After I got my V delivered, I made a recovery file to my portable HDD in Windows 10. I tried to install other OS(linux) to dual boot on a separate partition, but it failed several times(I tried to set up the BIOS option with legacy boot, UEFI boot, but all of them did not work). I tried to factory reset V, as this post says, but it only showed me the BIOS setup.
I used windows reset. However, after that, Windows does not perform correctly - I can not launch any programs Only after then, I found this thread, the quick guide for your new v, which advises not to reinstall Windows nor install the new OS over the current windows.
Iāve been dealing with this for two days, and just want to factory reset the machine. The support page does not show the way to factory setup. Is there any way to factory reset the machine?
Sorry for bugging you multiple times. I found the calibration file though I reset the Windows choosing deleting all the filesā¦
At the moment, I am backing up the calibration file.
@reappear, @iKirin: After messing up with partitions and resetting windows using Windows(I chose to delete all the files), Windows does not work properly(can not launch any desktop apps), and partitions still messed up. However, I do find the calibration file and any other file in the āC:\ProgramDataā
I would like to perform factory setup. Could you please let me know what I should back up before the factory setup, and how to perform the factory setup?
Unsolicited advice and the team / nor anyone is responsible for my post or suggestion but previous discussions came up about you can use a standard window 10 image off a USB and due to uefi holding the license it should work. Will it? I havenāt tried it. Others can comment if they have tried it.
I personally would wait for someone from the team to get in touch with you.
There are some smart and unique ways through which you can clean up the unwanted files and apps and make your Windows 10 PC a fresh. These methods I found on the web while searching. Letās find out that here.
Out of curiosity, was the issue you had with the āwindows resetā one where you couldnāt open any of the āmodernā apps? (i.e settings, edge, cortata, etc.)?
I have also run into that issue, but resolved it with the nuclear option of a clean install (from a USB disk, the clean install from the recovery image didnāt work either). I would back up the calibration and figure out how to load it later. One caveat with this method is the lack of published drivers, but weāre working on a solution here: https://dough.community/t/default-drivers/12389/43?u=jason_yang
Basically, install windows, download the file, figure out what drivers you need, install, and profit.
Note that there are a lot of redundant drivers, ergo the 16gB file size but weāre working to flesh this out and only find the custom drivers we need.
Eve support replied that I can reset the Windows with āpower button + volume down buttonā. I tried Windows reset with this method, but I encountered exactly same problem(I can not launch any of the desktop app). Also it does not do anything with the partition. All I wanted to do is bring eve V to the factory stateā¦
Only after then, I found this thread, the quick guide for your new v, which advises not to reinstall Windows nor install the new OS over the current windows.
