    Problem of Restoring Factory Setting for Windows 10


    I tried to restore my Windows laptop to factory setting, but even when I selected the clean the drive option, still some settings remained unchanged.


    Such as, the input methods I added were still there. The desktop wallpaper, which I set as a solid color, were still there, as well as the theme color.


    Is that normal? Or is there another way to literally restore everything to factory setting?


    Thank you.

    :)

    Reinstalling Windows 10 to sell a PC - is the 'Remove everything' option enough?

    Restore factory settings do list Removes your personal files, apps and settings, and reinstalls the version of Windows that came on this PC.

    So if this isn't true well than just erase the drive and install a clean Windows 10 with all the drivers u need but why should it be true

    How to restore factory settings

    Sorry,as stated in my original post, i am unable to restore to factory settings since upgrading to Windows 10,because the Windows 8.1 restore information has gone. That was the essence of my query. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
