2:00 he actually starts

"You'll need to close any program you have open" *closes internet browser*

That is the best kind of voice a person could have for explaining all things tech. Very soothing and very easy to understand. Bravo good sir.

Much appreciated, gets to the point rather quickly and just says what to do, tells everything correctly, explains it all, well done

Not going to lie you kept it short and sweet and gave us nothing more. I like this kind of video and keep u the good work.

gonna do this in the middle of my zoom call gg

I can't thank you enough for this video. I have reset my computer, pack it ready to go and put it for sale today and it sold only 3 hours after posting it. Thank you so much! You have saved me 125$ worth of having this done by a professional and frankly it is not hard and not worth paying that much money when it is so simple to do, when you know what to do! Now I can put all of that money towards my moving. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Your video came up first when I did my search and this was brilliant - really well done and told me exactly what I needed to know. The Superman looking animation in the beginning was a plus cuz I'm a HUGE Superman fan. Thanks for this. 👍🏼

settings > update and security > recovery If u don’t want to watch the full vid

Perfect! Concise - to the point - no fluff and it works like a charm -- EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you -- I have liked and subscribed because of it to help your algorithm.

Exactly as it should be, clear concise not over complicated. Great help, thanks.

Thank you. Just what I was looking for. Nicely demonstrated as well

How could anyone dislike this? He walked you through each step.

This was wonderfully straightforward and simple to understand. I felt that I had the knowledge I needed to make the important choices easily. Well done.

Simple and to the point! Thank you so much!

This video is greatly appreciated. I felt like I knew where to look to reset the PC but I couldn't find it until I watched this

Amazing video Dave. Just what I was looking for after finding tens of confusing articles online. I just wanted a clear and simple explanation that doesn't take 20 minutes. Thanks a lot! 🙌🏼

I wonder if that felling you get right before pushing reset and deleting everything is similar to pushing the button for a nuclear boom.

Short to the point, great video thanks Dave.

Thanks for this! Very straight forward and easy to follow

100% Legit! Thank you, that was so much easier than the "rabbit hole" other tubers where trying to take me down.

Dave, you are really one of the best EASY ways to help and resolves the problems.

I cannot believe that I DID IT!!! I could not have done it without you. There was a small glitch but I listened to your words to work around some different wording., The process took me less than 5 minutes, I waited and I quickly had an erased computer to send back. Thank you so much.

Used your video to clear and remove all from my old laptop, as donating it to charity. Thank you so much for the knowledge, worked well :)

Thanks. Simple and straight to the point. Many thumbs up!!!

It could not have been any easier well explained. Many thanks

Thanks for making it so simple and painless.

Moment of silence for the people who are stuck on: 99% Edit: whoa thanks for the likes

Thanks Dave, the basic information is still the same in 2021, i purchased a used pc and wanted to wipe out the test account setup to demonstrate it was working.

Hi im using the first step on reseting the computer i did not wipe all the files. Just got reseting my PC for those who are having problems on stucking in % or having problems when it go backs from 90% to 0% Just dont do anything to your computer guys just wait it will end soon maybe some are fast maybe some takes too long it depends on your Pc if how much viruses or bugs let the computer fixed the problem “Patience is virtue”. Bdw its takes 4hours and 30mins to my pc and now its worth it no more viruses and also having a smooth playing better performance. I did not use the 2nd option because im already satisfied for the first BDW thanks Dave for your easy procedures i click sub. To your channel more power :)

Nice, simple, easy to follow. Thanks!

Thank you for short and precise walkthrough!

Thank you so much! I followed your instructions, and it solved my problem. Thank you!

Bought a new HP laptop and when setting it up I had to use my old computer to do it. So Windows 11 with Edge and Bing got into my other computer and now I can't use my older HP with Windows 10 for anything. Following you and starting back to work. Thanks for your site.

Worked great! Thank you appreciate your videos, straight to the point👍🏽💯

Me: *wants to reset to make space* Windows: *you need xGB of space to reset* Me: 😐😐😐

Very helpful - slow, easy to follow and simply explained!

Very nice and clear video, easy to follow. Thank you.

Thank you young man I am a 66 year old lady, lop top froze, couldn’t find a video, so what I did, hold the turn on button a few seconds ( before that I pressed a lot of keys haha, this was out of desperation), well, it started, then I followed the instructions on your video, now I am just waiting! Thank you again!🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏

Worked great! Took about like 4 hours but my ssd memory had 120gb of free space(after using all these other KZfaq methods and then also trying third party software) Now it had 445gb! So grateful 🙏🏽 I did the clear all data option btw

thanks Dave this really helped me because im giving my old lap top to my cousin and he will be really happy

Thanks man. It worked. Simple easy to follow and spot on.

Saved me $100. Thank you sir!

This was actually easy to understand thank you man

Just what I was looking for Dave.. I have liked & subscribed. Thank you :)

The fact that this took me almost 6 hours... but it is really helpful, I strongly recommend it. Thank you.

The feeling of regret when you clicked okay to resetting it and you cant go back EVER

This really helps and it was so easy to follow

Now I know what I need to do to return my PC to the store. Thank you for the easy-to-understand instructions

really well done, easy to understand and highly useful. Thank you Dave!

NOW I CAN START PLAYING ON IT THANK U :D

Excellent and easy approach in wiping the laptop. Thanks

Super helpful. Quick video. Thanks so much.

I watched this to find out if there's a way to save videos and pictures. I was too lazy to find out by myself. Thank you so much though! I recently did some sketchy optimization and it demolished my fps in videogames so I hope factory reset helps me out. Love and peace!

Thank you so much!!! This made my pc speed up so much

You were the first one that came up. Your video helped a lot.

im typing this comment when its about to shutdown bye guys edit: im doing it again bye again guys

ME: "OPEN THE SETTING" computer:no I love you ME : YOUR NOT GOING TO REMEMBER ANYTHING YEETS ALL THE FILES AND GAMES computer:ok,am not going to turn on😆

This was simple and sweet and easy and helped me accomplish what I wanted which was resetting it and completely wiping it so I can hopefully sell it for someone else to use.

How refreshing Dave. No waffle. Perfect and easy to follow. I have one question. I feel confident doing the reset and I've backed up all files so I'm going to wipe everything. If the user account gets wiped is it easy to set up a new one?

Thank you, typing as is dele

Great tutorial! Simple and clean. A quick question: What happens to the drivers of key components such as the motherboard, gpu etc. when we select the 2nd option and delete everything? Do we have to download them or use an external component to install them such as DVD or USB? If the motherboard's driver is deleted than we won't be able to access the internet right?

Thank you very much!!! Reset my laptop to use for work and your video helped me reset my laptop.

Hvala Dave srce si majke mi, vise godina te gledam za isti video

Nice it helped me! I have an i7 9700k 3200mhz ram and a 970 Evo it took me 30 minutes

Hi Dave, great video, that's easy to follow, however I had one issue. After resetting my Dell laptop (Removing apps, but keeping files) and restarting I find I have a small blue circle flickering next to the cursor, which is very annoying. I do not have a mouse as I am using the touch pad. I have tried restarting the laptop and checking the touch pad driver, but all seems up to date. Any help appreciated.

I went through all the steps you showed in this video. It is now resetting so that means time to clean the dishes. I will let you know how it went once it is done!

Excellent, concise, very helpful, thank you

That intro sounds like Alpha M's. Nice touch :)
