Refresh or Reset Your PC
in Windows 2007/2008
If
you're having problems with your PC, you can try to refresh or reset it.
1. Refreshing your PC reinstalls Windows and keeps your personal files, settings and
any applications that came with your PC or apps that you've installed
from Windows Store.
2.
Resetting your PC reinstalls Windows but
deletes your files, settings and applications – except for the
applications that came with your PC.
Why do
we need to refresh PC?
If your PC isn't performing as well as it used to, and
you suspect that an application that you've recently installed is causing the
problem, you can refresh your PC without deleting any of your personal files or
changing your settings.
Warning
The applications that came with your PC or that you've
installed from Windows Store will be
reinstalled, but any applications that you've installed from other websites and
DVDs will be removed. You'll find a list of the removed applications on your
desktop after refreshing your PC.
