  2. Forgotten PIN and expired password

    Hi Dyari,

    Thanks for your answer.

    I tried steps of both links:

    • #1: reset PIN code
      • I see no link "reset your PIN"on login page --> I can't reset it
    • #2: change or reset windows password
      • My Windows account is not displayed at all on login page.
      • I am using a local account
    If you have any other suggestion, I would be more than happy to try.

    Regards,

    Guillaume

    Recovering Windows License After Factory Reset

    I am planning to perform a factory reset on my laptop. I have a few concerns about my Windows license:

    1. Will I be able to recover my Windows license after the factory reset?
    2. Is there any specific step I need to take before performing the reset to ensure my license is retained?
    3. How can I verify my Windows license information before the reset?
