Windows 10: Trying to reset PC while keeping updates

I have an older (but still Win10) PC I want to give my daughter. I'd like it to enter the new user setup when she turns it on so she can create her own account, etc. But I'd also like the version of Windows installed to be updated so she doesn't have to spend the first couple of days downloading & installing them.

Can it be done? As far as I can see when I reset the PC then it reinstalls the original version of Windows. But if I don't reset it then I'll have to walk her thru (over the phone) setting up her account & deleting mine, the one I used to update Windows. Thanks.

:)

 

Unable to reset the pc

Hello,

If you are having that message while trying to reset your computer, We suggest you to create an installation media for Windows 10 using Media
Creation Tool and perform a Reset.

Once the installation media is created, follow the steps below:

• Insert the installation media you created, and then restart your PC.
• On the Install Windows screen, select Repair your computer.
• On the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot. From there, you can use Safe Mode. Select
  Advanced Options >Reset This PC>Remove everything.
• After the reset is complete, check for status.

Give us an update on what happens.

 

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".

 

Windows Store Broken while trying to fix error

Hi,

Thank you for keeping us posted.

As most of the troubleshooting steps suggested was unable to fix the issue, I would suggest you to perform a system reset by following the steps below and check again.

Resetting lets you choose whether to keep your files or remove them, and then reinstalls Windows. To get started, go to
Settings (Windows key + I)> Update & security >Reset this PC >
Get started and choose an option.

Note: In the reset Window, the Keep my files option will:

• 
  Remove any apps your PC manufacturer installed.
  
• 
  Remove changes you made to settings.
  
• 
  Remove apps and drivers you installed.
  
• 
  Reinstall Windows 10 but keep your personal files.
  

The Remove everything option will remove everything and also your personal files.

Disclaimer: Create a backup of your programs and files before you initiate the reset to avoid data loss.

Let us know the result.
