Hi everyone,
I am trying to reset my HP Computer in order to sell it, when doing so I keep getting the error message “unable to reset PC.” I’ve tried clearing out my files and a few other things anyone know how I can factory reset it without getting this message?
Thanks!

Hi:
See if your PC is supported by the HP cloud recovery tool which you can use to create a bootable USB recovery drive that will reinstall W10, the drivers and the software that originally came with your PC.
Here is an info link for how to use that utility. You will need a 32 GB USB flash drive to create the recovery media with.
