Hello!
Today i wanted to Reset my PC, because i'm doing that every 2 Years.

Since now my PC got slower and slower i thought it is time.

I had windows 7 Installed and Upgradet to windows 10.

Now when i want to Reset Windows 10 over settings, it says " Problem while resetting the PC " " No changes has been made "

( Sorry for bad english & translation. )   Here are some screens:reset1.PNG

you don't have a goddamn usb stick? go buy one it's like 5 bucks or something. im not sure whether you can still freely upgrade to win10 from earlier versions, but a quick google search will tell you that. but regardless, i have clean installed win10 many times(i upgraded from win7 for free) and it has always worked.

I know what you are thinking but upgrading to 10 from 7 doesn't give you a key...

get that tool. make your usb stick as bootable media, boot from that and install windows 10(clean install). or then download that tool and install win10 on ur pc directly if it lets you(i don't remember whether it lets or not)

i know that. i don't have key, it still works. windows makes this "hardware key" , it activates itself. or then call up microsoft and theyll activate it for ya it's not that hard

Yeah but it has the watermark and you can't use some options.

you don't need a key because windows will auto activate because you already had  an active copy on that system.

no jesus fucking christ what watermark? it installs full windows. everything works. windows activates it once it connects to the internet and looks "oh, you had earlier activated copy and same hardware key, kk fam dis is legit" then it activates windows. boom. no problems. iv done this a million times
