Windows 10, 11 refresh will make your computer faster! Let's do it step-by-step

Why should you need to refresh your Windows?

A new computer is usually loaded with a lot of unwanted and unnecessary software: trial versions of programs, unnecessary and intrusive applications, and much more. Most likely, you will hardly ever need them, and they also slow down your computer and reduce the amount of free computer memory.

Of course, you can try uninstalling all these unnecessary applications yourself, but it will take a long time, and a simple uninstallation can leave residual files, unnecessary registry entries, and other unwanted things.

Fortunately, Windows 10, 11 has a Microsoft Fresh Start tool that removes all apps and software not built into Windows 10, 11 by installing a fresh copy of the operating system.

If you decide to run this tool, first make sure you have the necessary files to reinstall important programs. Also, keep in mind that the Windows OS settings will be restored to their default values (you can charge while using the system as you wish).

It is recommended to launch the Fresh Start program on a new computer immediately after purchasing a computer, so it will be easier and more convenient to rid the computer of unwanted programs.

Open Fresh Start

To open this tool in Windows 10, 11, click the Start button and select the Settings app. Next, click on Update & Security, click on Windows Security, and finally open Device Performance and Health.

After that, go to the "new start" and click the link "Additional Information" - and the next screen will indicate which files will be deleted after you run the tool. If everything suits you, click the "Start" button and wait for the process to complete.

Use Fresh Start

As stated above, you will be able to see which applications will be removed while using the Microsoft Fresh Start tool. This way, you will know in advance which programs will need to be reinstalled after the process is complete. After that, the tool downloads and installs Windows 10, 11 from scratch - this process will take a long time, so you can rest and have a cup of coffee.
