How to reset my HP G60 to factory settings?

Originally a Vista laptop. Got a free upgrade to Win7. Update went perfectly.

3 days ago (Mar 1,2012) I installed Windows 8 Preview of consumer. He ruined my laptop. The only way to restore this

upgrade is a full recovery.

Tips on how to reset to original settings?

Most important: Resetting back to Vista?

Thanks for the tips. Any help is appreciated.

Hello

Do you still have the original recovery partition? If so, using F11 at startup time, follow the instructions on the screen. This will return you to Vista , you can then use the free Windows 7 DVD to upgrade Vista to Windows 7.

Please check your free DVD of Windows 7 is also a DVD upgrade or installation clean (I have to get back to Vista on my machine).

Kind regards.

    HOW CAN I RESET MY LAPTOP BACK TO FACTORY SETTINGS

    Hello

    Judgment of the laptop.  Start typing away at f11 as soon as you press the power button to start the Recovery Manager that you can then use to reinstall the operating system.

    Alternatively, if you have created a set of recovery disks, insert the first disc and restart the computer to start the process.

    Either way is fine.

    I want to reset my computer to factory settings, wiping it completely clean., I downloaded vista service pack 2 when it came out, so I do not have the disc. I have the original disc, but it says I need service Pack2, how do I restore the factory settings without the disc it asks? I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with service pack 2 downloaded.

    Hello

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    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.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    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)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    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.
