How can I get my computer back to factory settings?
my computer is slow and I want to restore it back to factory settings, so this has nothing about it except the important things, like when you get everything first... does anyone know how to do this?
Note that if you save all the important things, it will be lost after the reset.
After the reset, you should get all the updates from Windows Update EXCEPT for hardware devices. Then, you install a good antivirus. ONLY AFTER you have done this, if you replace the stuff of backups or install anything else.
Your laptop is equipped with a recovery instead of disk partition
.
This is how the recovery partition is available for the most popular brands
For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device
For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
You may need to try several times to get everything above to work. If after several attempts, you have no chance, or the machine indicates that there is no recovery partition, your only option is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask for the model recovery discs...

How can I configure my laptop back to factory settings?
I'm really sick of my 2008 Dell Inspiron being so slow, whenever I play minecraft... It is not intended to be a portable game, but that's all I have. I want to know how to put my computer laptop back to factory settings, like when you start it for the first time, straight out of the box. In addition, I did not drive when I bought over 5 years ago, do not judge me. Help please!
Hello Andy.L.C
No one will judge you.
Your PC must have a hidden partition which contains an image of the Windows operating system.
Take a look at this link (especially step 3 "restore the software from the computer to the original state")
I hope this will help you restore your PC to factory conditions.

How can I keep my computer back to 'place' after that I put it manually using 'list '. There must be a master setting, but I was not able to understand it yet. I have to do this every time I open a file.
I checked "remember to display each file settings" under "Tools - Folder Options," but it does no good.
* original title - cannot set the defaults.* view
Hey, Wesley!
I tried some time ago, and it will do no good. I returned periodically to ensure that it was not unchecked, but he didn't.
Someone posted a response that a registry key has been corrupted and offered instructions on how to fix it. I ran utility troubleshooting, but that has not helped and was about to try to change the registry, but the message seems to have disappeared.
I tried to reinstall Windows on Windows, but the installation stalled after starting the system successfully. He must have done something right, because each window remains now as I put it, so my problem seems to have disappeared.
Thanks for your interest. If someone asked me, I would recommend refreshing Windows to solve the problem.
Best,
Bob

You will need to go on the manufacturer of your pc and then ask for a windows xp disk and drivers. This will give you a new copy, but not out of the box state. For an out of the box, get a recovery disk. Just answer what you want.

Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.
Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...
Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.
Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
