    Windows 10 won't let me factory reset


    Hi, me again. After much thought, I've decided I want to fully reset my laptop back to factory settings. I've already saved my folders that I wish to keep onto a USB.


    After I go into Settings > Update and Security > Recovery > Reset, it comes back with "Could not find the recovery environment."


    So I try to create a recovery drive. "We can't create a recovery drive on this PC. Some required files are missing."


    I would appreciate any assistance!

    :)
