| 1481990 | 2021-11-11 22:03:00 | Help needed to remove ESET Smart Security Premium Trial Tried via IOBIT Uninstaller said it had removed it but upon restart it was still partially there. Tried ESET removal software but that could not find , said no software found. Tried using tool in safe mode - not found. Tried to delete in safe mode - not allowed. Does anyone know how to remove this from my laptop? Also since my laptop has moved to Windows 11 if I remove the previous Windows system (Win 10) will that effect my restore which was Windows 10? :help: |

| 1481991 | 2021-11-12 00:15:00 | Try Revo Uninstaller. It seems to get rid of everything | paulw (1826) | ||
| 1481992 | 2021-11-12 00:46:00 | Thanks for your reply. I did a restore via macrium and did another uninstall. Worked. | ruup (1827) | ||
| 1481993 | 2021-11-12 00:49:00 | When I do a windows clean up I have an option to delete the previous windows (Win 10). If I chose this option does my laptop lose it's recovery partition? | ruup (1827) | ||
| 1481994 | 2021-11-12 01:23:00 | When I do a windows clean up I have an option to delete the previous windows (Win 10). If I chose this option does my laptop lose it's recovery partition? it wont remove an actual recovery partition but it WILL remove the option to roll back to a previous version. Which by the way will try to delete automatically after 10 days, if it doesn't do it for some reason it will disappear after 30 days. | wainuitech (129) | ||

| 1481996 | 2021-11-12 03:51:00 | Thanks wainuitech, so if I remove previous system, can I us the partition to reinstall Window 10 if something goes pear shaped?Are you are meaning the hidden recovery partiton ? That only contains a few files that allows windows to repair / recovery from an existing install, its usually only about 350MB where as a Complete Recovery partiton like that in name brand Computers will be Several GB. THEN only if the original Factory install was W10. The following article explains it a lot better www.partitionwizard.com Better option would be to make an Image of the complete drive 1st and keep it in a safe place - external Drive, then if anything turns to custard you have the original Image still. |

| 1481997 | 2021-11-12 04:00:00 | The computer is a Dell Inspiron 17 5000 Series. Original came with Windows 10. I have in the past used a reset which would reinstall Windows 10. So now that it has updated to Windows 11, what happens if I chose to do a reset, will it go back to the Factory original? or to a refresh of Windows 11? | ruup (1827) | ||

BUT as mentioned before a actual Image of what's there now will be safer. There have been reports that once the OS upgrades it can destroy the original Factory recovery. Personally I wont use any factory recovery - its ALWAYS out of date, often by years and often contains all sorts of junk you have to weed out. |
