There are a few things to think about before you take this move. Before you factory reset any Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC, build an image-based backup and make sure you have the tools required to restore it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think about a backup program that produces recovery media, which is usually kept on a USB flash drive and can be used to build bootable media. You can boot to this media to return the computer to its pre-reset condition if the factory reset doesn&#8217;t work as intended.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_To_Do_A_Factory_Reset\"><\/span><strong>Why To Do A Factory Reset?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two conditions when a factory reset is typically required. The first possibility is when a computer is turned off and sold or given to a different user. The factory reset puts the PC in a new state ready for sale or handoff by wiping out all changes made after it left the factory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second situation is when a computer shows discernible issues with stability, performance, or behavior. In Windows 10 and Windows 11, there&#8217;s not much that an in-place upgrade repair install can&#8217;t remedy, but occasionally even that trick won&#8217;t get a computer back to normal. In that case, the next step toward Windows recovery could be a clean install or a factory reset.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, the PC can be returned to its original Windows condition by performing a factory reset.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Reset_Windows_10\"><\/span><b>How to Reset Windows 10<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To access the Settings window, click the Start Menu and choose the gear icon located in the lower-left corner.

To disable this setting, click the Change Settings\u00a0link and do the necessary. There is a further option to erase your files without erasing your apps and settings if you select Remove Everything.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Toggle the Data erasure option to ON by clicking the Change options link.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> After you&#8217;ve determined what needs to be deleted from the computer, click Next. Windows will then inform you of what will be erased before you confirm your selection. You can view a list of the apps that the reset will remove if you choose to Keep My Files.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To commit, click Reset at the end.

If not, log back into Windows and confirm that the computer has been cleared of the items you chose to delete. Your files can now be restored to the computer if you use a Recovery Drive or an internet backup service to back them up.<\/span><\/p>\n    \t<hr class=\"mt-5\">\n        <div class=\"custom_CTA mt-5\">\n            <div class=\"row\">\n                <div class=\"col-lg-7 align-self-center text-lg-left text-center\">\n                    <h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Start_Browsing_Privately\"><\/span>Start Browsing Privately!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n                    <p clas=\"mb-0\">iProVPN encrypts your data for protection against hackers and surveillance.
