Factory reset on laptop Windows 8.

My laptop is an Acer V3-571 with windows 8, it would not download Windows updates so I decided to do a factory reset via Acer Recovery Management.I started 3 hours ago and it is only 38%. Is it normal to take as long as that?

I'll assume that the "complete wipe of the drive" took several hours at the end, but the process of recovery completed successfully?

    You can use the recovery of a DVD on the 3.

    You may be able to run W10 on them.

    After installing all updates of W7 (SP1 and others), if your PC can run W10, you should get a booking W10 icon.

    See this link for more information.

    My HP elitebook 6930p who basically has the same hardware as you ran W8.1 very well.

    He also ran the first 2 preview W10 relies very well.

    All versions since that time, the ricoh cardbus controller then gives an error code 12 (resources).

    I reported this bug to MS and I noticed there were other models HP affected as the 8440p.

    So, unless this bug is corrected and that your machine has the same Ricoh card reader mine, you can probably count on getting the same error.

  • HP ENVY m6-1125dx: Beats Audio In/Out-put pilot missing AFTER Factory Reset/OfficeProgram reinstalling Windows

    Hello

    So about three months ago I had a problem with my HP mouse and browser. both were glitching on screen and does not allow me to type consistently or right-click (to copy, paste, etc.). After seeking help from technology College friends, HP reps (which were not useful since my ch isn't under warranty anymore) and work friends, no one would understand it. I decided to make a setting reset according to which did not help. Then, a factory reset. Finally, it fixed my problem, yay no glitching more! So I contacted Microsoft to reinstall my Microsoft Office. After I have reset a computer and everything was in order, I hung up with them. By attempting to play a video a few moments later, I noticed that my volume is not working. I tried through the Troubleshooting Device Manager (replied 'No audio device found'), by lifting missing audio drivers via the HP Web site (found nothing) and call Microsoft to see what they could do since HP reps no help. So far, no progress is possible except that Microsoft has discovered that he is no longer an audio in/out located on my device. This is absurd! My laptop was purchased 2 years ago for around $500 with award-winning special Beats Audio Sound System. I want to come back. I was forced to resolve the previous question myself and I wa slucky enough to find a way. But now, I am presented with an audio problem I'm afraid that I can't solve in my favor.

    If someone who comes through my investigation has informed business and education with a solution to the please my problem do not hesitate to contact me with your advice and your credentials. I'm willing to try anything at this point, but of course not at the expense of my computer. Experienced responses welcome!

    I hope someone can help me. Manager Microsoft is kind enough and plans to call me again today at 15:00. But, I really don't think there is anything else on our end that we can do. It's all HP to reinstall the audio driver Beats for me once again.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I do not work for a hardware or software company. Since your machine drivers support site, available for Windows 10, only the drivers that came with your machine (for Windows 8). Driver for Windows 8 above should work as ask you 'pilot missing AFTER factoryreset/windows.

    Kind regards.

  • Factory reset on laptop

    I want to reset my laptop to factory settings, but first of all, I want to know how not to remove my Microsoft Office license, because I used the last of them, and I'd rather not buy more. And also how to create a kind of discs of recovery or system recovery for all my photos, music and documents, with out having a CD player that works (reads all discs and wants to format them?) and that I could also use to share these files when we have a new computer in the next 3 months.

    I have an Acer Aspire 5315 with Vista

    Please let me know if you need more info to answer my 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

  • How to factory reset or reinstall windows on HP Jet 7?

    Tried to get in touch with HP customer care by phone several times, but I'm never here during the opening hours.

    When I got my tablet, the following occurs:

    I turn it on, and at the end of 5 or 10 seconds of the HP logo it will go black again. I can access BIOS menus, this isn't a charging problem (although the only time where I've been on the live chat with HP they said it was... it was obviously power)

    When I went into the menu of the BIOS (Power + volume down) and you press the system recovery option, he would do the same thing (logo of hp for 5 or more seconds then go black)

    What I tried to do:

    -The system diagnostic tests; they all say that the tablet itself is OK. This leads me to believe that I need to reinstall windows somehow.

    -Rewrite of the BIOS (the volume + volume down + power); It will rewrite the BIOS, but the same problem will occur.

    -Trunk network; same problem once more.

    Accordingly, I am looking for a way of properly factory reset my tablet or reinstall windows on my tablet. I really need for College it is therefore essential that I can solve this problem.

    Hi, I had this problem and others here did also.  The fix for me ran the battery all the way down so that the CMOS to reset.  One of the threads detailing this difficulty is here.  Once you get the tablet to the top, you can update for the last EFI firmware and that should hopefully prevent it from happening again.

  • Factory reset loading failed Windows 7

    I have tried factory reset my netbook, but I get a window saying "Windows must reset" I have reset it. Then he goes back to the implementation of services of another window pops up saying "Windows encounter a problem" whenever I turn on my netbook. I need help

    I'm sorry. If you can not complete erecovery via the Alt + F10 boot process, you have two options. The first and far the easiest if your time is worth anything whatsoever, is to buy a recovery stick Acer here http://store.acer.com/store/aceramer/en_US/eRecovery I'm not sure of the cost, but should not be too.

    The second is free, but a lot of time. You can download and change a Win7 32-bit image that can be put on a bootstick using the Microsoft USB - DVD tool - but the process is a bit complicated for Windows iso starter as you'll see here http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_install/where-can-i-download-the-... In addition, you will probably need to download Acer drivers specific to the d257 to make it work properly again. And finally, Microsoft must activate the operating system via the serial numbers on the bottom of the netbook - not hard to do, but an additional complication, however.

    Sorry the process erecovery outside of Windows doesn't seem to work for you.

  • Factory reset for Windows 7 will restore my BIOS too to its original state when I bought it?

    I now use Windows 8, I bought my laptop in JULY 2012. It came with Windows Home Premium and I have the recovery disc for Windows 7. I intend to factory reset my laptop because of my disappointment with Windows 8 and supprt for Windows 8.

    I want to know if the "factory Reset" will restore the BIOS of the laptop in its original state. I mean I have my BIOS set to update to the latest. I want to return to its former State. How long is the factory reset also takes? I own edition HP DV6T Quad 7000 with 32 GB WSSD.

    Intel RST does not have anything, my HARD drive is shown in non-RAID and there is no way I can change it to RAID. My last option is to try the Factory Reset and see if it helps. I'm sure that TSRI will work if my BIOS is restored to the original condition with everything so it starts to detect my HDD in RAID.

    Hello

    A factory image recovery will not affect the version of BIOS or current settings. The duration during which the factory image recovery takes wil depend on what type of recovery media that you have. If you have a usb recovery media that it will probably wait maybe thiry minutes. Use you a recovery value disk while recovery might take a few hours to complete.

    Once you start the recovery not to touch the keyboard.

    Make sure that the wireless is turned on before commit you to the recovery.

  • Windows 8 stuck while resetting my laptop

    I tried to reset my laptop (windows 8.1 for windows 8) but it stuck at 5% for 30 minutes. I pushed the on/off switch and forced to close. When I rebooted my laptop it does not continue the reset process. It says "Prepare the automatic repair", but it does not at all. A blue screen pop up. It is said that "restart your PC on a problem and needs. We collect some error information, and then we'll restart it for you". It does not restart, but this process continues forever. Help, please!

    This can take several hours to complete the reset, but given that you pressed the power button the installation is not corrupted. You will need to use your repair CD or USB key to fix the computer.  If you do not have one, you can create one by using this: creating installation media for Windows 8

  • Have I not correct recovery DVD for a factory reset?

    Hello

    My laptop is a ProBook s 4540

    When I bought it, it came with 4 DVDs:

    • Application and Driver Recovery DVD (windows 7)
    • Operating system DVD Windows 7 Professional SP1
    • Application and Driver Recovery DVD (windows 8)
    • Operating system Windows 8 Pro DVD

    At some point I want to Factory Reset my laptop and I wonder if this dvd is to do it since I do not have the recovery with the recovery discs manager.

    Have I not correct recovery DVD for a factory reset?

    Hello

    Even better. Factory reset will bring more information, including the bloatware. Two sets of DVD (for Windows 7 and Windows 8) are the BEST companions. You will get your machine under control and you can download other software also under control.

    We all love having two RST for each operating system.

    Could someone please help in a process that could help tracking? My Lenovo laptop running Windows 8 had been trying to run a factory reset and, unfortunately, while left unattended, my younger brother accidentally shot the cables, resulting in my now... current portable computer damaged screen. I left my laptop Lenovo intact and charged through my diet (Yes, I removed safely the internal battery) for more than 24 hours in his supposed factory reset process. I'm unable to view the entire screen and reading a part of the legend that led to believe me that my laptop is in a phase of repair? My current attempt must connect an external monitor to my Lenovo laptop and the caption "D - SUB POWER SAVING MODE" APPEARS. There may be ways to substitute this mode or could someone help please I can find myself having a restless night without solving my unfortunate situation.
