How to restore the computer to factory settings?

• The intention to restore the computer to factory settings. How can I get Win10 again?

  I have an emachine at less than ten years now. Originally it had installed Win7 on it and last year I got the free update of Win10. No problem downloading or installation, have no problem with it, but this poor old clunky machine is to his last breath. I want to do a "restore to factory settings. I know it will destroy everything, and I guess he'll reinstall Win7, after which I would download and re - install Win10 just like I did before.

  Can I do this?

  Should I have my registration key of Win10?

  Where would he get this information?

  Win10 is still available as a free download/install as if it were last year?

  I don't want to restore on Win7 to see that now I have to buy the Win10 I'm currently using for free, I want to know ahead what to expect and what will be expected of me until I push the button.

  Yes, I know, I need a new computer, but it is not the budget for it right now. It's why I can't really afford to buy Win10 if I don't have one.

  Thank you

  Yes, you can.

  Format your system and install Windows 7 and turn it on.

  After coming to start windows update and when your windows 7 updated, it will automatically give you 10 free update Windows.

  But the upgrade of your system before July 29, 2016 because after that, you will only get the free update.

  I'm trying to restore my computer to factory settings. I pressed ESC several times at the start to the top of the computer. Select the system restore, but the computer just hoot to Windows form. I can not connect to windows, because as some error loading windows.
  
  Is there another way for me to restore the system to factory with a clean Windows 7?

  > is there a way for me to get the recovery disk?

  Two ways:

  1. in Windows system work, running the same version (32-bit? 64-bit?), you can burn a disc of "recovery."

  2. find a friend with a 'detail' in the Windows 7 operating system DVD (remember this is the same 32-bit or 64-bit, your system) and borrow the DVD of him/her, or get him or her to burn a copy of it.

• How to recover my computer to factory settings? How to buy recovery discs and which ones?

  I recently bought a used computer on craigslist.  It's a HP Pavilion a6700f.  He came originally with Vista, but the previous owner installed Windows 7 32 on it.  I want to put it back to factory settings, but I can't seem to do it without the recovery disks, which I did not.  I have tried F11 at startup, but the system recovery won't be open in this way for a reason any.  I tried to buy HP recovery disks, but they only for Windows Vista 64-bit.  I'm not sure if my computer came with Vista 64 bit or -34, although she has 34 bit Windows 7 right now.  How can I recover the computer to factory settings?  Can I buy the Vista 64-bit recovery discs and use them?  Will they work?  Thank you.

  Hello

  The command system will work for you given that provide you the product id of your machine. Please use the following link, it should tell you that the original operating system:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/bph07143

  Good luck.

  ps. Based on the following link, its original operating system was:

  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium with Windows Media Center with Vista Service Pack 1 (64-bit)

  Hi Jason,

  Since you did a factory restore, you must get in touch with the manufacturer of the computer, for assistance in the recovery, files.

  You can also use your favorite search engine looking for a third party recovery tool recover files.

• I changed my apple ID and password user name and it changed on 3 of my devices. I have a 4th device, which still has the old user name and password and I am not able to change it. I can't restore the phone to factory settings unless I can connect.

  I changed my apple ID user name and password on 3 of my devices. I have a 4th device, which still has the old user name and password and I am not able to change it. I can't restore the phone to factory settings unless I can connect.

  OK, just to clarify: you always use the same Apple ID, but you changed its name, correct?

  If this is the case, you can go to iCloud.com or use find my iPhone app (free on the App Store) of one of your devices to remove the 4th icloud.

• Try to restore my computer to factory settings

  When I go through the restore process and enter a disk to back up, my computer tells me that the "formatting" the drive has failed. I use a "memorex" with 700 MB CD - R disc. Is it the right type of disc. If it's what I do?

  For questions about the resumption of the process of factory settings, you will need to ask the manufacturer of the computer.

  This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.

  Each manufacturer has their own way to do it.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  This is general information on how to obtain a recovery media or use the recovery Partition:

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  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.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Ask them if you can also make 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 way of doing 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

  Super Guide Windows Vista Installation

  After installation > go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > get latest Vista drivers for it > download/install them.

  Save all data, because it will be lost during a clean installation.
