Sometimes, you just want to start fresh. Perhaps you changed a configuration somewhere and can’t figure out what it was. Maybe you just want to clean the system before passing it onto a relative. Whatever the case, it is useful to know how to perform a GPD Win 3 factory reset in the event you need to wipe things quickly.

How to Reinstall Windows on GPD Win 3

You can consider a Windows installation similar to a factory reset, but a bit more… „concrete“. By reinstalling, you can strike out the possibility that whatever issues you’re experiencing are down to some kind of corrupt initialization of the installation. Alternatively, you might have installed an alternative OS on the system but have changed your mind.

The process to install windows on the GPD Win 3 is not a difficult one, although it is a teeny bit more time consuming than a factory reset (only because you need to download some files first).
