    Need advice - Reset Win10 laptop; it's hung for several hours at 99%


    My son made a few errors with his laptop and created unstable performance. I chose to reset it and wipe data thoroughly rather than quickly. This was late morning. I moved on to preparing for our Thanksgiving after initiating this process. The blue window has been on the screen for some time with the status message 'Resetting this pc 99%.' The laptop has been in this state since 12 noon - 1 pm. At this hour I have developed some concern something is wrong. However, I am choosing to leave the laptop as it currently sits overnight. The only action I can take ir to press the power button and despite my concerns with the duration this involves I do not see this to be wise.

    This laptop is a lenovo X230 w/i5-3210M, 8GB RAM, and Win10 Pro.I purchased the laptop used in its current state.

    :)

    Resetting the laptop stuck at 99%

    Original Title: reset laptop

    I bought an Acer. When the laptop was switched on at the shop, i skipped the step where i had to insert my microsoft email add.

    The laptop was functioning normally, windows 10 were installed. Then at home, i tried to sign in but it didnt work out. I went back to the shop and they had to reset the laptop but its stuck at 99%. The resetting is taking hours and hours. Is this normal?
    All programs have been lost as well. Please help.
