Factory Reset Windows 11
There are multiple ways to reinstall Windows on your PC. We have covered three different methods so that even if your PC is not booting up, you can factory reset your Windows 11 machine using this tutorial. The first method requires your PC to be bootable, while the other two need to be performed from outside the Windows.

Note: If you’ve encrypted your device, you’ll need the BitLocker key to reset your Windows PC. Things to try: Log in automatically into Windows 11 without entering Username and Password
Factory Reset Windows 11 from Recovery (for Non-bootable PCs)
If your PC has stopped booting, you need to reset Windows 11 from Windows Recovery. The recovery screen appears by itself if it detects that Windows 11 cannot boot up. If that doesn’t happen, you can manually get into the Recovery mode of Windows 11. The simplest method for doing that is to power off your PC/Laptop, turn it on, and turn it off again when you see the Windows logo. Do it twice or thrice, and Windows will show the ‘Automatic Repair‘ screen.
Install Fresh Copy of Windows using USB Drive
If you cannot use any of the methods mentioned above, there is no need to worry. A third option is to use a bootable USB drive to reset the PC and install a fresh copy of Windows 11. You can download windows 11 ISO yourself. Using a tool like Rufus, flash the Windows image on a USB drive and make it bootable. Once everything is in place, restart your PC/laptop and boot the USB drive using the boot menu. From there, follow the on-screen instructions, and within some time, your PC will be as good as new.
