Potentially losing your Windows 10 during a factory reset.
Potentially losing your Windows 10 during a factory reset.
You're asking about what happens if you factory reset a laptop that's been used for college. It depends on the settings you choose. If you reset it to its original factory settings, it might return to the version you had before the upgrade (like 8.1), but if you set it up with Windows 10 during the upgrade, it should stay there. Check your laptop's options after resetting to confirm.
Welcome to the forum. If you go into the settings there is an option to do a factory reset. You can choose if you want to keep files or settings which is nice. And yes, it will keep Windows 10. It should be under update and security then restore. (or something like that my OS is in Hungarian)
