Reset Windows 10 or completely reset?

I sell my laptop at about 8 am and am doing a boot stick for win. 10 but I think I can't do it anymore and win 10 after that.

Are there differences between newly set up and a new installation of windows 10 itself?

I myself believe that rewriting everything first deletes and reinstalling only Windows on Windows 10 without changing the other data.

Would be interesting to find out what you mean by "re-sit" and "reinstall".

The most important thing when selling a computer is in any case an empty hard disk.

Why is that important? If you just reinstall the computer, then the beginner can't access previously stored data. But with simple tools, you (non-novice) can certainly access previously stored data (such as images or documents, or…).

Therefore, you should delete the hard drive before selling - safely delete. How this can be done is explained by the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI): https://www.bsi-fuer-buerger.de/BSIFB/DE/Empfehlungen/RichtigLoeschen/richtigloeschen_node.html

Then you can think about whether you "re-set up" or "reinstall":-)

Okey, thanks for the future, but I have now reset Windows using its internal function, it also states to reset the hard drives.
