• How can I reset my computer to factory settings

  original title: factory settings

  How can I reset my desktop to factory settings trying to avoid having to reformat my computer crashes, freeze and are very slow, I tried f10 at startup, do nothing please help :)

  Access the manufacturer's Web site, search for their knowledge base. Ask in their forms. Ask support.

• How to restore the computer to factory settings?

  I want to restore my computer back factory settings im tp do not know how to do that please inform me on what I do you solved the problem

  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.

  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.

  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

• I have a HP pavilion Elite and I can not reset my computer to factory settings?

  I continue to have this problem where I can not even open any app on the computer such as microsoftword and power point. Nothing works! I tried reseting the computer, but I did not eat for recovery. or a backup disk. I tried to download the recovery as some other Manager answers but it doesn't seem to work. I can't even personlize my background saying "Server Esecution failed" in everthing.

  Hello again Otaku.

  Sorry for my delay.  I was out of the office.

  It really depends on your warranty situation.  You can check the status of your warranty here.  Even if you are not in the security for costs which are incurred would be minimal, and these drives are incredibly useful to have.  Then, I highly recommend that you buy a game if you don't have any.

  Have a wonderful day!

• Restore the computer to factory settings

  Hello. How to restore my Vaio (Model PCG - 71318L) computer to the factory settings. I don't want to do a system restore to a point in time. I want to restore it to factory settings.

  To reinstall windows using the advanced recovery it says I need a 'windows install disc", but the computer did not come with one. How to create a "windows install disc." How this disc is distinguished by the "system repair disc.

  If I create a "system repair disc" I'll be able to use it as a 'Windows install disc"when I reinstall windows.

  Is reinstall windows identical to restore to factory settings? If this is not the case, how it restore to factory settings?

  My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium

  Thank you and best regards

  Hello
  Welcome to the Forums of Discussion of the user.
  PCG - 71318 is a chassis number for all VPC-EB-series laptops
  to find your number of exact model please consult this guide here: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/support-i... 4 #notebook

  your laptop EB series has a hidden partition, to access with the computer turned off simply press the [help] button, it should turn on the computer and start the backup partition.

  If it does not turn on the computer and the key to tap the [F10] a few times to the VAIO logo
  a screen indicating "Edit Boot Options"
  Just press enter and launch the tools

  Once the load of tools choose "C Drive Recovery" and all will be wiped clean back to the original factory image. You can even use data backup to backup all your files before you begin the Format.

  Once the device is returned to the original image once you're at the level of the windows desktop, press [help] to open VAIO Care and create a set of recovery software. all you need are 2 blank DVDs

• 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

  JaeMmb

  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 want to return the computer to factory settings.

  HP Pavilion DM4, Windows 7

  I want to return the laptop to its factory settings. The problem is that I don't remember if it came with Microsoft Office installed. It is the only program that I use all the time. I have not installed anything other than Mozilla Firefox and the antivirus, of course.

  It is extremely slow, twice I had the blue screen, I couldn't get the details, reboot it took care of that.

  I'm not good at this, I don't want to get into something, I can't handle.

  Hello

  Please check the bottom of your machine, it must have a label/sticker that displays Microsoft product (even if you can't all read). If so, there is a sticker, please continue:

  Except if you have deleted the recovery partition on your machine, your machine must have a recovery partition. Make sure all your backup files before you restore the PC/laptop to the factory settings.

  To set your PC/laptop to the factory settings, restart the PC/laptop. At HP Home screen hit F11 repeatly has reached (or the ESC key on some machines) to start the recovery process. Follow the instructions on the screen.

  Kind regards.

  A factory image recovery will delete all emails.

  I have to honestly tell you that any decent forensic program will retrieve all emails.

  Your best bet is to make sure that you have your game disks recovery and all the license keys for programs installed once you have received your laptop.

  Buy a replacement hard drive and install it. If you do not know how, then it done by a PC shop.

  Once the new drive is installed, use the serial or usb disk recovery recovery media to return your laptop to its factory delivered State.
