Hi
Im trying to reset the unit but pressing F9 on the keyboard does nothing. I tried various options but no success.
What am I missing?
 
Have you tried press and hold F9 then power on the device?
Yes I did. I tried all kinds of combinations such as pressing F9 before I press the power ON, a second after I press the power ON, multiple presses on the F9 while it is being turned on, but nothing seems to work.
I could however enter the BIOS by pressing F11. I did that just to make I can use these keys. But not the F9.
 
I found that if you start up the PC and with Windows up and running as usual, you can then type in (at bottom left search box) reset PC, the option screen pops up and you can proceed to reset the PC n the manner you wish.
 
Depending on your setup and installed version of Windows, you have a few different ways to Windows 10 reset a laptop or desktop

First: Make Sure You Back Up
1. The Built-In Reset Option on Windows 10
2. Use the “Fresh Start” Option in Windows 10
3. Reinstall Using Windows Installation Media
4. Advanced Factory Reset Options
 
I keep getting the error that there isn't enough space on the drive. Free some space first. What do I do?

This isn’t the problem! The problem is that the Minix NEO Z83-4 Plus V2 does not go pass the BIOS boot process. What is stopping it from reading the BIOS?
