Restoring Windows 10 without data loss
Restoring the Windows 10 operating system without data loss can be done in several ways. Here are some of them:
1. Using the “Computer reset” functionality:
– Open the Start menu and select “Settings”.
– In the "Update and Security" section, select the "Recovery" tab.
– Click on the “Start” button under the option to reset this PC.
– You can choose whether you want to keep your files or delete all data on reset.
2. Creating a system disk image:
If you have access to a second computer, you can create a backup copy of your current state of Windows 10 by creating a System Image. Then transfer to a new hard drive or SSD drive.
3. Utilities for password recovery:
There are third-party software tools such as PassFab Recovery Suite or Ophcrack Live CD that can help you access a locked user account without losing data.
4. Clean installation of the operating system:
This is the last possibility and requires full formatting of the hard disk. Before performing this operation, be sure to create a backup copy of all important data.
In any case, before starting the process of restoring or reinstalling Windows 10, it is always recommended to make a full backup of your files and folders on a separate drive or use online data storage services for information security.
