Hello beloved tech enthusiasts,

 

it's that time of the year again, light a match and burn everything down. Jokes aside, I usually only reset my PC when I put new hardware in and never done it without throwing a new system on there. So can i just use the build in reset and delete everything function in win10 or should I go an other route? Will I need the win10 key for the reset option?

Can you recommend a free key grabber I can install on a usb stick? I might have some licences on this PC I forgot about.

 

Have a tech day!

If your key is connected to MS account, lohin after reinstall. If not, it most likely will activate again anyway.

 

I would recommend using usb installer rather than integrated restore/reset function. You can't format drive which you are running on.
