Learning how to factory reset your computer can help you keep your PC running like new. This process will erase whatever existing data and programs you have installed on your hard drive and reinstall Windows to reset your PC to the state it was in when you first opened the box (and sometimes even better since it won’t include all the unwanted programs – crapware – that can come with most new PCs).

I’ve worked in the videogame and software development industry for 17 years now, and have been working with “high-end” computers in layout and graphics production for 5 years prior to that.
