On Windows 11, the “Reset this PC” feature allows you to quickly reset a computer to the factory settings using the local files or downloading a fresh copy of the OS from the cloud, ensuring that your files, settings, and application get erased beyond recovery.

You can use the “Reset this PC” feature to wipe out the hard drive and reinstall Windows 11 22H2 or version 21H2 if you plan to decommission the computer, the device is not working correctly, you want to speed up the system, or to fix the battery and app problems. Select the “Local reinstall” or “Cloud download” options, and click the “Next” and “Reset” buttons.
