Restarting Windows
Hey guys today I want to reset my pc to factory settings beacuse its slow. The questions ı have are, Will my bios settings reset? Will I need any Windows Usb things that you download windows with? How long will it take? Will I have to download any dirvers? Do you recommend to do it?
Bios reset usually means you need to open the BIOS during startup (or use the BIOS battery if possible, though I haven't tried that in years). For drivers, you might need to reinstall updated versions, but Windows can usually install basic drivers to get things running. If you're concerned, make sure to back up your drive first. Having a USB or disc handy is helpful. The time required varies—older systems take longer than newer ones, but expect at least an hour minimum for the whole process.
Windows 10 includes this feature, allowing you to fix it without losing your personal files. I suggest saving your data first before trying it. Simply remove the software and reinstall if problems persist, as a sluggish system can often be improved with built-in tools. If the issue continues after using those tools, a fresh installation might be the best choice.
I mostly adjusted the BIOS options and haven’t reinitialized them.
Discussing the bios and your setup: GTX 1660 Super with Ryzen 5 3600, 16GB RAM at 300MHz RAM.
Newer updates for Windows 10 include a built-in reset option, though I advise against using it. Consider using a USB drive with the Microsoft Media Creation Tool to obtain the latest Windows 10 installer and create a bootable USB from it. Start your system from the USB, select Custom installation, then remove all partitions from your main drive and install them onto an unallocated space. Keep in mind: you’ll erase all data on your Windows drive unless you back it up first. Your BIOS settings won’t reset. Downloading Windows 10 may take time depending on your internet connection. The ISO file is approximately 4 GB. Updates typically install quickly on modern computers. You can use Windows Update for automatic driver updates, but for optimal performance you’ll need to download the latest drivers manually. If your PC runs slowly and Windows contains unnecessary files, it’s a good idea to start over.
