Laptop + Windows 10 Fresh Install + Partitions
I have suspicions of issues on my daughters ASUS laptop. It has had some viruses recently and tbh I am just not comfortable with her using it now until I can wipe it and start it all afresh.
I upgraded (the free update) from windows 8 to windows 10.
Just so everything is put back in order I wanted to do an ASUS factory reset but it keeps coming back with an issue saying that there is a missing partition.
From memory I think there were 7 partitions (I will post a screen dump when I get a chance).
In the recent past I did the windows 10 boot via the USB formatting the 2 large partitions and putting it in one of them which seems to work ok but I am just worried about anything in the partitions being compromised so to be on the safe sound would prefer just to wipe the slate clean and start again. Soooooo
1 - Is there a way to sort the built in “Factory Reset” and is it 100% that everything will be clean.
Or
2 - Is there an alternative way to 1. of getting a comprehensive clean install of windows 10. I am conscious that I might need to start hunting around for drivers etc as I assume that’s the reason for the OEM and Recovery partitions etc.
Cheers
