mithstechchannel4273 Did it successfully! However the Dell Recovery tool fixed my boot! Nothing had to be done! Thanks for the info!

[@ilikepratas6953]

Sir why am i stuck on the support assist os recovery loading screen.

[@mithstechchannel4273]

Sorry, I'm not completely sure what would cause the pc to get stuck on that screen, I would recommend reaching out to Dell Technical Support as they would likely know the answer (www.dell.com/support/incidents-online/en-us/ContactUs/Dynamic?spestate?ref=contactus).

[@imran1111000]

Dell Inbuilt Applications will be also deleted ??

[@mithstechchannel4273]

I believe most of them should be reinstalled (as I think this reset is supposed to bring the laptop back to the state it was in after Dell set it up initially), but I think I may have lost some of the apps like the Dell Cinema app.

[@janmichael155]

Sir after resetting my laptop, it keeps restarting over and over again. What should i do ? please help

[@liviafernandes3640]
