Resetting Windows 10 will restore your computer to its factory settings, erasing all your personal files, programs, and settings.

The following is what you will lose if you reset your Windows 10:

Resetting the computer will restore the operating system to its initial state, much like when you initially purchased it. However, the drivers, programs, and software can be reinstalled from the original manufacturer.

Resetting Windows 10 is a severe measure that should only be taken if all other alternatives have been tried and the system is having serious problems that can't be fixed in any other way. Always back up your crucial data and configurations before resetting your computer.

If you want to back up your important data, it would be best to use professional backup software, like EaseUS Todo Backup. This is because Windows built-in backup tools cannot meet your every backup need and have no advanced backup options.

EaseUS Todo Backup is an easy-to-use backup and recovery utility for Windows 7/8/10/11. It can help you back up a computer's files, systems, partitions, etc., and back up multiple drives at once.

In addition, you can use it to perform a universal restore. For example, it lets you install Windows on a hard drive for another computer. Most importantly, it lets you create different backup modes and enjoy 250G free cloud storage to help you back up your files to the Cloud.

You will lose your personal files, programs, and settings if you reset your Windows 10. But if you use backup software like EaseUS Todo Backup to back up your data, everything will be kept safe and sound.
