Is your Windows 11 PC running slower than molasses in January? Before you throw it out the window (pun intended!), consider a factory reset. It's like giving your computer a fresh start, wiping away all those accumulated files, programs, and settings that might be bogging it down.
Thankfully, resetting Windows 11 is pretty straightforward. Here's the gist: Click the **Start** button, go to **Settings** > **System** > **Recovery**. You'll see a "Reset this PC" option. Clicking that will launch a wizard that guides you through the process.
You'll typically have two options: 'Keep my files' (which removes apps and settings but preserves your personal documents, photos, etc.) or 'Remove everything' (which completely wipes the drive, ideal if you're selling or donating the PC). Choose wisely!
The reset process can take some time, so plug in your laptop and be patient. Once it's done, you'll have a clean, responsive Windows 11 installation, ready for you to customize and enjoy. It's often the best way to breathe new life into an aging machine!
