2. Perform one of the following steps to perform the PC reset:
● Click Just Remove my files if you want to perform a quick format, such as overwrite files on the drive, on your local
drives. It is advisable to use this option if you want to retain the operating system.
NOTE: You can recover your data using third-party tools if you choose this method of reset.
● Click Remove files and clean the drive if you are planning to give this PC to someone, or repurpose the PC, and you
want to ensure that all data is removed from the system. Depending on the type, size of disks, and configuration of the
system, the process can take from an hour to a few hours.
Just Remove my files is quicker than Remove files and clean the drive, but it is less secure.
After selecting the type of reset, the system displays a summary stating what will be removed from the PC.
