If your operating system ever gets broken on your Dell computer, you have the option to restore the system to a factory fresh install of everything just like when it came out of the box... Just press the Control (CTRL) and+ keys F11 keys at the same time while booting. This will activate the Dell System Recovery utility, which restores a factory image of the original installation which is stored in a hidden partition on your hard drive.

please at your own risk disclaimer if it all goes wrong try dell support

  • You have same laptop as me and for some what reason mine can't connect to my access point to go on the Internet and really I feel like slinging it out the window lol

  • @gtacheats1 umm you might have a hardware problem when the machine starts up go into cmos run the system check it will run through you machine if there isant anything wrong try useing a rj45 lead and accessing directly.

  • best have a go if it dosent work after watching the vid and staying calm drinking tea. you prob haven't got one.

    best not get into partitions if you haven't much experiences with computers HDD's

    there are loads of vid on you tube explaining partitions

  • By doing this, do you get your laptop back into when you first purchased it? Like the settings, programs, etc.? PLEASE ANSWER.

  • @NeverShoutJoyce yes if the hdd has the partition others no, but you will lose all the data thats there at the mow

see all
