About to sell my PC, I've been running windows 7 but can upgrade to win 10.

Once in win 10 do I simply need to use the reset function, or do I need to format and clean install?

I'm using an SSD, basically my question is does the reset function clear out the registry or not?

Thank you.
 
Solution
Stop.
Just do a full wipe and reinstall of Win 7

Let the new owner decide if he wants to go to WIn 10.

Full deletion of all partitions and reinstall the OS.
