    Questions about recovery/reset this PC within Windows


    Win 10 Home on old Toshiba LT with an old SSD installed I want to use the recovery/reset this PC option in Win 10. I have two options, " Keep my Files " or " Remove Everything". I have no media creation backups or ISO. I know I can create them, I can't be bothered, I just want to reset the LT/refresh Win 10. By just choosing the " keep my files " option, anything I have deleted prior or into the recycle bin, after the reset/refresh could these files/folders be recovered, does choosing the above option make them unrecoverable? Would there be any issue resetting/refreshing Win 10 on the existing old SSD?

    :)

    Problem resetting PC - no recovery image registered

    Yes, need to clarify .... "reset" is a generic meaningless term.
    - Windows recovery ?
    - proprietary device recovery (factory default setting) ? (Absolutely NOT recommended if this was the case)
    - and/or Windows repair (often confused/interchanged with "recovery" ?

    How was this attempted (steps taken) ?
