I have a pc or laptop with Windows 10 and wanted to reset it because I bought a game and I want to sell it now the problem is only when I go into the Windows setting and click on reset it starts a few times and then comes the message "there was a problem, no changes were made" and then there's only cancel when you click on it, the pc restarts and all things are still on it
Then (anyway *) you won't get around manually reinstalling. Download the Mircosoft Creation Tool.

This will create an .iso file for DVD or USB.
Before doing this, pay attention to what is getting more electricity when starting up. DVD or USB I see it quite well because I have USB sticks with light, you can hear the DVD drive. Is that the DVD player you create a DVD. The other way around USB
This saves you having to create both and start over if it was the wrong one. Or change the start order in the bios,
* The restore via the settings is responsible for a bucking Windows. Resets this to a date when Win was still running clean. All data was retained.
Okay thanks I know that was not my question but I think you know your way around it so you have another question do you know how I install Windows 10 on my pc without an operating system? Can also write you all components right away😊

Exactly the same procedure as above. Play the ISO file on DVD or USB (the MS Tool makes the USB stick bootable) and then start the computer from the DVD / stick - done. However, you need a product key!
A few months ago it worked for me with an old Windows 7 key.
Okay thanks ☺️
I know you wanted to know something else, but that's the soft / easy way to go if you want to keep the PC in case of problems without much damage.
When it comes to sales, it MUST be different
To completely delete the OS, I had also tried that for the purpose of selling. Not even with the format C that has been common for decades. It only remains what I have described. New installation on the sales stand with BS but without data. The term make flat is also common.
You cancel this reinstallation if you should enter the win code. The buyer concerns himself with dirt. Write it down before you start.
Settings, system, info
In Win 10 the code is stored in the BIOS, but to use it when selling would be to sell the key. A foolish idea. He should please get one or use his old one.
The values are relevant for sales.
