Windows 10: Question about "Reset this PC" for Windows 10. Which version would it reset to....

Let's say I purchased my PC, with Windows 10 version 1703 installed, plus a few OEM drivers and OEM application.

Over the years, I've Windows Updates, and now I'm on Windows 10 version 1909.


Now, what if I now use the "Reset this PC" button. Settings->Update & Security->Recovery

What version of Windows would it reset to?

Am I right that it would reset to Windows 10 version 1703, with OEM drivers and OEM application ?


Now, allow me to tweak the question a little bit.

Let's say I purchased my PC, with Windows 10 version 1703 installed, plus a few OEM drivers and OEM application.


But then I manually fresh clean reinstall Windows 10 version 1809. Hence no OEM drivers and no OEM application.

I'm just trying to understand better how "Reset this PC" works.


Thanks a lot.

Some questions about reset my pc.

Resetting would do this:

• All your personal files and apps will be removed.
• All user accounts will be removed.
• Your PC settings will be changed back to their defaults.
• If you have more than one drive (partition) on the Windows disk, you will have the option to remove all files on only the Windows drive or all drives on the disk.

As apps would be removed, the game would also be removed, provided if it is installed.

why does it remove my files if i chose the "keep my files" option?

 

Having random resets on Windows 10

So this started happening today, I started getting random Kernel-Power critical errors (41) with zero bugs in the Event Data, and then I turned all bios to default, and I also removed the PS2 connector from my keyboard and began using USB, because I wasn't able to access bios, (sorry if that's unrelated, just trying to think of everything). I read on a thread about someone with a similar situation that if the resets are happening in Bios, then it means it's a hardware issue. I've been on bios for about 20 minutes, and usually this is around the time that the shutdown occurs. I thought it had to do with photoshop, tried not using photoshop, still crashed on me. Let me clarify as well, this is not a BSOD, this is just an immediate swap to black screens on both monitors for a brief amount of time (3 seconds) and then the Windows 10 start logo comes up with that teal offset window. The fans in my PC dont even stop moving, the lights dont turn off, it just resets. Any ideas?

edit: I also reverted to a system restore point before a critical windows update on the 27th, this didn't deter the reset. reset first happened while streaming Squad using OBS, second crash happened when just OBS was up.

Oh, I also forgot to mention that at the time of the last reset, I was verifying validity of game files, and my disk usage was maxed out for about, 7 minutes. (I have an extremely old 1tb HDD, if that warrants concern) I have also unplugged the motherboard reset switch, just to eliminate idea of reset switch being shorted

EDIT2: Direct question, "If the resets are not occurring in the bios, does this eliminate the fault of any hardware?"
