How to Factory Reset Your ASUS VivoBook Go Laptop

Preparing for the Reset

• 🔌 Always plug in the charging cable to your ASUS VivoBook Go before starting the factory reset process to ensure safety and prevent interruptions.

Accessing Reset Options

• ⚙️ Navigate to Settings from the Start menu, then select System, and scroll down to the Recovery section.
• 💻 Click on Reset this PC to begin the restoration process.

Choosing Your Reset Method

• 📂 You have two primary options: Keep my files (removes apps and settings but keeps personal data) or Remove everything (deletes all data for a complete reset).
• ☁️ Cloud download reinstalls Windows from the internet, offering a fresh copy but taking longer than a local reinstall.
• 💾 Local reinstall uses existing files on the device to restore Windows.

Advanced Reset Settings

• 🗑️ Within 'Additional settings,' you can choose to just remove files (quicker, less secure) or clean the drive completely (makes files unrecoverable, ideal for selling).
• ✅ Confirm your chosen settings and proceed to the next step.

Completing the Reset

• ⏳ Click Reset and allow the process to complete, which may take a significant amount of time. Ensure the laptop remains plugged in throughout.
• ✨ Once finished, your ASUS VivoBook Go will be restored to its original factory settings.
