    Syskey Removal


    I activated SysKey and have the password on an early version of Windows 10 1703. Because Syskey is no longer supported I cannot upgrade to the latest version. Will windows refresh remove the syskey and is it the best procedure for removing Syskey and starting with a clean slate.

    :)

    Hello, thanks for sparing time for my issue .
