Windows 10: Will reinstalling windows via USB work if i can't reset it normally?

Recently I wanted to reset my PC and when i try and do it normally, it says it could not do it. So I was wondering if reinstalling with USB would work and if I would encounter any errors.I also have 2 drives so when I get to the managing partitions section of the installer, how do I know which one is my SSD? they are both the same sizeThanks!

3. clean
4. create partition primary
5. select partition 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)

Copy Windows Vista's DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive

And that's it, boot off your usb disk

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

• 
  Were you able to install the USB 3.0 drivers for your motherboard/chipset from the manufacturer’s website?
  

Suggest you to completely uninstall the USB driver and reinstall it to check if this helps.

Follow these steps.

• 
  Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
  
• 
  In the list of devices, you should see the USB device.
  
• 
  Right click on the USB device and then select "Uninstall".
  
• 
  In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
  

In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes”
option. This will force the computer to recognize any hardware changes. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.

Reply with the status of the issue and we will be glad to offer our assistance.

 

windows can`t communicate with epson 7620 scanner using usb

Hi Lake,

Thank you for your response.

As per the description, I understand that the Epson device/program is not compatible with the USB 3.0.

I suggest you to connect it to the USB 2.0 and check if the same issue persists.

I suggest you to disable and re-enable the USB controllers. The following steps will uninstall all the USB controllers and then re-install them:

• Right click on Start, and then click
  Run.
• Type devmgmt.msc and then click
  OK. Device Manager opens.
• Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.

Note: You might have to scroll down the list to find this item.

• Right click the first USB controller under
  Universal Serial Bus controllers, and then click Uninstall to remove it.
• Repeat step 4 for each USB controller that is listed under
  Universal Serial Bus controllers.

Note: Restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically scan for hardware changes and reinstall all the USB controllers that you uninstalled.
