[@Serenity-MC]

To answer some questions 1. YES windows is legit going to be there no matter what without it There's no point on having a PC 2. If you choose the first option It will reset your apps And the files that come with it (legit whats the point on having a folder of a game you dont have pirated or not) And the settings yes all settings Everything that count like settings will be reset 3. If you choose the 2nd option remove everything it depends on what you have on your pc and it goes with option 1 For example I had Yandere sim Outlast Fifa 19 Etc With some other files Heres the strange thing tho For the first option some files got removed and some didnt Its strange but deleting them aint a pain since your pc is much quicker But if you choose to reset everything Youll start all the way to the day you first got the pc So theres nothing really to show And it takes 4 - 5 hours depending on what you have If you dont have much stuff then it would take probably 20 min to 1 hour Thats pretty much it Correct me if im wrong
