Prerequisites for resetting Windows
You can reset for Windows 10 Home. Pro, Enterprise, and Education editions.
NOTE:
Dell Data Assistant takes you into Windows Reset if you're using a non-Dell PC or if you do not have Dell OS
Recovery 5.3 or greater on your Dell PC.
The prerequisites for resetting Windows 10:
● Ensure you backup all important data and close all applications before proceeding with Windows Reset.
● Ensure that your system is plugged in before proceeding with reset. If the system crashes during reset, your system might
end up in an unusable state.
● Ensure your system supports Windows Reset.
● Ensure you have either a recovery media (USB drive/DVD) or a recovery partition on your system.
Computer manufacturers (OEMs) usually ship systems with recovery partitions. To check if your system has recovery partitions:
1. Press Windows + R key to open Run window.
2. Type diskmgmt.msc and press Enter. You should see a partition that mentions Recovery or System Reserved.
