The Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) is a platform built into Windows that allows you to troubleshoot startup issues, perform system restores, or access advanced options such as the Command Prompt and Safe Mode. It can be launched while the system is running via the Settings menu or forced to start if the PC fails to boot.

  8. Touch “Keep my files” to remove all apps and settings but keep all personal files or “Remove everything” to remove all personal files, apps, and settings.
    CAUTION: Removing everything erases all data, including your account configuration, applications, music, pictures, and files. Make sure that you back up all the required data before you proceed.
  9. Select “Cloud download” or “Local reinstall”.
  10. The reset menu is loading. This may take a moment.
  11. Select “Reset” to start the procedure or “Cancel”.
  12. The reset starts.
     The process can take an hour or longer. When the reset is complete, the Windows setup process begins.
