See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

• If I reset my laptop to factory settings it will wipe windows also?

  I have a new hp laptop (for me), I want to erase all the stuff, news, programs and diverse, that the previous owner has on it. What is the safest way to do this? If I put the laptop to factory settings this will also wipe away windows and other programs with it?

  Yes, without the disc. It has a separate recovery designed for this partition. You should have no problem... It will fill, and then do the initial Setup Wizard, so you can set your laptop to your personal settings.

• I took the SIM card of my 5s and put it in my 6 s and used an iTunes backup. If I have my 5 s factory reset it will do the same to my 6s?

  So I got an iPhone 5S for about two years. I wanted to update so I got the iPhone 6s for Christmas. The Christmas day, after two hours of poor internet connection, have to update iTunes and having my iCloud backups do not work because they were on iOS 9.2 and iPhone 6s, I am on iOS 9.1, I started the 6s upward as new and updated updated to iOS 9.2. * After that, I took my nano off the old 5s iPhone sim card and put it in the iPhone 6 s, then I used the iTunes backup.*

  After all this was done I was enjoying the hell out of my new phone and all its features fantasies and what not. But I had a thought, now that I got a new phone I could use my old 5s as more than a games/iPod phone.

  So my question is this:

  If I factory reset my iPhone 5 s and wipe your own will, which are the same in my iPhone 6 s even though they are both still connected? (what I mean is, for example, if I changed/added a note to my 6 sec it would seem on my 5 institutions). My concern is that I always use the same sim card that was in my iPhone 5 s. I do not want to reset the 5 s and then have it do the same thing on my new 6 s.

  Or can I go to manage the devices on my Apple ID and take the 5 s out of it, then factory reset 5s.

  No, the deletion of your old phone will have no effect on your new phone.

• Vista upgrade to windows 7 does not and could not roll back to vista

  I bought a retail pack for the Windows 7 upgrade. I tried to install it yesterday evening - took to always (more than 4 hours) and froze in several places for more than an hour. At the last second stage (installation of windows features) - he crashed and closed. Reboot, it says "set to level failed - rolling to the previous operating system". After about 1/2 hour of rolling back - it crashed again - blue screen "STOP: c000021a.» System fatal error. Process of initial session or the processes of the system ended unexpectedly with an error code of 0 x 000000000 (0xc00000001 0x0010037c). system was stopped.

  the laptop (a Dell Studio 1555) cannot be started and is not an operating system. A terrible catastrophe for what seemed like a simple upgrade. I followed all the instructions in the Windows tutorial "upgrade Windows vista to windows 7 ', no warning that I should set out a clean boot which I've since found in blogs. I'm mad at Microsoft for releasing a product that will destroy my system when you follow their instructions.

  I obviously need to re - install an OS - my question is... I have an other laptop Dell Studio 1555 which came with windows 7 and I have the installation disc. Can I use this disc to do a fresh install on this laptop and use the product key that came with Windows 7 upgrade disc?

  Otherwise, it will be a long and difficult process of re - install Vista, upgrade to SP1 and upgrade to Windows 7, and then potentially have fail again. Please notify.

• Satellite L750 - Windows 10 - can I roll back to Windows 7?

  I upgraded to 10 Windows in Windows 7, but I lost the wireless driver and cannot download it from anywhere (unless you know better). Also, I lost Internet Explorer. When I tried to download the system I have an updated copy even though God knows where he is.

  My question is - can I roll back to Windows 7, which I was pretty happy?

  As much as I know L750 is not supported for Win10 so I think that the best option for you is to go back to Win7.
  After several problems with Win10, I did the same thing and I am happy now using original Win7.

• upgrade windows 7 to windows 8, can I roll back to windows 7 using windows recovery discs 7?

  I updated my windows 7 Home premium 64-bit for windows 8 pro. Now, if I want my Windows 7 can return I use my drives recovery or what other options can choose?

  If you have important data on the drive, make sure that it is supported first.

  If you have used all the excerpts of release exclusively for a period of time, you're likely to have accumulated data on the disk where the preview is installed. Depending on the version of Windows you're dual-boot, you will have to do a manual backup to keep these data. Tools such as an external hard drive are recommended in this scenario. If you run Windows XP, Vista, I recommend you copy all personal files to an external hard drive. The process is simple:

  In Windows 8, start File Explorer

  

  Highlight all folders in your personal folder

  

  Click on copy on the Ribbon (Home tab)

  Make sure that your external hard drive is switched on and plugged in, then go to your external hard drive, then click on paste on the Ribbon (Home tab)

  

  Insert your recovery disk, if its more than one disk, insert disk marked disc 1.

  Boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen to do a reinstall.

• XPS 14 - Factory Reset - win 8

  Hello

  I have a ultrabook of Windows 8 XPS 14 (L421X) - who doesn't have a CD/DVD optical drive.

  I have the restore disc (CD/DVD) that accompanies it. F2 / F12 does not give me an option of repair (only of the bios, diagnostics etc.).

  I want the system factory reset - how I can do it.

  Thank you

  Hi siftekhar,

  Would like to know the issue you are experiencing. I can help you to solve it without the restore options. However, if you still want to do a factory restore you will find these useful steps.

  It seems that you are not able to boot into the operating system. In this case, you can try to crash your system 3 to 4 times to access the Advanced Recovery Options. For crashing Windows 8 system, you can turn off the system while it is trying to load the Windows operating system (i.e. Dell logo during the indirect approach of the points appear) by pressing and holding the power button down until the computer powers.

  However, if you are able to boot into the operating system, you can follow the steps below to return the laptop to factory settings i.e. on day one when you bought the laptop using Dell backup and restore.

  Note: This step leads to complete data loss if you select the option to delete files in step 10

  Dell Backup and Recovery can recover the operating system or the backup of the recovery partition. To recover the operating system from the recovery partition, follow these steps:

  1. Plug the power adapter.
  2. Turn on the laptop.
  3. Click on the button power on the low side to the right of the screen.
  4. Press in and hold the SHIFT key on the keyboard and then click restart in the options provided.
  5. Click troubleshoot from the options on the screen after a reboot.

     

  6. Click the Dell backup and restore .

     

  7. The system restarts and returns to the top, click Next in the screen Dell backup and recovery.

     

  8. The system would be checked to see if the chip repair option can solve the problem, click Next once this is done.

     

  9. We will ask to select the backup to use, click the picture factory option or select one of the backups. Click Next.

     

  10. You will be asked to save your files, if required to do so by selecting the option Yes, save my personal files (Make sure to have a backup external hard drive very practice.) or select No, erase my files.

      

  11. The system goes ahead and ends at the restoration of the operating system. Click restart when you are prompted.

      

  12. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the system with windows.

  If the options above, done does not work, you may need to install the windows 8 manually using the recovery discs using an external USB optical drive.

  I hope this helps. Answer please if you have any other questions.

  Hi kfox79,

  1. What is the problem with the CD drive on the computer?

  2. you receive an error message when you insert the disc?

  Do a factory reset, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer for more information that this can be done using the partition recovery or recovery disk.

  Windows complete PC Backup creates abackup image, which contains copies of your programs, files and system settings. The backup image is then stored in a separate location from the original programs, settings, and files. You can use this backup image to restore the contents of your computer if your hard disk or an entire computer ever stops working. You must create a new Windows complete PC backup image every six months.

  Back up your programs, files and system settings
