This guide explains basic information about resetting or reinstalling Windows.
When should I reset Windows?
A reset may help if Windows has serious software issues, repeated errors, performance problems, or unwanted software that cannot be removed normally.
Will resetting Windows delete my files?
Windows may offer options to keep personal files or remove everything. However, we strongly recommend backing up important files before resetting or reinstalling Windows.
How do I reset Windows?
Go to:
Settings > System > Recovery > Reset this PC
Then follow the on-screen instructions.
Should I reinstall Windows myself?
Only reinstall Windows if you understand the process and have backed up your data. Reinstalling may remove files, apps, drivers, and settings.
Will I need to reinstall drivers after resetting Windows?
Possibly. Windows may install many drivers automatically, but some devices may need drivers from Windows Update, KOTIN, or the component manufacturer.
