    Windows 10 reset does not work


    Because of frequent crashes, and printing errors that can't be diagnosed, I want to reset or reinstall Windows 10. In settings I am told that I can't roll back to the last version because it's over 10 days old. I have spent hours on trying to reset twice, the second time opting to erase everything. Both times I got the message "there has been an error", without any indication of what that means. I would really like to do what I did 20 years ago, reformat the HDD and reinstall from the CD, but of course there never was a CD for this version. How can I download a clean copy of Windows, and reins

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
