Windows 10: I need help Factory resetting my laptop with Windows 10

Hi,

I know this is a common question, yet I'm unable to do it. I have tried factory resetting from being logged in but it restarts the computer and says "something went wrong".

So my alternative is to create a USB using the Mediacreationtool.exe downloadable here on the Microsoft webpage. I've done this, and when I restart my computer and boot from the disc I get to a window which asks me to choose
#1 language
#2 timezone
#3 keyboard language.

I input the settings and then reach a window which says "Install Windows". The guides I've read states to factory reset I need to click the other button saying "repair windows..." or similar text.

I click the repair window and reach the Troubleshoot window. Here I'm presented with 6 alternatives.
Startup Repair
Command prompt
Uninstall updates

UEFI firmware settings
System restore
System Image recovery.

So the 2 alternatives I see here are the 2 later ones, system restore and system image recovery.

Alternative 1: System Image recovery
If I try System Image recovery it says i reach a warning box saying:

"Reimage Your computer

Windows cannot find a system image on this computer

Attach the backup hard drive or insert the final DVD from a backup set and click retry. Alternatively, close this dialog for more options."

I click cancel and tries to browse for an image, which I'm unsuccessful to do.


Alternative 2: System restore
i click system restore and reach an error window
"System Restore

To use System Restore you must specify which windows installation to restore. Restart this computer, select an operating system and then select System Restore."

And from here I'm unable to solve Alternative #1 and #2.

Could I get some guidance on how to factory reset my computer, and if I've done any mistakes on the way.

Cheers, Jonathan

:)

 

How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

I will assume that these devices belong to you.

step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

Break command list: Break Commands

Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".
