FIGURE 9-4 The Reset This PC feature offers the option to preserve data files (and some settings) or start fresh,<br />
removing all files, apps, and settings and effectively doing a clean install.<br />
Both options are equivalent to reinstalling Windows <strong>10</strong> from scratch, with the added ability to preserve<br />
files and some settings or to perform a clean install.<br />
The Keep My Files option<br />
This option is the equivalent of the Refresh Your PC feature from Windows 8.1, with the noteworthy<br />
difference that it does not preserve apps acquired by the user from the Windows Store. (These need to<br />
be restored after the reset is complete.) Choosing Keep My Files retains all data files and preserves the<br />
following personalized settings:<br />
