  1. How do i reset my computer and reinstall windows?


    I tried to change the text size did not like the text, so I changed it back to the regular size. In doing so, the icon folders on my desktop moved on top of on another. I removed "auto arrange icons", however when I hover over a folder/icon on my desktop it shows and outline stretched horizontally and can only be placed on the upper 50% of the screen and cannot be placed near another folder/icon

    :)

    5. Go to the OneDrive Download Page :https://onedrive.live.com/about/en-us/download/ and click the "need to reinstall?" link on the page to get the new installer.

    6. Let me know if the installer has any trouble this time

    Follow these steps to reset your PC:

    Option 1: Select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Recovery. Under Reset this PC, select Get started.

    Option 2: Restart your PC to get to the sign-in screen, then press and hold down the Shift key while you select the Power icon > Restart in the lower-right corner of the screen. After your computer restarts, select Troubleshoot > Reset this PC.

    Option 3: Select Start , then press and hold down the Shift key while you select the Power icon > Restart to restart your computer into Recovery Mode. After your computer restarts, select Troubleshoot > Reset this PC.
