When should you reinstall Windows 10
A complete reinstall of Windows 10 is not something you should do on a regular basis. Previously, SoftwareLicense4U has provided a number of tips that ensure that your Windows computer or laptop continues to function correctly (and quickly).
In some cases, a computer may simply malfunction because the hardware is faulty. In that case, reinstalling Windows does not affect performance. Or you may have accidentally downloaded a virus. In such cases, you are better off with a good virus scanner than with reinstalling the operating system. Are you sure that those previous factors are not the reason for a malfunctioning PC or laptop? Then choose from the possibilities below to simply reinstall Windows 10 on the computer.
Reinstalling Windows 10 without USB or CD
Windows 10 has the (very) useful function ‘Reset this PC’. Thanks to this functionality, you remove all programs that you have previously installed. Personal documents such as photos, videos and (Office) documents will remain on your hard disk in many cases. However, it may be useful to back-up these documents on an external hard disk. Windows is completely reinstalled thanks to this functionality.
To use this feature, follow the next steps:
- Go to the ‘Start Menu’
- Click on ‘Settings’
- Click on ‘Update and security’
- Click on ‘System Restore’
- Click ‘Reset this PC’
The following options are offered: Delete All and Save My Files
Save my files: When you choose “Save my files”, your personal documents will be retained. Also the software that was installed on the computer by default will not be deleted. Other programs such as games, Office packages and graphical applications will be removed.
Delete all: Do you choose the option “Delete all”? Then you also lose all personal files and software (photos, videos, drivers, games etc.) that you have put on your PC or laptop. However, software programs remain on the computer that was installed by default. In general, the entire hard disk is erased when you choose this option. The process will therefore take more time than the option “Save my files”. It does, however, provide a clean computer that should be in top condition afterwards.
