You can proceed with the Windows reset using one of the following options:
● Keep my files—to reuse the system personally and want to refresh the operating system to the factory state. This option
retains your data, and only removes the installed applications and application data.
● Remove everything—to pass on the system to your family members, or to sell or trade-in the system. This option provides
you with two levels of reset depending on how the system is intended to be used post reset.
