  1. Factory reset


    Unfortunately we have forgotten the password of the computer (PC windows 10) and we do not have a Microsoft account associated with any of the profiles. In order to access the PC, therefore, it is necessary to restore it from the factory. For this I followed all the steps, solve problems, etc.
    At first the problem arose that I needed an external storage device, so I connected a 1TB hard drive.
    Now I find the problem that asks me to free space on the disk where windows is installed, but how do I do it if I can not access any profile?
    In conclusion I would like to restore the computer from the factory (deleting all files, even personal ones)
    If someone has an idea how to solve this last problem, or restore it in another way, will be great.

    :)

    We can see here that you are having issues with doing a factory reset on your Windows 10. There are several factors

    Factory reset

    Ive factory reset my computer but I can't use the mouse or the keyboard to select laugage

    Hi,

    A device like your keyboard and mouse is not detected during factory reset.
    To help us determine the appropriate troubleshooting steps
    that can resolve your concern, we would like to ask the following questions:

    • Are you performing a factory reset on a laptop or a desktop?
    • Is this the first time you perform a factory reset on your device?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far to resolve your concern?

    In the meantime, if you're working on a desktop, we suggest that you try to use a PS2 keyboard just to bypass the installation process. Once Windows is up and running, you may now plug your mouse and keyboard to initialize Windows to detect these devices.

    We look forward to your response.
