  1. Formatting my laptop without removing the OS.


    I want an empty windows 10 laptop. I currently have the windows 10 home edition. The laptop was bought having a windows 8 probably. Is there a way to remove everything except the windows 10 itself. I'm afraid manually removing files won't do.

    :)

    How To Format A Write Protected Flash Memory ?

    ¿You already tried this one?...

    Run CMD


    1. diskpart
    2. list disk

    Then in the 3º step, put the correct number of disk in the list for the usb flash (if it's listed in disk 3, then you'll have to write select disk 3).

    2. select disk #
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    with that commands you will format the flash drive in fat32, if you have a large drive you can select also "format fs=ntfs" in step 7.

    good luck!
