Windows 10: Will factory resetting my pc result in loosing my one drive files?

Hi, I'm running low on disk space and my one drive its taking up a lot of space. I want to perform a factory reset but I don't want to loose my one drive files. If I go ahead and reset, my one drive folders will be deleted. I'm asking if it's going to affect the files in my one drive too?

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".

 

How to Factory Reset Drives?

Greetings,

I recently was having issues with my PC and decided to factory reset it from a USB drive. When it was finished resetting, I had 3 drives instead of my normal 2, so I deleted the extra one. I then factory reset it once more and when it was done I had Windows
on my 1 TB drive (D instead of my 100 GB drive (C. My C: drive only has 500 MB available on it now and it says I have 111 GB of unallocated memory. How do I reset my drives back to factory settings? I have tried resetting my PC and it has only reset files
but not the drives. Any suggestions?

Thank you

 

PC is stuck on boot screen. How do I save my files and then rest my pc to factory settings?

Hi NyJam22,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

Please follow these steps to save the files on the PC before you reset the PC to Factory Settings:

1. From Advanced Options from the Automatic Repair screen that you see, go to Command Prompt and type ‘notepad.exe’.
   
2. From the Notepad window, press File and open to locate the files that you want to copy to the USB.
   
3. Plug in the USB device to the USB port. Now copy the files and folders that you want to save and paste it in a new folder on the USB drive. Please repeat the file saving steps as needed to save all the desired files.
   

Once this is done you can now proceed with the Reset of the PC to Factory Settings.
