  1. Does Windows 10 retain after factory reset?


    Hi,I have inbuilt installed windows 10 HOME edition on my Asus laptop. I check and the license was OEM. I want to change some things on my laptop and I need to factory reset it.I have got two questions:1. How to do factory reset?2. Will my windows 10 be on the laptop even after the factory reset? By factory reset, I mean to just erase all data on my disk and not erase windows 10. How do I do it?Thanks Aditya Ubarhande

    :)

    Factory Reset After Windows 10 Upgrade


    I have a small laptop running Windows 8 that I'd like to give to a friend after I install Windows 10. If I do a factory reset to remove all my stuff, will it retain Windows 10 or will it revert back to 8?
