Guide of Reinstall Windows 10

This guide shows you how to reinstall Windows 10 on your computer. Maybe you’re trying to fix a severe update problem or get rid of a virus, or perhaps you’re prepping to sell your laptop on Someone. 

Whatever the reason might be, reinstalling Windows 10 can be confusing, especially given there are several ways to do it, and each has its own set of pros and cons. That said, let’s take a look at how to reinstall Windows 10.

Back up your data first

We strongly recommend that you back up your data before making this kind of significant change to your PC. Windows 10 even makes it easy. Just follow the necessary steps below.

Step 1: Type “Windows update” into the Windows search bar and select Windows Update settings from the list of results. Alternatively, click on the Action Center icon in the lower-right corner of your screen, select All settings, and look for Update & Security. Once there, select the Backup tab.

If you see an on-off indicator in the next window and it’s toggled to the “On” position, then that means File History has been automatically backing up your files. These files include your contacts, desktop files, and data housed in your One-drive folder — meaning you probably don’t have to worry.



Step 2: If your File History tool is off, then you will see an option to add a drive.




Click on the addition sign (+) next to Add a drive, and Windows 10 will search for an external drive to use for the backup.




Select the drive that you want to use for File History. Doing so will toggle File History on, and Windows 10 will automatically start backing up versions of files in your libraries. You can click More options to change how often files are backed up and how long they’re kept for. You can also configure which folders and libraries are backed up. Depending on how much data you have, however, this can take some time, so get busy with something else and wait for the backup process to finish.





You can check on the status of your File History by scrolling to the bottom of the Backup options pages and selecting See advanced settings under Related settings. Doing so will open the Control Panel File History window, where you can see the status and access to additional options.



Of course, if you prefer to transfer everything to an external hard drive or use a cloud storage service for your backups, please do! Whichever approach you choose, make sure nothing valuable can be lost.

How to roll back Windows 10

Step 1: In the Update & Security window, go to the Recovery tab. Here, you will see an option to Go back to the previous version of Windows 10. Click the Get started button and wait.


Step 2: Windows is now going to look at how much information it has to work with. You will then fill out a brief survey as to why you’re going back and checking for updates to see if those might fix a problem. Follow the on-screen steps until you are presented with the choice of which Windows 10 build to work with.

Sometimes, however, the operating system can’t find the right files needed to revert to a previous build, especially if you’ve been cleaning your digital house lately. In such instances, it’s better to seek another solution.


Choose Previous Build


Step 3: If the preparation works, then you’ll be able to revert to a previous build, which is great if a major update or recent installation caused something to go wrong. If available, look for the most current, trouble-free build you can recognize that is still using Windows 10. Sometimes you will only have access to previous operating systems on your computer, though, like Windows 8.

If you done all these correctly you are successfully reinstall Windows 10 to Windows 7.
