Restore my HP Pavilion laptop to factory settings it is a good idea?

I recently accidentally changed my default settings of the police, I did everything I could, except for the restoration of my hard drive to its default settings. However, since I bought this computer a year ago, I noticed faster internet and less connection issues, as well as some other problems fixed. I'd be willing to sacrifice my default settings for performance, so I was wondering if it would be a good idea to restore my computer to its default settings. Also, I currently do not have records to back up my data, so I'll need to do the same. Another thing, my HP Advisor advised me not to restore my laptop unless I really need to.
Yet one thing, lightning struck our House a few months ago. Unfortunately, I accidentally turned off my father the day before surge protector. Anyway, he destroyed all of our equipment to wireless internet, as well as the fan of my father. We then contacted AT & T and they sent us a few tricks, with phone, download order software online to make our internet work. I do not have these registered Web sites and I don't know how in the world I would like to reinstall that software. So, I was wondering if I drop everything this software if I did a factory restore.
Thank you for your time and support, rlnachtigal

I'm with your HP consultant. Restoring default values should be a last
Resort. If you need assistance resetting your fonts, start another thread for
which. I'm sure you will find the repair of fonts one relatively simple
task, compared to the restoration of your PC.

  • __Restoring your laptop to factory settings _

    I'm certainly not great computer so I need some help on how I would be able to restore my laptop to factory settings, since I don't have disks for it at all. I HAD PURCHASEED IT OF A FRIEND OF A FRIEND AND ALL THEIR INFO IS ON IT AND I have JUST the WANT DELETED.

    See which of these methods apply to you:

    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, Acer, recovery disk/s 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):

    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

    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.

  • 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.

    Additional reference on:

    Files and settings are not transferred when you use the files and the Settings Transfer Wizard
