How to format a laptop windows 7 without cd

My laptop runs very slow I want to just give back it to how it was when I bought it

New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

This is how the recovery partition is accessible to 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 LG, 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.

For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  • How to format my laptop Hp DV6

    Hello

    Can you please tell me how to format my laptop Hp Pavilion Dv6 I have Windows 7 on it. I also see a partition recovery on my computer option.

    My system has a root virus inside. Whenever I Boot scan my computer I see a lot of viruses. I tried to remove it too anti-malware and spyware. But I can't get rid of it. Using spyware last week, I lost all the files in my system. Then I had to use recovery software to recover all my data. My friend suggested me to format my computer. Will it be useful?

    Please guide me...

    Formatting the hard drive of your laptop is not a good idea. Ask your friend if he intends giving you a real legal DVD of installation of the operating system on your laptop.

    Please identify your laptop / pc with more than the number of series. Look at the basic/back/side of the pc/laptop to the sticker with barcode. Post numbered items 1 and 2 on the next image.

    Display the version of the operating system installed (and either 32 or 64-bit)

    Are you able to still use the internet?

    What are you using to scan your laptop computer for viruses, etc.?

    Best regards

  • How to format c drive Windows XP Pro? I'm trying to downgrade to Windows XP Home Edition OEM CD. Request CD will not allow.

    Hello

    I have a PC with XP Pro, which I think is not a legitimate copy of the operating system.  So, I am trying to install an original OEM OS from Windows XP Home ed. Paraphasing error message: "Cannot go back," I want to start by reformatting the c drive.  However, I don't know how to do so on Windows and in the 'Run' dialog screen.  I tried to start the configuration of the screen (F8 on reboot) but the CD player says "disabled", and I can't seem to activate.  Any help that works will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
    PS: this is my first time using this forum, so I hope I can find the answer if someone answers

    I think xp reformatted drive what ever you choose to install on. A good work-around: do you do a fdisk. Set your bios to boot from floppy. Go to the directory and use the format command. That it will scan.

  • How can I re - install Windows Vista without the media?

    machine will not start in vista

    I have a gateway W34DUA with windows vista it will not load vista how do you get the thing to reinstall without a disk I'm thinking it was pre loaded

    or can I get a disc and use the product key from the back and reinstall?

    Hello

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    "Full factory recovery"

    http://support.gateway.com/s/software/Microsof/Vista/7515418/7515418su531.shtml

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • HP PAVILION NOTEBOOK G6 - HOW TO FORMAT DISKS IN WINDOWS 8 OEM ONLY ONE LANGUAGE

    I have HP Pavilion laptop g6 with windows 8 is installed. Recently, I lost my data.

    Now, I want to create more than two disks to protect my data, so that if something happens, I have to format the C drive only and my other readers data remains secure.

    Help, please.

    Rajeev

    Hi rajeev11,

    If only Windows is corrupt, then yes the created reader will be safe. However if the hard disk itself is corrupted then the created reader would not be safe.

    Windows 8 is a way to backup all your data, your programs, your files and your current configurations. It's called a System Image and if you back up to a CD you can keep a safe place in case of crash. A System Image is essentially a copy of your current configuration. This link will show you how to create one. The first part is a little history and context, but it gets to the part of the Image of the system shortly after.

    Thank you

    In all likelihood, you have installed the wrong version of Windows that matches the key that was originally installed on your system.  Certainly he was not Pro but probably standard, Windows 8.1

    If you are unable to install with the appropriate key, you will need to order recovery disks.  If you live in the USA/Canada, call HP at this number 1-800-334-5144 and see if you can still get a set of recovery disks.  Otherwise the site around the world:
