to restore the computer to factory

My computer it refreshes not guard sent me errors.  It is slow, and I ran a proctection top virus and spyware on it.  I want to clean the computer completely and run the factory, but it keeps asking me for a password.  I can not find my papers to know what is the password.  What would I use it.

If the recovery process requires a password, contact the manufacturer.

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, Acer is 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.

See you soon.

    I need to be able to load ultimate on the same machine but have no software disc.

    * original title - I bought Vista Ultimate and had to reset the computer to factory vista and I did via down load. Is it possible to recover the Ultimate. I bought three different times, and I have my license info. *

    Hello
     
     
    I would ask you to contact the Microsoft customer service to get the installation disk. After installation, you can use the same license key that you purchased to activate Windows Vista Ultimate Edition. Or you can also contact the website from which you downloaded the Windows vista ultimate.

  • 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.

  • Z220 CMT Workstation: restore the system to factory settings.

    I'm trying to restore my computer to factory settings. I pressed ESC several times at the start to the top of the computer. Select the system restore, but the computer just hoot to Windows form. I can not connect to windows, because as some error loading windows.

    Is there another way for me to restore the system to factory with a clean Windows 7?

    > is there a way for me to get the recovery disk?

    Two ways:

    1. in Windows system work, running the same version (32-bit? 64-bit?), you can burn a disc of "recovery."

    2. find a friend with a 'detail' in the Windows 7 operating system DVD (remember this is the same 32-bit or 64-bit, your system) and borrow the DVD of him/her, or get him or her to burn a copy of it.

  • How to return the computer to factory conditions

    I'm really having a very hard time with this.  I tried to restore my computer to factory to get rid of windows 8 etc.  I've erased everything, or so I thought.  Windows 8 is still on it.  I have discs I need etc to back to factory.  But I can't figure out how to get the discs to run.  I went to my control panel for the recovery and said everything I looked for me to choose methods of recovery in advance.  Although in my control panel that the option is not there.  So I'm still stuck on what to do.  I want to go back to the factory and start but nothing I try does not work.  I worked on it for 2 weeks and I am ready to throw this whole computer.
