Prerequisites for resetting Windows 8.1
You can reset for Windows 8.1 Home and Pro.
NOTE:
If you have upgraded Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, Windows reverts to Windows 8 after reset. You have to manually
upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1.
● Ensure that you back up all important data, and close all applications before proceeding with Windows reset. Also, ensure
that you have unplugged all external media, such as USB drive, external hard disk, and so on, except for recovery media if
applicable.
● Ensure that your system is plugged into power supply before proceeding with reset. If the system shuts down during reset,
your system might end up in an unusable state.
● Ensure that your system supports Windows reset.
● Ensure that you have either a recovery media, such as USB drive or DVD, or a recovery partition on your system.
Computer manufacturers (OEMs) usually ship systems with recovery partitions. Perform the following steps to check if your
system has recovery partitions:
1. Press Windows + R key to open Run.
2. Enter diskmgmt.msc and press Enter.
Disk Management is displayed.
3. Verify that the system contains a recovery partition.
