    Taking W10 PC back to factory settings


    HI ... I wish to take my Windows 10 PC back to factory settings, having backed up all desired media. This PC was originally supplied with Windows 8 and updated free by Microsoft. I have downloaded the Windows Media Creation tool on a 16GB flash drive as I was told this was the way to go. There is no OS disc available or recovery discs.

    Can I please be reassured if I should start the process by using this Media Creation Tool or simply type 'reset this PC' in the search box and take it from there? I would appreciate as much detail as possible please.

    Cheers in advance

    :)

    How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

    Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


    First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

    I will assume that these devices belong to you.

    step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
    step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
    step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
    step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
    step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
    step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

    Break command list: Break Commands

    Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

    If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
