What's going on guys it is Bernardo and today is all about resetting your windows 10 laptop
or desktop so let's get right into it.
Alright so like I said before resetting your windows 10 laptop or desktop super simple
anyone could do it.
So let's get right into it on the desktop we are going to right click on the Start menu
Click on Run, I'm going to type in WINVER hit OK.
And I'm running everything within a Windows 10 version 2004 now the version does not matter
but I know different builds.
It's going to look a little different so don't freak out, you are still able to reset your
machine.
Okay.
So, on the desktop we are going to click on the Start menu, and we are going to click
on this sprocket that gear it's going to take us to the windows Settings section of the
Windows environment, and from here we are going to click on update and security.
Now on your left hand side we are going to click on recovery.
And there we go, reset this PC so we are going to click on that button that says get started.
And you get this nice little dialog box with two options now.
Both options are extremely important.
And they both do different things.
Now within this video I am going to do the first option which is keep my files.
The second option basically removes everything, all your documents, all your videos, your
pictures, everything inside of the desktop.
Documents folder, C drive, picture folder is going to be completely removed if you pick
the second option.
So regardless if you do option one or two, which option one basically keeps your files,
right back up your system.
Take a flash drive stick it inside your laptop or your desktop.
Drag and drop everything inside your pictures.
Download folder.
My Documents and your desktop and check your C drive because sometimes you save stuff inside
the C drive that you don't know about back that stuff up, alright, then come in here
and pick one of these options now for this video I am going to pick keep my files.
When I click on it, it's gonna say getting things ready, and eventually it wants you
to pick, how you want to reinstall Windows.
Now I did a video with you guys dealing with these two options.
I will leave the link at the bottom, at the comment section so you can take a look at
that cloud download and local reinstall was no difference with my testing, but for this
video I'm going to do a local reinstall.
And you're going to get this option right here additional settings.
If you click on change settings, you only have one option if you slide it to your right
to hit yes, what's going to happen is it's going to download Windows and then reinstall
Windows which is the same thing as the cloud reinstall weird right.
So I'm going to slide it to the left to no.
Click Confirm, then I'm going to click on Next, getting things ready again and bam.
It then gives you a couple of bullet points of what's going to happen you are able to
click on View apps that will be removed if you click on that gives you a list of all
the apps that are going to be removed from your machine.
Okay, so that means you got to get the EXE files, the DVD, CD or the download link to
reinstall all these softwares back into your machine wants to reset is done, sucks right.
So we are going to click on back, and from here we are going to click on reset, and I
did a fast demo which the video is going to go right now really quick.
Take a look at it.
When I did the local reinstall it took around 32 to 40 minutes.
Right.
And like I said before, I already did a video, comparing the cloud and the local reinstall
I'm gonna leave the link at the bottom so you guys could check that out.
Because I think I did a timer on both of them, and the time wasn't wasn't a big difference.
Not to me.
So, uh, yeah so let that ride and I catch you once it's done.
And we are back so hopefully you guys enjoyed that quick video of the reset process.
It takes a while, so just be patient.
But the cool thing is once you log into your machine, right, you should see your documents
on your desktop.
And within the Downloads folder within documents as well as pictures if you pick that first
option right if you did remove everything, it's going to remove everything, and hopefully
you did do a backup, backup is key.
Now on the desktop, you should see a HTML file named remove apps if you double click
on it and open it, you're going to see a nice little list of everything that was removed.
Now one of the cool things that Microsoft provided within this HTML, it gives you a
hyperlink so if I click on notepad plus plus, it takes me to the site to re-download the
EXE file for me to install, it'd be nice if Microsoft kind of generated something that
if I click on it, it will install it for me automatically but that's not the case.
And that's it guys hopefully you guys enjoy this video make sure to hit that thumbs up,
smash that subscribe button, hit that notification bell to get the latest and greatest from this
guy, and I'll catch you guys on the next one.
Peace out.
