  1. Lost windows 10 after factory reset


    Hi

    I have a Dell laptop with Windows 8 originally installed. I had installed windows 10 on it.

    After I factory reset with windows, 10 installed it turned back on and got back windows 8.1

    So is it possible to get windows 10 back?

    I tried installing again using MediaCreationTool.exe


    Selected the option Upgrade this PC now

    after the downloading process of Windows 10, the installation stops and I get the following error:

    Something Happened

    We can't tell if your PC has enough space to continue installing Windows 10. Try restarting setup.


    I don't know what to do now.

    I appreciate any help.

    :)
