Lenovo G780 factory reset

Hello
I'm trying to restore my Lenovo G780 with windows 7 settings. Is this possible?

Hi Grimfield,

Welcome to the Community Forums of Lenovo!

Yes it is possible.

If you have not installed a clean copy of the other operating system.

Just turning the computer off and press the OKR

This should bring you to the Recovery Option.

Hope this helps

See you soon!

  • Lenovo G50 factory reset - 80 questions

    I have a laptop G50-80, which has been upgraded to Win10 quite earlier. Recently he started having trouble with hardware and software that worked no longer works. I decided to use the reset option factory to return the system to Win8.1.

    Before doing so I downloaded the more critical of my files from the user to a Cloud Computing service and created a recovery image of windows on a SSD connecterd external via USB. I also created a system restore CD.

    Once I felt, it was safe, I pushed the button and started the factory reset. It has worked flawlessly, the system came in Win8.1. However, the files that I had uploaded to the cloud is not fully spread, and I needed to restore the image of Win10 to get back them.

    After several attempts to get the Win10 upgraded to work, I finally got to Win10 boot and restore the image of the SSD system. I found the files and was more securely save for later access. Now, I had to perform a factory reset more to return the system to Win8.1. But operations to do so led to restart the system for the installation of Win8.1. He was not able to start the factory reset.

    Some reading on the internet indicates that if the HD partitions are written in software other than the Lenovo OneKey tools that any attempt to use the partitions of the factory to do a reset would fail with the symptoms that I saw.

    Using the Win10 disk management tool, I see that there are 6 partitions on my hard drive. They are called "Recovery Partition", "EFI System Partition", "OEM Partition", "C:", "D:", and "recovery Partition". I don't see anything on the first 3 or last one of them. It doesn't seem to be a file system to set up, so I don't know if the data has been preserved.

    Is there something I can do to recover the factory software reset so I can restore this system to Win8.1?

    You may need more information to help. I'll be happy to provide all that you think you have need. Let me know.

    I found an answer that seems to work for me. I am currently at 12%, restore the factory settings. Check out the instructions here:

    https://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/Lenovo-beacon-stick-300-D-J-and/Windows-8-recovery-partition-not-recogn...

    After the execution of these instructions, the novo button does not. From the Lenovo OneKey app doesn't. I had to reboot to factory settings using the windows restore utilities. Before running these instructions, the third partition of the provided factory restore option was not available. This time it was and the restoration continues.

    If I don't come back and say otherwise, assume the success!

  • Laptop computer Lenovo running Windows 8 factory reset (damaged Sceen) while unattended.

    Good evening everyone

    Could someone please help in a process that could help tracking? My Lenovo laptop running Windows 8 had been trying to run a factory reset and, unfortunately, while left unattended, my younger brother accidentally shot the cables, resulting in my now... current portable computer damaged screen. I left my laptop Lenovo intact and charged through my diet (Yes, I removed safely the internal battery) for more than 24 hours in his supposed factory reset process. I'm unable to view the entire screen and reading a part of the legend that led to believe me that my laptop is in a phase of repair? My current attempt must connect an external monitor to my Lenovo laptop and the caption "D - SUB POWER SAVING MODE" APPEARS. There may be ways to substitute this mode or could someone help please I can find myself having a restless night without solving my unfortunate situation.

    Kind regards

    The parameters of the screen and the screen shorts can be different for each OEM (Original equipment manufacturer). That's why I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of your computer.

  • Issue of ThinkPad tablet 2 Factory Reset reinstall Windows

    Please help me. I have problems to reinstalling windows on my thinkpad Tablet 2. I have a long enough thread explaining my problem here, http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/lenovo-ibm/62633-thinkpad-tablet-2-factory-reset-reinstall-windows.h... if someone could help me I would be very grateful. I'll copy and paste the thread here, if I have to, but it's just easier to copy the link.

    Fastest salvation,

    I had similar problems to you with a number of our TPT2s. They are really picky when it comes to boot from an external support. Here's how I got mine to (possibly) regularly start on external media. However, one thing to note is that, in order to recover Windows 8 on it, you're either going to need disk recovery Lenovo or an installation of Windows 8 of your own disc. I have no idea if the drivers listed on the Lenovo site will work with anything as old as XP, although I remember some Windows 7 see so if you have a Win7 disc you might try that.

    1. disable the Secure Boot UEFI in the BIOS. [BIOS |] SECURITY | SECURE BOOT | [* Change the secure startup flag ' disabled]

    2 get some kind of separator/hub USB so that you can plug your external DVD drive with a keyboard (Microsoft still require you to "push any key to boot from CD" and touch the screen does not count).

    3. with the drive and the keyboard is connected, set the boot order in the BIOS so that the CD/DVD drive is the first boot option. I also push the Windows boot manager at the bottom of the list if it is there. Do, but I'm a superstitious Guy and save the changes.

    4. as long as the DVD drive has adequate power (need an external power supply. He cannot draw enough power from the USB port of the tablet to run) and you have a Windows disc 8/7 in the drive, you should now receive the message "press any key to boot from the CD-ROM. Press a button and it should... Finally... it takes much longer than any normal device... starting in the installation menu.

    Each step of this lasts longer than you expect. For example, it takes an age for the message "Press any key" is displayed. It just sits there with a black screen and the DVD blowing away.

    That's how I got mine to work in any case, best of second chance.

  • What * exactly *, did a factory reset?

    My Thinkpad T430, less than a year, is having issues - corrupted .dll files, Windows Update does not, all kinds of fun stuff. I'm waiting on someone to e-mail me own copy of the dll I need BUT I'm worried that this will not solve everything, especially for problems with Windows Update. I've exhausted almost every other option that I can find to try to fix it at this point. The nuclear option is a reset to Lenovo factory settings from the windows repair environment accessed by pressing F8 during startup, but before I do I want to know * exactly * what I would do to my computer.

    Specifically: will be reset back factory all files Windows system to their original state, which means that there is no chance that will persist the issues that I am? It will guarantee that Windows Update works again and all my .dll and other system files will be in a State of charge and not corrupted? The process replaces the current system files with the original versions that have been installed on the computer?

    I want to restore factory settings and find that Windows Update still does not work, and now I have to install more than one year of updates manually from the Microsoft Web site, one by one, or go through the trouble of having to reinstall all my programs, get my files on the computer, set the parameters in order to be as I would like again etc. only to not have these problems solved.

    Thanks for any help/input.

    Good news; I ended up not having to do a factory reset - I could get good copies of my someone else corrupted .dll files and copy them to my computer fixed most of the problems. Repair installation of the problematic program is solved the rest.
