• Satellite Pro L450D - 12 X - reset to factory settings after formatting

  Hello

  I tried upgrading my installation of Windows 7 Professional to Windows 7 ultimate. I ended up format the partition and now Windows will not load and the installation hangs right on 0%. I don't have a disc of recovery for this laptop, is it possible to access the recovery partition on this laptp to reset to factory settings or a restore CD I can order and it will work?

  The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite Pro L450D - 12 X

  Hey Buddy,

  If you have already formatted the Windows partition, you are not able to start the recovery of HARD drive more. Also there is no possibility to access the recovery files and start them, so the pre-installed operating system is necessary.

  The only option you have is Toshiba recovery disc. Only with this drive, you can restore the original settings of the box but I m wondering why you have n t a. It s mentioned in the user manual you have to create yourself

  In any case, just order a disc here and be happy ;)

• no internet connection after resetting to factory settings

  I have a laptop HP HPG71-449WM.  He has screwed up and wouldn't let me not restore to an earlier point at all so I reset to factory settings.  I don't have a return to the top because there was nothing that I wanted to save.  I can't connect to the internet now, wireless or by connecting an ethernet cable.   It gets an error while going through the initial report put in place where you set your password for the pc, time, etc.  When he arrived at the place to connect to the internet, it gets an error, freezing.  I turn it off and turn it on and it just loads as a normal computer, but impossible to connect to the internet no matter what.  I have reset the settings to factory on 5 times in the last 3 days and get the same problem each time.  I have no recovery disk or whatever it is.

  I have a 2 TB Time Capsule airport who unfortunately through a handful of the network changes, somewhere along the lines, I pressed "forget the device" and now for the life of me, I can't connect to it.

  I'm unable to reset to factory settings, because I have about 1 GB of data and Time Machine backups on it.  Is it possible can recover and make it visible again so I can continue with my backups, without reset it completely?

• How do I restore my windows 7 to its factory settings? as a new installation!

  How do I restore my windows 7 to its factory settings? as a new installation!

  If you have bought and installed Windows 7 yourself, see the following resources:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7

  If it is preinstalled on your computer.

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is available for the most popular brands

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Samsung: Press the F4 key to the Samsung logo when you turn first.

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

• Pavilion 15-ab043sa: cannot reset to factory settings after the upgrade computer laptop brand new 10 Windows

  I bought 2 new laptops, they seem to be special models not listed is not in the HP support site, purchased from Currys PC World in the United Kingdom.

  First HP Pavilion 15-ab045sa laptop computer 15.6 "-red, upgraded to windows 10 perfectly well and I made a backup of the system while I studied the creation of recovery media (this info must be printed with the laptop in the box, rather than letting the user have to find BTW)."

  The other a HP Pavilion 15-ab043sa laptop computer 15.6 "-blue, for my parents, has turned into a total disaster."

  The two models are the same, except that the first is red and the other is blue, that's why they have different product numbers?

  I was now in a position where the recovery on the D: drive partition is not a factory reset.

  I did not even recovery disks as having the first one to go smoothly, I thought the same thing would happen on the second laptop and I got the recovery disc then.   I tried to create a USB stick recovery, but I had no one who can save the system settings - need at least 32 GB free.

  This occurred as first I started the laptop, made of windows, MS Office 365 updates, added then waiting 2 days for windows 10 to arrive.  When it came it installed fine and then I added a printer driver for an HP printer and made some configurations of the operating system.  At the next reboot showed something was wrong as the boot took over 7 minutes.  As the synaptics app was referenced twice in the tab start Task Manager also had strange things in the system.  Rather than go back to a previous system restore point that I attempted to identify what was wrong and uninstalled all without success.  I then had the opportunity to go back to 8.1 for Windows or "reset the PC.  Not a lot of explanation on delivery to zero and certainly no warning options that the D: partition was no longer valid.  Windows options were "in my face" so I don't think watching HP recovery.  So I chose to run from Control Panel 'Reset the PC and keep the files'.  So, indeed, I now have a clean install of Windows 10 but have lost all applications that were on the factory orginal building.  I see no way to re - install all of these programs and find the license keys.  I have more HP recovery at all.

  So I have no way to put the blue doesn't return to the factory settings.

  Advice please, I want a laptop blue, the same as the red, i.e. Windows 10 with all applications that have come to the factory as well as the correct printer drivers and a time of less than 30 seconds of starting.

  You are not sure if there is anything I can copy from red to blue to get it going again?

  Any help gratefully appreciated, thank you

• Reset the factory settings and Take Back up to 8.1 Windows

  Hello

  I have an older 17 inch HP DV7 laptop which is still in very good condition. Currently, it has a minimum on it software and is for Windows 8.1.

  I would like however to wipe back to factory settings which bring to Windows Vista, I think, but I put it to update all the way up to 8.1 Windows online.

  How can I then bring it back up to 8.1 so I have a chance to try to sell for a few hundred dollars.  I don't want these windows licenses more as I have since bought another laptop and bought all the software out there.

  or do I just take the chance and leave with Vista and see if someone wants to and that he organized to upgrade themselves.

  I don't know how to find the relevant licenses for 7 and 8 now on this laptop.

  Thank you

  Trish

  Hi Trish,

  If you post the complete model number, we can look it up on the card to see what came with the laptop.

  It should also have a Windows sticker on the bottom or in the battery compartment that will tell what was the operating system.

  If you upgraded each time through Microsoft online, then they would have sent you a key for every new update in your email. At least you reached a physical disk to load from who should have a key in the case somewhere.

  8.1 update from 8 doesn't have a key.

  Did you burn your original recovery disks before you start the upgrade?

  You will need those to return the laptop to factory. Although you still have the recovery partition in place on the disk, the bond that him was probably broken when you upgraded. If so, you will not be able to access the recovery at Startup Manager via the function key.

  Improvements to the OS you have purchased and installed in the computer is not good on this laptop and not another computer.

  If you have the possibility to return the operating system to original but do not have access to the improvements now, I don't worry about this. Resale value on old systems are weak despite everything.

  If you do not have your recovery discs, you can load a regular copy of Vista (if you can get one) and use the key on the sticker that is located on the laptop to install it. You will need to enter the drivers online first and then save them so that you can install after.

• Vista Windows reset to factory settings

  I have windows vista Home premium and I want to go back to factory settings... How can I do to do this? and I don't have the disk that is supposed to come with it (I bought from a friend's computer)

  Hello

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista

  See how is at your disposal.

  Probably buy the recovery discs replacing or borrow a Microsoft Vista DVD..

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  May not be available, but check (us and you don't know what the original owner CRE would be by means of a disc or a recovery Partition installed.

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
