Several circumstances may prompt Windows professionals to perform a factory reset on one or more Windows 11 desktops or laptops.
A factory reset restores the target PC to the same condition as when it first left the factory. This action removes any settings, preferences, and other customizations you made after the device arrived. Any applications that you have installed will no longer be present.
A factory reset is a valuable option to revert a device to its original state.
