I'm guessing you mean using "Reset my PC". IIRC, that features has 2 options for a reset-install.a. A normal (quick) erase/formatb. A thorough deep/long/secure erase Which one did you pick? If secure-erase is important to you ... personally, I would just Nuke-and-Pave it (and delete all the existing partitions first).  [URL]#M92571 Additionally . It's the same when you format a 2tb disc in Windows. Quick is quick, Non-quick takes a long-time as it is a 2tb disc (and spinning-platter HDDs are inherently slow anyway).
Hello,  I have a Dell XPS 8700 and I am doing a clean data option, via Windows 10 reset feature.  I have a 2 TB SATA hard  and the process is taking 12 hours but it is still not done.  The screen says "Resetting this PC 1%"  and it has been like for about 10 hours now.  Should I keep waiting? I am in no rush, so I can wait, but wondering after 24 or even 48 if there is something gone wrong.    [IMAGE]
