Windows 10 Issue , BIOS did not changed to default after PC re-installation.

[keavlar]

Hey guys. 

 

So I just reinstalled the PC(Windows 10), fresh installation, and for some reason, it saved some settings on my PC.

First of all, it found the pictures that I used for backgrounds, is located on the hard drive and is also shuffling like I set it before.

And the weirdest thing is that the BIOS stayed the same, usually, it will go to default, but it did not change. 

 

Does anyone have an idea why?

PS, I used an original  USB to reinstall the Windows 10, not from the Windows itself. 

I have original USB for Windows 10 Pro. 

 

The reason I did reinstall the PC, cause Kaspersky gave me a message about AUtOKMS that was installed on my PC.

I did delete it but still decided to reinstall the PC. 

 

So this is the case, anyone has an idea? 

For BIOS and some setting not to change to default? (By the way, I logged in with my Microsoft account, but I don't think this could actually be a reason for all these changes to be saved?! )

 

Also, thou I read that Autokms, is for cracking a key for windows, I read somewhere, that it actually can be used as a tool to get excess to your pc. Is that correct?

First of all, doing a fresh windows installation never changes something in the bios, if no drives were changed, and then only the boot order needs to be changed.

 

depending on how you did the fresh install, all the old junk stays either on the system, or if removed all partitions on install well be a complete fresh install without old clutter.

 

As for settings, yes your MS profile saves settings and loads them to a new machine/install when configured.

Reinstalling doesnt affect bios.

 

Reinstalling without formatting simply erases and reinstalls stuff inside your c:windows folder.  It doesnt erase anything in c:users (my documents) or appdata (where screensaver settings might be stored)

 

Having said all that, its not likely to give a hacker access to ur comp.

Guess I forgot eventually to say that I formatted every driver I had. 

I have 3 total hard drive. C, D, E. C and E its an SSD, D is Videos. So I formatted the C and E. 

But I do need to say, when formatted, there was some unlocated space for 800Mb, I guess that what saved these settings. 

Also, when I was reinstalling for Windows 7, it did change the settings, especially in BIOS. 

I am not sure about what system you think I am talking. 

Anyway, usually in BIOS, the settings I set up for Ram overclocked from standard 1600  to 2133  and some others, would always be back to default.

BIOS is independent from OS. I can only think one reason where BIOS settings would change and that is if you have used software OC (yak!). Otherwise it remains until you change something. It might be that you have had some issues with booting in past and have selected to load optimized defaults when asked.

Installing or reinstalling an OS has nothing to do with BIOS settings, so something else was going on there.
