I can't reset Windows 10. I want to remove all my files, but when I try, it says:

"Recovery

Your PC/Device needs to be repaired

There isn't enough memory available to create a ramdisk device.

Error code: 0xc0000017

You'll need to use recovery tools. If you don't have any installation media (like a disc or USB device), contact your PC administrator or manufacturer. "

I definitely have enough RAM (8 gigs), so what gives? I really don't want to mess things up more than I apparently have. It's an HP Envy m4 laptop with an Intel i7 at 2.20 ghz. Any help is much appreciated.

I have encountered that issue and the following steps fixed it.
Boot your computer into Windows.
Right click the Start button and select Command Prompt (Admin).
Type: bcdedit /enum all and press Enter.
A list of the memory locations marked 'bad' by the OS is displayed. But they could be reset.
Type: bcdedit /deletevalue {badmemory} badmemorylist and hit Enter
Close the Command Prompt window and reboot.
You can proceed with the Windows 10 reset or setup.

So your solution didn't work, but I'm sure it would work on other cases. I updated my computer though, and somehow that did the trick. Thanks for your help!
