Win10 What does it mean to reset this computer WIN10 reset this computer feature detailed tutorial

WIN10 Reset this computer This function, know a lot of people, I believe there must be more people in the case of unknown truth with this function, bad luck of the small partners lost a lot of valuable information. In fact, this can not blame everyone, some names Microsoft said also very vague, such as "Personal file", under different conditions, it refers to the content of the same. Today I'm going to explain how WIN10 resets this computer, and before doing this, you need to know what the results of WIN10 reset this computer are, and here's how to find the answer.

Win10 What does it mean to reset this computer?

Resetting this computer means restoring the factory setting, initializing the current system and reinstalling Windows.

In the Win10 of the RE model, you can "reset this computer" or "go back to the previous system."

1. Reset this computer

Role: Automatically reinstall Windows 10 system once, you can choose whether to retain the existing software, applications and data.

2. Fall back to previous versions (in Advanced options for troubleshooting)

Refers to the "upgrade" mode, the installation of WIN10, can be directly back to the system before the upgrade. For example, upgrade from Win7 to Win10, fall back to Win7. (All software applications and data of the original system will be retained)

You may choose to try reinstalling the Win10 once to resolve the current failure or to abandon Win10 to return to the original system.

WIN10 Reset the computer? How do you use it?

WIN10 's "Reset this computer" location in "Settings-Update and security-recovery", click "Start" to start the reset, as shown in the figure.

Next appears this picture, the first option says "file" refers to the file in the C:\users\, to the partition outside the C disk has no effect, this option is not very thorough, the most obvious feature is that the recovery and the original is no difference. The general choice is the second option, the specific effect to the next step. Here, we select "Remove all content".

This step is to select the partition that you want to delete (called "Drive"), which is what we often say in C disk D, and so on. "Windows-only drives installed" means the C disk. "All drives" refers to all partitions except the recovery partition, such as the partition, if you accidentally selected this, then other disk files are deleted, must not choose the second option. If you are unsure, click the bottom option to confirm the partition that will be affected.

These two options can be understood as formatting, the first equivalent to a quick format, because and win8/8.1 restore principle and the effect is not the same, so can not be said to be the real meaning of the format, because after the recovery, some drivers are still, sometimes even appear windows.old or ~ The WINDOWS.BT folder cannot be said to be fully formatted, but the effect is similar to the reset. The "file" here refers to all the files of the selected partition.

The second option is a low-level format, it erases all the data of the selected partition, making it difficult to recover, on the one hand time-consuming, on the other hand also has a greater impact on the hard drive, if it is not to prevent transfer to others after the recovery of your data is not necessary to choose this option.

Select the first option here. Next wait for a moment, as shown in figure.

This shows that there is no problem, click "Reset" can be.

Then, the reset is automatically restarted after the preparation is complete. Sometimes it will be stuck for a long time, and then the network can be solved.

Resetting this computer, this process typically takes about one hours.

To this end. Then there are some summaries.

1, reset this computer and direct lattice reload which is good as if the public to say that the right, the woman said the woman rational. But their characteristics are also more obvious, from the time, the lattice plate weight is equipped with the absolute advantage, but some people say that after resetting the proportion of the more refreshing and smooth, and reset can retain the drive, this place compared to the grid reload is an advantage.

2, and win8/8.1 difference: win8/8.1 's "restore" function and Win10 reset this computer function operation is basically the same, but there is a different place.

win8/8.1 to use the Restore function, you must have a recovery image (either the INSTALL.WIM/ESD in the original image or the Wim/esd file that you backed up with DISM, but it must be a win8/8.1 image to prevent errors from being prompted) to store the partition and REAGENTC command to configure the recovery environment.

Win10 don't need this, as long as there is a 450M recovery partition can be reset, so seemingly a good thing, it is really a lot of operation, but more often it is a bad thing, because in the Win10, even with the REAGENTC command configuration of the recovery environment, specify the recovery image, It still doesn't work when you reset it, even when you do it:

The reset is still pure Win10. In other words, it is difficult to restore a system with a custom image file in Win10.

Note: do not rely too much on "resetting this computer" because in a few cases, resetting will always cause errors. The best way is to use U disk after installation, mounted drive and commonly used software, clean up the C-disk with DISM or dism++ backup good, need to restore the time in PE direct recovery on the line, the proportion of efficiency to the computer much higher.
