Factory Reset Windows10: There was a problem resetting your PC FIX


How to Factory Reset Windows10 or upgraded to Windows10 from Windows7 or 8.
This is also a FIX for the ERROR: There was a problem resetting your PC.
This fix is only for Legit Authorized Copies of Windows 7, 8, or 10.


Hey all, I upgraded to Win10 from Win8.1 when it was released for free upgrades in 2015. It is now 2016 and I wanted to Factory Reset my PC so I can start fresh again. I attempted to do it from Settings/Update and Security/Recovery/Reset this PC as suggested by Microsoft but I received and error saying "There was a problem resetting your PC. No changes were made." After searching the web I found many different fixes but they all seems so involved. Making a boot flash drive or burning a DVD and use their software... There is an awesome tutorial on this forum called Windows 10 Clean Install but I like to KISS when I can (Keep It Simple Stupid) so I decided to check with Microsoft.com before I started that process.


THE SIMPLE FIX I FOUND THAT WORKED FOR ME:
Go to: Windows 10
Click the "Upgrade Now" button.
Follow the prompts and you're good to go.
Works with Windows 7, 8 and 10. Simple enough for me

I wasn't able to find this simple suggestion when searching the web so I felt I should post it in hopes it helps someone too

My PC ran into a problem..

The way it works here: The more specific your description, the better your chances of getting the right answer on the first try.

When you say "not responding properly" and "hangs always" - both of which can happen for thousands of reasons - you're likely to get guesses; or long lists of procedures to try with the hope that something will work; or instructions on how to reinstall
Windows.

Here's how to improve your chances for success without wasting a lot of time:

• What were you doing on the computer when the problem(s) first started?
• Describe your problem(s) in as much detail as you can, and don't worry about using proper terminology. If you're able to post screenshots of your problem(s) those are always helpful.
• If you are seeing error messages, what is the complete text of the error messages?
• What steps have you already taken, if any, to resolve your problem(s)?

With that as background, you're in a much better position to receive an explanation of your problem(s) and the correct steps to fix them on the first try.

This is your motto: More information = Less frustration.
