Windows 10: Reset Computer will reset to Win7 or Win10?

My laptop is running Windows 10. My laptop is a registered device on my online Microsoft account and it shows that it is running Windows 10 Home.


It was purchased with Windows 7. The Factory Reset partition contains Windows 7.


I would like to give away/sell this old laptop so I want to do a reset delete files, etc.. But I want to reset it to Windows 10 not back to Windows 7.


The instructions to reset are straightforward enough but what I cannot find any information on is, will a reset to a reset to a fresh Windows 10 Home or will a reset go back to factory Windows 7?


Thank you in advance.

"Reset PC" option after upgrade from Win7 to Win10

1. Probably not.

2. A Reset will leave you with Win10 1511 again (and it's too late to rollback either computer to Win7).

 

homegroup win10 not recognize printer & scanner on win7 computer

Thank you so much for the quick response to my problem.

my devices I am trying to access on the win7 computer are:

Printer: Stylus Photo R200

Scanner: Perfection 4180

I had these originally on my computer B4 win10 install. After the install they did not work. That is why I connected to my other win7 computer. The win7 is within my Homegroup and when I access thru win10 I get access to docs, picts, videos, etc but not
the above devices. Reversing this, accessing my win10 computer from the win7, I get the icon my Epson Workforce 310 printer which I set up on the win7 computer for printing as well as the above devices.

Went to Epson website on the win7 comp & found the recommended driver for win7. Did the same on the win10 comp to find drivers for win10. (Did not update these drivers yet.) Apparently they have 2 different drivers dependent on WIN version. Both drivers
are up to date.

Is it possible the drivers are not compatible and this accounts for these devices not showing up on the win10 machine? Don't know if win10 driver will work on win7. I may try to set these up on win10 machine. If work can upgrade win7 to win10.

I tried steps 1 & 2. Step 3, I know I have devices set to show on the network.

Any other suggestions/comments??
