Reset or Reinstall Windows 10

Refresh your copy of Windows 10 without losing your data

Windows 10 can reset all its system files without affecting your personal data. Refresh does the following:

• Reinstalls Windows 10 and keeps your personal files.
• Removes apps and drivers you installed.
• Removes changes that you made to settings.
• Removes any apps your PC manufacturer installed. (If your PC came with Windows 10, apps from your PC manufacturer will be reinstalled.)

To get started with a refresh of your system files, follow these steps:

1. Click Start , then type "reset."
2. Select Reset this PC (System Setting).
3. Under Reset this PC, select Get Started.
4. Select the option to Keep my files.
5. Note any apps or drivers that will need to be reinstalled after the refresh has completed.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the refresh process. This takes some time and your computer will restart.
