Does doing a factory reset on a 2 day old computer slow it down?

Tags: Operating Systems

I got a new computer a few days ago, It uses windows 10 and I set it up but I watched a video on setting it up after, the tech guy showed he used certain settings for privacy during the initial setup and I just clicked random settings not really knowing what I was doing. If I reset the computer and just start over could it slow it down at all? I know on a computer with alot of files resetting it would speed it up, but what about doing it on a brand new computer? Thanks

Unless you took a lot of the Crap Ware that comes with a new system out

No it will make no difference.

If you removed a lot of the Crap Ware that it came with then yes by resetting it it will slow down till that unnecessary junk is removed.

Why factory reset?

No, First there is no need for factory reset for new PC.

Second, if you are doing this then it won’t affect your System

Why are you resetting your PC?

Why does one need to reset their two-day old PC? Did you download a trojan/ malware/ spyware within the first two days of use? If so, then there is a good chance you might experience some post-reset blues.
