Windows 10: I cannot restore my Windows 10 PC?

Howdy,

I have tried to restore my Windows 10 PC so that once everything is off the PC.

When I try to reset my PC via the "Reset this PC" item in the Windows settings, I get the error message "Problem refreshing the PC, no changes have been made".

Using the administrator prompts I have already done what was recommended to me in the last support mail from Microsoft and on many forums. (So the one with /Scannow etc...) Unfortunately this did not help. When I try to reset my PC via the "Advanced Startup" setting, I am told that no admin account was found, although my main account and also a second account are specified as admin.



My goal is to reset my PC so that only Windows with the pre-installed programs is left, as if you would buy a new PC.

MfG!

Restoring Windows 10 Image using Macrium Reflect


In addition to the above. Here's my suggestion in step by step.
I assume you have Macrium Installed in your current HD and already made a backup copy.

1. Connect your new HD via USB port and boot up.
2. Run Macrium, click on Restore tab then select the Backup Image that you made to restore
3. click on "select a different target disk" then select your new HD as destination
   
   
   
4. Proceed to restore then Shutdown and disconnect the old HD and replace with the new HD
5. Boot up with your new HD.

System restore is handy when it works like it did for me 2 days ago saving the need to reinstall all of my software as well as windows, id suggest using norton Ghost 12 for an excellent system restore feature.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
