How to Reset Windows 10 PC Without Disk

Guide to reset Windows 10

If your Windows 10 PC isn’t running the way it should, Or you’re getting strange errors or else you just want to return it to its default state, Windows 10 has your answer.

Windows 10 includes a “Reset your PC” option that quickly restores Windows to its factory default configuration. It’s faster and more convenient than reinstalling Windows from scratch or using your manufacturer’s recovery partition.

Windows 8 had separate “Refresh your PC” and “Reset your PC” options. Refresh kept all your files and personalization settings, but set your PC settings to the default and uninstalled your desktop apps. Reset removed everything, including your files–like doing a complete Windows reinstall from scratch.

On Windows 10, things are a bit simpler. The only option is “Reset your PC”, but during the process, you’ll get to choose whether to keep your personal files or not.

How Reset works:-

When you use the “Reset this PC” feature in Windows, Windows resets itself to its factory default state.

• If you purchased a PC and it came with Windows 10 installed, your PC will be in the same state you received it in.
