He built his first computer and I struggled to help him on Skype, it was a frustrating session. At the end, I suggested he check the BIOS and pick the USB with the Windows 10 installation drive. It might have chosen the wrong option, causing the screen to go black every time he turns it on. Since I’m also new, I wondered if there’s a way to reset the BIOS back to factory settings and if there are cheaper options for Windows 10. His setup includes an i3 6100, Asus H110M-A/M.2, GTX 1060, 500W power supply, 8GB RAM, and a 120GB SSD.

Begin by draining the CMOS battery for half a minute, then reinstall it and restart the system.

On Windows 10, many users report positive results using Kinguin, and there are also resold keys available. The outcome depends on individual circumstances.

Avoid anyone offering Windows keys below the MSRP; they’re not authentic. Kingpin mentioned this before. If you need a reset, follow the instructions above or check the motherboard manual for specific steps. The safest way to buy genuine keys is via Amazon or the Microsoft store. Other options exist, but those are your best choices.
