    How do I restore windows 10 to its previous state after a "reset?"


    I usually do because I learned that lesson a long time ago. Unfortunately, I had been too busy to install my Acronis True Image Director backup after I installed Windows 10.

    I might even do a clean install before I install all of my software back for the simple fact that a "reset" is not a clean install. Plus, I am seeing some issues (i.e. when I right click on my desktop, I get a straight line without any texts) that I don't really want to bother troubleshoot

    Well, I plugged the old computer back in the same place, and it's been running for over an hour. My custom build computer has not random reboot [at least not yet]. Now, I am totally confused. *Huh

    Edit: it looks like the problem returned. Since this problem is a total different topic, I'll start a new thread.

    I did, once. Never again. It was a huge mess. Pcs come to me all the time that had been set up like that, new OS over old. I won't try to repair em like that, I'll backup all their data and do a fresh install, a real one.
