  3. Files show up when choosing installation path ONLY

    Hi,

    Enabling view hidden folders/files option is the initial step that you can do to view those missing files. Since you've already tried that step, we suggest changing some settings in the
    Folder Options. Follow the steps listed to make changes in viewing your folders:

    • Type This PC in the Search bar then hit
      Enter
      .
    • Double-click Desktop then click the View option on top.
    • Go to the Options tab then click the drop-down button and choose
      Change folder and search options.
    • Click the View tab and uncheck the highlighted options:

    What files are considered as "Personal Files"?

    Hi,

    Personal files includes documents, photos and videos. If you saved these kind of files in D:\, it will be considered as personal files.

    If you choose to reset your PC and keep your files, it will:

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

    Should you have any other concerns, don’t hesitate to let us know.
