Here I have Microsoft Surface 3 and let me show you how to accomplish your best operation
0:09
on the following device by using Windows settings. At the very beginning let's hold down power key just to switch on your device, then let's
0:17
unlock the screen. You have to find a PC settings so let's tap Windows button in that corner of the screen
0:25
let's tap it. And here we've got settings, let's choose settings, let's make it bigger
0:32
Here we have a couple of options, let's choose update and security right here, the following one
0:39
Then from the left bar let's choose recovery right here. And here we have a couple of features, you can choose reset this PC, so if your PC isn't
0:49
running well, resetting it might help. This lets you choose to keep your files or remove them and reinstall Windows, so that's
0:56
what we need, let's tap get started. So here you have two options, you can choose keep my files, so remove apps and settings
1:04
but keeps all of your personal files or you can remove everything, so remove all of your
1:09
personal files, apps and settings. So that's what we need, that's what hard reset operation is, so let's remove everything right here
1:18
The device is preparing operation. And now you have to decide that you would like to just remove your files, so this is
1:29
much more quicker but less secure. It is recommended if you would like to keep your PC or you can remove files and clean
1:35
the drive, so this might take even a few hours but it will make it harder for someone to
1:41
recover your removed files, so it's recommended if you would like to give somebody your tablet
1:46
or sell it. In my case, just remove my files is enough, so let's tap the first one
1:52
The following message may appears in front of you, so all you have to do right now is
1:56
connect your device to some battery charger, let me do it, let's connect my device
2:07
Excellent as you can see, your device is ready to reset, so resetting will remove all the
2:12
personal files and user accounts on this PC, any apps and programs that didn't come with
2:18
this PC, any changes made to settings, made in settings, so all customized settings
2:25
So if you are agreed to all of the following results, let's tap reset right here
2:34
And the device is beginning the hardest operation, the Microsoft Surface is erasing all personal
2:42
data and customized settings, the device is also restarting and rebooting, the whole operation
2:47
might take a while, even about 30 minutes or even more, so let's just be patient, wait
2:54
until everything will be completed, do not interrupt while the process is running, wait
2:59
until everything will be finished and afterwards you will see a welcome panel and you will
3:04
be able to activate your device. Thank you for watching, please subscribe our channel and leave thumbs up under the video
