Restore factory settings on Windows versus reinstalling the operating system.
Restore factory settings on Windows versus reinstalling the operating system.
I often questioned whether a full factory reset, which resets C: drive, is equivalent to manually formatting and reinstalling Windows. I’m reaching out since a complete reset ensures all drivers are present and avoids the trouble of locating compatible ones, especially on older systems. What do you think?
Over the years I’ve noticed it’s the same thing, though a factory reset usually brings in extra unwanted software. It varies by maker.
Absolutely, I'd be happy to remove all the unnecessary features.
