    I have a question about resetting my Windows 10 PC.


    I was in the process of resetting my pc when I saw this post.Give your PC a Fresh Start microsoft.com At the bottom of the post it says "You may also lose your digital licenses and digital content associated with apps, which may impact your ability to use these apps or app-related content you paid for." And I'm confused at how I would lose a digital license to an app. Shouldn't it be linked to my account?

    :)

    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

    Reset PC in Windows 10

    Hello Raghu,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community and providing us with the detailed description about the issue.

    As per the description, I understand that you are experiencing issue with what will happen if you reset your PC in Windows 10.

    I certainly understand your concern and will try my best to help you.

    I would suggest you to refer to the article given below and check if that helps.

    Please refer to the article given below and check if that helps.

    How to refresh, reset or restore your PC

    How to refresh, reset, or restore your PC

    When you refresh your PC:

    • Windows will save your personal files, personalization settings, and Modern apps installed from the Windows Store.
    • Windows will reset your PC settings.
    • Windows will remove all installed desktop programs.
    • A list of the removed programs will be saved to your desktop.
    By resetting your computer settings and removing all desktop programs, Windows 8 can “refresh” your PC so it’s more like a fresh install without deleting your personal files.

    When you Reset your PC:

    When you reset your PC, Windows will remove everything. Think of this like doing a complete Windows reinstall and formatting your hard drive.

    • All your personal files and apps will be removed.
    • Your PC settings will be changed back to their defaults.
    Note:
    If you’re experiencing problems with your computer and want to fix them, you should try refreshing your PC first. Windows will restore system files and desktop programs to their default state, saving all your important personal
    files (and Modern apps, if you use them.)

    If you want to reset your computer to its factory default state – particularly useful if you’re getting rid of the computer and want to remove your personal data, or if you just want a clean start — you should reset your PC
    instead.

    The above steps holds good for Windows 10 as well.

    For more information:

    I would suggest you to refer to the suggestions provided by
