    Resetting computer without loosing personal files


    Hello,


    So I got a computer from a friend, resetted it a couple days ago to clean it entirely, it is a HP EliteBook *360.


    While trying to solve an internet issue on another computer I accidentaly brought this hp to a recovery point instead of the former.

    It won't launch now. Always opens the recovery interface. Tried most of the options available, bringing it back to the latest recovery point won't work, Windows 7 won't launch. Resetting while keeping my data as well.


    I am thinking of downloading Windows environnment in a usb drive, but will loose some recordings I have on the computer. Is there any way I can keep my personal files and reset the computer ?


    Thanks in advance,

    Max

    :)

    Personal files not removed after reset

    Hi Steve,

    To better assist you with your concern, I would like to ask few information:

    • Do you have any external drives connected to your PC?
    • Is your OneDrive sync On?

    If you have an external drive connected to your PC, I suggest that you disconnect it first before you perform the reset on your computer.
