    There was a problem resetting your pc. No changes were made.


    I was running Windows 7 and upgraded my pc to windows 10. I wanted to do a clean reset and remove everything from the pc. When I go to Settings>Update and Security>Recovery>Get Started>Remove Everything, I seem to always end up with the error message: There was a problem resetting your pc. No changes were made. Someone please help.

    :)

  2. There was a problem resetting your PC - No changes were made

    I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you

    I would skip the buggy Reset and create the bootable media to wipe the drive and do the vastly superior Clean Install:

    To create Windows 10 Installation Media on another PC install Media Creation Tool and follow the directions here:

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/m...


    Insert media, boot it by powering up PC while pressing the BIOS Boot Menu Key:
    https://www.sysnative.com/forums/hardware-tutor...


    If the media won't boot you may need to enter BIOS/UEFI Setup (pressing key given in chart in link above) to turn off Fast Boot or Fast Startup first.

    Choose the boot device as a UEFI device if offered, on second screen choose Install Now, then Custom Install, then at the drive selection screen delete all partitions down to Unallocated Space to get it cleanest, click Next to let it create needed partitions
    and start install - this makes it foolproof.

    There is a step included to rescue your files first if they are not backed up using the bootable media here:

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

  3. "There was a problem resetting your PC. No changes were made."

    Go to a working computer, download, create a bootable copy, then perform a clean install.

    Step 1: How to download official Windows 10 ISO files

    Step 2: How to: Perform a clean install of Windows 10

    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/wiki...

    Review the following guide for instructions and details about configuring your BIOS or UEFI boot settings for DVD, CD, USB or SD Card.

    BIOS/UEFI Setup Guide: Boot from a CD, DVD, USB Drive or SD Card

    https://www.groovypost.com/howto/bios-uefi-setu...

    Once your computer is set to boot from the DVD, you should see this option. If you are installing from a retail Windows 10 USB thumb drive, you will be asked to select either 32 or 64 bit Windows 10. Learn more here

    https://www.groovypost.com/howto/choose-windows...


    The Windows logo will appear on screen, this might be here for a while, as long as you see the animating dots, everything should be ok.

    Select your Language, Time and Keyboard method then click Next.

    Click Install now

    Windows 10 setup will prompt you for a product key during installation a couple times. If you originally upgraded from Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 click the option 'I don't have a key' and 'Do this later' . If you have a Windows 10 product key, you can proceed
    to enter it.

    Setup will also prompt you to select the edition you have a license for - Home or Pro. Please make sure you choose the right edition. If you choose the wrong edition, your only option will be to perform a clean install again.

    The copy of Windows 10 you download and upgrade from will correspond with the edition of Windows you have installed, if it does not, this is why you might be experiencing problems activating:

    Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Windows 8.0 Core, Windows 8.1 Core should install Windows 10 Home

    Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8.0 Pro, Windows 8.1 Pro should install Windows 10 Pro

    Wait while setup prepares to copy files

    Accept the license terms then click Next

    Click Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)

    NOTE: Sometimes Windows 10 setup can become confused if it see's a thumb drive. You might get a driver missing error or something to that effect. If you do, restart setup, but this time, when you arrive at the following screen, disconnect your thumb drive then
    go through Custom options. When setup is ready copy files, it will prompt you to reconnect the installation source (your USB).

    Select the drive then click New

    NOTE: If you have multiple partitions listed, select each one (starting at the bottom), then click delete until there is only a single (one) unallocated drive displayed in the window.

    Select the unallocated drive listed, click New, click Apply then OK

    This will split the drive into multiple partitions, select the Primary partition then click Next.

    NOTE: The System Reserved partition is where recovery files are kept for diagnostics and repairing damaged Windows 10 files; or even reinstall Windows 10.

    Wait while Windows installs

    When this phase of setup is complete, Windows will automatically restart then reboot into setup again.

    Windows is detecting and installing your hardware. After this is complete, Windows will restart one last time.

    The Out of Box Experience page is where you get to configure detailed settings in Windows, which includes creating a user account, configure privacy, sync PC settings and install modern applications.
