That would be with a reset or refresh of Windows instead of a repair install. You won't loose them with a repair install.
You may need to use an ISO file that is for you same version, language, and edition of your currently installed Windows 10.
Brink, the problem is that I received the pc with win 10 already installed. Where do I get the iso file and how do I know which one?
If you have Windows 10 Enterprise installed, then you can get the latest version ISO for it at the Microsoft link below.

You wouldn't be able to just copy the ISO to a USB and be able to boot from the USB. Instead, you could use Option One below to create it directly.
