You will lose any personal data that you have stored on your drive. Make sure to back it up using our recommendations earlier. You should also make a list of all programs installed on your computer so that you can restore them after Windows 10 has been reinstalled. Let’s now learn how to reinstall Windows 10.
How to reinstall Windows 10
Microsoft understands how difficult it can be to reinstall Windows 10. That’s why they’ve gone out of their way to make it easier.
Windows 10’s simplest method of reinstalling Windows 10 is via Windows itself. Click on ‘Start>> Settings > Updates & Security > Recovery’, then click ‘Get started in the ‘Reset this computer’ section. To ensure a clean reinstall, a complete reinstall will wipe your entire drive.
Windows will not load if it fails to do so. If you have a recovery drive, you can access the screen. If this happens, click ‘Troubleshoot and then ‘Reset your computer’.
This new approach has the advantage of allowing Windows to either recover from an existing system image or, failing that, use a special set of files that will download the most recent version of Windows during the reinstall process.
This means that you won’t have to install a lot of post-install updates in order to get Windows back up to speed. It is very simple. Your PC restarts. After a short pause, your screen may ask you whether you want to delete files from all your drives or only the one that Windows is installed on.
To protect data files on other drives or partitions, unless you intend to dispose of your PC, choose ‘Only the drive that Windows is installed.
There is also an option to “clean the entire drive” – this should be skipped unless your PC is being sold. Click ‘Reset’ to let your computer do the rest.
Post reinstall
After you have completed reinstalling Windows 10, it is time to install your apps, set preferences, and restore backup data. You will find step-by-step instructions below.
After you have finished, you will need to reinstall the key desktop applications. Make sure you download the most recent versions and install them.
1. Restore settings
To restore synced settings or install apps previously installed, you will need to log in to your Microsoft account. To restore these settings and apps, you will need to verify your account. Click ‘Start > Settings> Accounts> to confirm your account. Then click the Verify link.
2. Restore apps
To access all your previously installed apps and your settings, open the Windows Store (Start > All Apps> Store).
Click on ‘Show All’, then click on the download button for each app that you want to restore. After you have finished clicking your user picture, choose ‘Downloads to update the built-in apps.
