How to Factory Reset my Hard Drive on Windows 10 computer?
If you have multiple drives or partitions, make sure you know which one you’re resetting. I almost reset the wrong one once because I wasn’t paying attention. It’s crucial to ensure you’re wiping the right drive that needs to be reset. Also, if you’re recycling a secondary drive, make sure you’re not accidentally wiping your system drive, unless that's your intention!
After you factory reset hard drive on Windows 10, you might need to reinstall certain drivers, especially if you're using any hardware that doesn't have the default Microsoft drivers installed. I had a situation where my graphics card wouldn’t work right until I manually installed the NVIDIA drivers post-reset. Make sure you have the necessary drivers ready or know how to access them before you reset.
