 +======How to reset your laptop to the Windows 10 factory image====== 
 + 
 +Before doing the steps below make sure you have all your data backed up on an external source i.e. thumb drive, external hard drive, or cloud storage. ​ This process will delete all data and user accounts. ​ When completed your laptop will be like it was out of the box from Dell.  We recommend using this method to “refresh” you laptop to give it a longer life after graduation. 
 + 
 +1. Click **Start** , then type "​reset."​ 
 + 
 +2. Select **Reset this PC (System Setting)**. 
 + 
 +3. Under Advanced Startup, select **Restart now**. 
 + 
 +4. At the Choose an option screen, select **Troubleshoot**. 
 + 
 +5. Select** Factory Image Restore**. 
 + 
 +6. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the reset process. This takes some time and your computer will restart. 
 + 
 +Once the reset process is complete you will need to setup your system, simply follow the onscreen instructions. ​ If you are signing in with a Microsoft ​account ​that account will be used via Microsoft support for password recovery. 
 +If you don’t have a Microsoft account you want to use, we recommend making a secondary local administrator account as a backup in case you forget the password for your primary account. ​ You can do this by doing the following:​ 
 + 
 +1. Click Start , then type “users"​. 
 + 
 +2. Expand the **Local Users and Groups section**. 
 + 
 +3. Select **Users**, and then **Action** at the top of the window, and click **New User**. 
 + 
 +4. Create username and password for the account and click **Create**. 
 + 
 +5. Click on **Groups** on the left in the **Computer Management** window, then double click **Administrators**. 
 + 
 +6. On the next window click **Add**, type in the name of the new account you just made and click **Okay**.
