Windows 10: Reinstall Windows 11 using USB will remove preinstall apps from manufacturers like Samsung,...

For some reason, I end up stuck at Windows 11 Pro after through this and I reset ox, and still didn’t work. I’m might have to upgrade to Pro or reinstall through USB.

:)

 

Can I reinstall Windows and keep all the files, but reset the settings and remove all preinstalled apps?

Please see this tutorial from the earlier post:

Reset Windows 11 PC Tutorial

• Reinstalls Windows 11.

• Removes apps and drivers you installed.

• Restores any apps your PC manufacturer installed if your PC came with Windows 11.
  

 

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

Hello Shiftadvance,

I am Jaspreet Singh.

Using the reset and keep my files option removes he preinstalled apps and settings though the apps installed by your manufacturer may remain which will need to be uninstalled manually.

The option does provide a list for all the apps that are to be removed so you can try the option out and check which apps are being removed by clicking on "list of apps to be removed" link during the reset process. If the apps you want to remove are not on the list cancel the reset and then make and backup and go for a full reset.
