    Reset Laptop data - windows 10 pro


    Hi

    I want to reset my PCs data remotely using my Microsoft account. Is there a way to do that?

    I was recently laid off and my laptop had a lot of my personal stuff in it. I just want to make sure everything is wiped clean before its given to another person.

    Your help is highly appreciated.

    :)

    Reset laptop in Windows 10

    Hi,

    Resetting your laptop thru the Settings app is the safest and easiest way to reset your computer. Check out this article:
    Reset or reinstall Windows 10. Follow the steps on how to reset your PC.

    Note: Resetting your computer will wipe all the files and data on your laptop. We suggest backing up important files on your computer to avoid data loss.

    Should you need further assistance, feel free to post your query any time.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Reset Laptop data - windows 10 pro

    Windows 10 Pro or Windows 8 Pro from Windows 7 Pro ?


    Just replaced motherboard on my old Dell D830 that I had upgraded to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 7 Pro last August.

    Went through steps on setting up new MOBO and it is up/working just fine.

    I happened to run Belarc Advisor just to get a snapshot of data for the file. What is interesting is that Belarc indicates the O/S is Windows 8 Pro (build 9200).

    I looked at another recent thread here at TenForums and also took some of the steps suggested and figured that maybe I needed to install or re-install Windows 10. I checked the Update/Security/Activation tab and it indicates that Windows 10 Pro is installed, activated with a digital entitlement.

    So ... why does Belarc seem to see only Windows 8 Pro? Maybe because of the "maturity" of the D830? I know that Dell has disclaimers at their site that says the D830 has not been certified for Windows 10.

    So, it is working, but the data from Belarc just has me scratching my head.

    Any suggestions or thoughts?
