Of topic/resetmypc/Could a moderator delete this topic?

I have the windows insider version 1903 and I want to roll back to version 1809. A Microsoft tech person told me I need to reset my PC. I’m planning on doing that but I need to know if I will need a password for windows.

Why were my other posts deleted?

Because they were pointless, if you want help then learn to be patient.

I would say most people are fed up with the “no I won’t yes I will” attitude you continually display, constant editing of posts are annoying to say the least and having to listen to whatever your latest stuff up being is getting monotonous.

Did you use a windows log in password? if not, [b]NO[/b]

If you bother to search the net there is plenty how to do info

Your forum posting is mostly a constant fiddling with stuff you have no idea how working that always give you trouble and that always need to be reverted … do you ever learn?

@Pondus,

If you knew how old I am you might know why I don’t understand a lot of things

The topic will not be deleted so stop requesting it, two recent topics you’ve done the same in including the continued editing of your posts which you’ve once received a temporary ban for in the past because of this disruption.

That is exactly the point, when you dont understand keep your fingers away and you would have a problem free working computer.

And we know you are a grandma

Learning how to use the search function is possibly the one of the most important things you can do. Pondus found a good one at windowscentral aside from showing how to opt out if the insider program there is mention of how to rollback after the May 2019 Update. That may have been a better way to go about this in the first instance.

Search terms should ideally be brief containing keywords relating to the problem and what you want to do. Windows 10 1903 insider how to rollback to previous version. https://www.google.com/search?q=Windows+10+1903+insider+how+to+rollback+to+previous+version.

Whilst this needs further optimisation, there lots of links to information that is pertinent if not the exact match.

As they say you are never too old to learn, there are quite a lot of older users helping other users in these forums.

@DavidR,

Can you answer my question?

you also said in another topic that you have 2 other computers?

So why dont you let one be untouched by your fingers and use the older one(s) for your experiments, then it want do any harm when something goes wrong and you can reinstall over and over again … thats how the experts does it :wink:

Is it the one i answered here?

@Pondus,

I’m no longer a Windows Insider.

Also, I do have 2 other win 10 computers but the man who hooked them up for me is on vacation for 3 or 4 months

Aside from not seeing a direct question other than the topic title that has been changed. Pondus gave a link that should give you an insight and it wasn’t just about option out, it also mentions “Rolling back to the previous version.”

The search link that I gave also gives varied information on Rolling back to the previous version. Whilst this one https://www.yourwindowsguide.com/2018/10/rollback-windows-10-version-1803-upgrading-version-1809.html How to Rollback Windows 10 1809 to version 1803, I can’t see this being greatly different to rolling back from Windows 10 19.03 to version 1809.

In all honesty with what you have had going on, the problems and the fix attempts carried out, it may well be that the MS support member could well be correct in you may need to do a fresh install of Windows 10.

@DavidR,

I’m afraid it would want a password for windows and if it did I couldn’t remember what it was. Now when I restart my computer, it shows Dell, then please wait, and it doesn’t ask for a password. It just shows signing in and after a few seconds it shows my desk top

Why would you need a password, should it remain the same should you use the Dell Media DVD for the system. Currently your Dell appears to be setup without the requirement of a password. They may well have recommended to set a password.

Even if you had to create a password as I did when I first got my win10 laptop, I created one using the usual strong password strategy. What If I forget, well I check the source that I made a not of it. I must have in excess of 50 or more passwords, for the most part using a password manager caters for those internet passwords. And backup, backup, backup to cater for computer issues.

So here I am on my usual song, you need a Strong Backup and Recovery Strategy (to cater for all eventualities) or if you Fail to Plan, then you Plan to Fail or if you don’t want to Lose it Back it up.

Apparently answers to her actual question also got deleted. :frowning:

Nope, there was no reply when CraigB deleted the two replys she made herselfe
