Can you reset a laptop from another PC to factory settings?
There are sure to be videos on YouTube
Yes, via remote maintenance.
But only in the preparation for recovery that runs under Win10.
In the 2nd section of the recovery there's no access to a previously installed program, such as TeamViewer.
Correction: I have read the above question a little too quickly - I started from Win10. - Excuse me.
If the XP PC should actually have a recover on the hard disk for resetting to the factory settings, the Recovery Manager would have to run under Windows.
As you put the question: Not at all.
Especially since there are no "factory settings" in the usual sense under Windows.
A few more general words on the subject:
Reinstalling or "resetting the system" is not a reset or restart.
This does not eliminate errors - especially in situations in which laypersons tend to use this function: in the event of hardware errors.
This only destroys system logs that could have been analyzed for errors - especially in the case of hardware errors.
The system is also not accelerated or "detoxified". This is just an esoteric effect that is eliminated when you start to reinstall your programs.
A little research on this platform is also sufficient to see that the "reset" causes so many problems and also completely excludes users from their system that one should avoid this function better than the devil does holy water.
It is not a DoItYourself solution for laypeople, at best it is the last resort when professionals can't think of anything else. Even then, professionals would reinstall Windows from an installation disc!
By the way, professionals create and use regular backups. You don't need something like "reset".
By the way, "Reset" does not necessarily delete your personal data in such a way that it can't be (partially) restored by professionals. So this function is of little use if the computer is resold.
