T430 with win8 by factory default win7 - how to reinstall win7?

Hello

I had a T430 on Ebay. It is running Win7 and I want to do a clean reinstall; but there just win8 sticker in the back and no product key for win7.

So it seems that it was preinstalled with Win8. If I choose "restore to the factory installed state", he would go back to Win8? I don't want that. I want Win7, but I want a clean reinstall.

Is it still possible?

Thank you.

Jeffrey

Thank you very much. I learned so much.
I went in front of a building restored by default - and this is Win7. No drama.

    Hello

    You can use the recovery disc or HARD drive recovery.
    I suppose that you created a disk of own recovery in the past.
    In such cases of booting from this drive and follow the on-screen instructions ;)

    If you have no recovery disc then try to drive HARD recovery.
    Start the machine, press F8, and then choose fix my computer, and then click HARD drive recovery.

    How can I configure my pc back to factory default

    Your computer came with a Windows installation disc? If so, you can use it.

    Otherwise, here are two possibilities. Check the manual for your computer brand and model to see if they are available:

    • Some computers come with a built-in program that allows you to create a set of recovery DVD.
    • Some computer manufacturers put a recovery partition on the hard drive of the new computers.  By pressing a special key combination when the computer starts, you can use the recovery partition to restore the computer to the way it was when it was new.

    Hi elrossco22,

    What Satellite L300D, you have exactly and are - this a European model?
    If yes try to access the Windows Advanced Boot menu and choose fix my computer. Then, you can start the recovery of HARD drive feature.

    If this isn't the case, you need a new Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings. You can order such a drive here but it s for European models only:

  • How to reset to factory default settings, as if it was brand new?

    I have a laptop Toshiba L300. I want to reset the laptop to factory default settings.

    The reason is that whenever I use the browser firefox internet and explore when I do a search using the search engine, and when all the search results are listed and I click on a particular site, it takes me to a page at random. Once in a while, it may take me to the page I'm supposed to be after clicking on the site, but most of the time it takes to a crazy page irrelevant.

    So I downloaded another web browser (google chrome) and there is no problem at all. I hope that if I restore the default settings, the problem can be solved.
    Can anyone help?

    Hey,.

    Yes, I think reset factory settings would be best choice for this issue. You can use the recovery disk or recovery disk Toshiba feature.

    Where is the difference?

    -The procedure of recovery of HARD drive, you need to start using the advanced boot menu (F8) and repair my computer option. Follow the instructions on the screen and Windows will be resettled in the files on the HARD drive second. Only the first partition will be erased

    -The Toshiba recovery disc erase your entire HARD drive. This means that you should back up files on the second partition as well. In addition you must boot from that disk.

    Good luck! :)
