    Does WIn10 upgrade require a new password reset disk?


    I upgraded from win 8.1 pro to win 10 pro a little while ago. This was an upgrade not a clean install.

    Do I need to remake my password resets ? I currently have one for every user on every machine.

    :)

  2. create a password reset disk

    Hi,

    Creating a password reset disk requires you to sign in using a local account, and there shouldn't be an issue of doing it. However, we would like to know what do you mean by "nothing happens". We also suggest that you check this
    article to see if you're doing the same steps for creating a password reset
    disk.

    We're looking forward to your feedback.

      • If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.
