I have to reset my pc back to factory settings...

I need to rest my computer acer windows vista Home premium 64-bit back to factory settings. I do not have anyback of the discs, but I herd if you not a code or something you can always do.

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.

https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

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, Acer can be Alt + F10, 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

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

    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.

  • Satellite A300-15 has back to factory settings

    Hello!

    I have an old Satellite A300-15 and I want to go back to factory settings after almost seven years of never format the hard drive.

    I did a little research on this 'how... "but I still don't know if the laptop comes with a windows recovery or not.

    I have another laptop with a score of "windows recovery", but in my toshiba, the only thing I see is a recovery of HARD drive file in my E: partition. I don't really know if that helps the reinstallation of windows.

    So if I reset the laptop with the method 'laptop computer Tower, hold the blah blah 0 button"it completely format my C: and need to reinstall windows or not?

    (Running Windows Vista)

    How it works with the recovery image installation, you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

    Start your laptop with F8 and choose the option to repair your computer. Follow the instructions on the screen and you will be able to install the original recovery image.

    Installation of recovery described called the installation of HARD drive recovery. With other words, saved on the HARD disk in the folder HDDRecovery recovery image will be reinstalled on the C partition only and the second partition of HARD drive will not be deleted or formatted.

    In my opinion, that you create the recovery using disc (DVD) preinstalled creator Toshiba recovery disc. You can use created bootable disks to install original Vista. When you use discs, the whole HARD disk will be deleted, formatted, new partitions created and installed Vista end.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • 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...

    Please can someone help?

    Thank you

    You don't mention that you have created a recovery machine USB flash disk before the original failure to SSD, so I would say that you should contact the technical support number in my post above. They should be able to explain what options you need to recover your factory licensed operating system / configuration of the machine.

    Kind regards.

    Unfortunately, I managed to screw up some script in my registry entries, resulting in my not be able to uninstall my software Adobe Illustrator and InDesign (still less re - install!). Then - in a last-ditch attempt to solve the problem - I want to return to my iMac 21.5 back to factory settings and try to re - install all my software! Someone could tell me if this is the only way to solve this problem - and in this case, how do I go about this?

    I tried several Time Machine relocations, but while he said that Adobe Illustrator and In Design are in my applications, they both have a Code 5 error message when I try to open them.

    Can someone please?

  • Need help with laptop back to factory settings

    can someone help me on how to put my laptop back to factory settings

    Hello

    It would help if you told us your laptop brand and operating system.

    This is general information on how to do it:

    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 using the 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:

    "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 on the hard drive Partition reinstall back to how you bought 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.

    See you soon.
