    Depends on how paranoid you are, and if your computer is equipped with a provided by the manufacturer "restore hidden partition."

    When a computer manufacturer sells you a computer with Windows preinstalled, part of the Microsoft license agreement requires that it provides a way to reinstall the operating system.  In the old days, you will get a physical media (CD or floppy disks even), but for a number of years, manufacturers have been rather including hidden software on the disk hard drive that by operating, restores the computer to the way it was when it left the factory.

    How this restoration software is started depends on the brand and model of your computer.  See your user's Guide, go to the website of the manufacturer of the computer or identify the make and model in a response here.

    Running these software in general should replace anything currently on the hard disk, including your personal information.

    For more security, before running the software 'restore', you can delete any personal data that you know (there are still a few traces in the Windows registry and other locations of the system), and then run a utility that wipes free space and soft space on the disk.  See http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-secure-erase-utility.htm

    If you have a Windows installation CD to give to the buyer - or if you do not care to sell a computer without an operating system - download Darik Boot and Nuke (DBAN).  This utility will erase safely any hard drive, including the operating system.

    The extremely paranoid, including some administrations in three letters, remove hard disks and either keep for reuse or physically destroy them (by cutting, drilling, or fusion).

  • Advantages and disadvantages need to restore my computer to its factory settings

    HP Pavillion Model a4310f with AMD Athlon II X 2 250 clocked (3 GHz) Win 7 64 bit Home Premium with 4 GB of RAM.  My C: Drive has free 495 GB of 585 GB.  I have a boot disk more system recovery DVDs all created when the system has been started.  I use Trend Micro Internet Security virus and spyware protection.

    Why restore?  Overall, the answer is wrong.  Installed programs take 15-20 seconds to start.  The Internet response is all too slow.  No significant improvement if I stop of Trend Micro.  I see more thumbnails of photos - just file names.  For always takes to spool a file to the printer (HP Deskjet F4280 all-in-One) and half the time the printer will not align when new cartridges are installed. I don't think I have too many installed programs, but there are a few that I would Setup not again.

    I had my Internet provider out there and everything checks out there - they deliver what I pay for (20 Mbit/s download and 1.30 MB/s upload).

    I better leave all as is or go back and re - install only the programs that I use regularly?

    Mitch

    Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion a4310f. According to the specifications, the computer is more than three years old. As time passes, a Windows installation can get cluttered with a messy registry, fragmented system of orphan files and folders/files.

    In my opinion, these elements can cause the problems you are experiencing. The pros to recover the computer to a factory State, is that the performance must be returned to love the day you set up your computer. The disadvantages include having to re-install your programs, many drivers and software updates, who need back up and restore your files and personal data, etc.. Once again, in my opinion, it would be worth the effort to recover the computer to a factory State. This should cure most, if not all of your problems.

  • How to restore my computer hp 620 laptop

    Hello! Will you please help me with options on how to restore my computer laptop hp 620 with windows 7. Its screen is broken, so I use an external monitor that does not display the setting procedure

    Luckies Hello,

    You may be able to switch monitors by holding the fn key and tapping on the F4 key at the beginning.

    The part that I don't know is if she will go outside without having first cut the broken screen.

    Some computers laptops will and some used. If you need to disconnect the screen first, you may not use the combo fn.

    Page 156 shows the disassembly of the screen in the manual.  emr_na-c02780494 - 1.pdf

    Also to access Recovery Mode, you press the ESC key to get an options screen, and then press F11. But I think you would need to first try the combo fn.

    Let me know how it goes.

  • restored my Dell computer to its factory settings, but my backup files will not restore

    original title: restoration of PC for windows XP

    Used "files and Settings Transfer wizzard" to restore my Dell computer to its factory settings.

    I saved my files to an external hard drive.

    Restoring to factory settings worked fine however not recover my files backed up.

    A message is displayed (the location you specified contains no stored information)

    I can see the USMT2 file. UNC on my external hard drive and it's big enough.

    Need help to restore my files.

    Hi GeorgeGould,

    If it helps, try the step below and check out them.

    (a) access to the following location: C:\WINDOWS\system32 and copy the USMT folder (and all what it) to the location you saved the USMT2. The UNC file.

    (b) now when you run the files and the Transfer Wizard from the settings of the computer that you want to transfer the data, navigate to the location of USMT folder you saved above and click on ""migwiz " and that should start normal files and the wizard to transfer settings from this location."

    Note: Be sure to point to the location to the root, for example, if you save your data at X:\nelson\USMT2. UNC, then point the location to X:\NOT to X:\nelson\USMT2. UNC. The wizard should find the data automatically.

    You should now be able to successfully complete the transfer process.
