How Can i Manually Factory Reset a Windows 10 Tablet Through A pc

Hi There, I am Trying To Factory Reset My Very old Windows 10 Tablet, But it always fails, it usually fails at the first restart after the prep when it fails it Show "Recovery" and it tells me to use a media Installation Tool on another computer, BUT if i restart it the error does not show. So Is there a ways to Factory Reset my Old Windows tablet Through Another Computer! Thank You For Reading

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

If the Windows reset is failing continually then the recovery image is corrupt, the best option would be to create a bootable USB on your other device and use that to clean install Windows 10 on the tablet, that will also create a new recovery image.

Sorry, I was offline.

When you boot from the USB, then delete all partitions on the drive and start the installation, please provide more information on where the installation fails, how far into the installation does it get and what is the error message?

If the device is only 4 - 5 years old, then the installation of the latest version of Windows 10 should succeed, try recreating a new Windows USB on another USB flash drive to test if that is successful.
