    How to I wipe the computer if I screwed up the wiping process?


    I was trying to wipe a Dell 24 7000 Series AIO Computer with windows 10 using the windows reset option. Unfortunately, once the wipe started I disconnected the keyboard to use on another computer. On returning to see how the wipe progress was doing on the old computer I found it stuck on a black screen and could not continue the process until I input one of the following options to: 1. use the fnc 12 or2. use the esc key to continue. But I no longer had a keyboard connected. I tried used the previous keyboard but it is not being recognized. None of my keyboards work. What do I do now?

    :)

    Your report suggests that your installation has suffered some damage which prevents Windows from doing a reset. In such stubborn cases I would do this:

    1. Create a new media installation disk:

      Windows 10 herunterladen
    2. Run setup.exe on this disk.
    It would wipe everything, including your data and all applications.
