  1. Reinstalling Windows 10 after Resetting PC to factory settings


    I reset my PC to factory settings forgetting about Windows 10.

    Its completely reset to Win8 now and I don't know how to get 10 back.

    My online Microsoft account still shows that my home PC this one has Windows 10 but it doesn't.

    Tech support is not available. Does anyone know?

    :)

    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

    Reset Acer Travelmate to factory settings


    Hi all, I have an Acer Travelmate with Win10 (1607), I would like to save Win 10 to a stick, then reset the laptop back to factory settings and then reinstall Win10. There is no program on the laptop that requires saving. Any advice or suggestions, not to technical, would be very much appreciated, thanks Roy
