Restoring a laptop to factory settings is a completely automatic re-installation of Windows with all applications and drivers that have been pre-installed by the manufacturer. When the resetting process is over, you will have the laptop in the same condition it had when you bought it. When resetting, Windows is restored from a backup, which is kept in a special hidden recovery partition. You can see it when you enter out the Disk Management menu. It's usually called recovery partition, and takes up from 5 to 20 gigabytes of space. However, the size can be very different depending on the size of the pre-installed apps and the system. Without this partition, you can't factory reset a laptop. Though, this partition can be absent as a result of accidentally deleting it during manual re-installation of Windows or if you bought a laptop without a pre-installed operating system. Please note, when the operating system is reset, all data from Disk C will be erased. The sequence of actions when factory resetting a laptop may differ depending on the manufacturer. However, the differences are slight, while the algorithm of actions is similar. The first step is to get into the laptop's recovery environment. How you do it depends on your laptop manufacturer. Let's have a look at the most popular ways. Some manufacturers have a special dedicated button for this purpose, like Lenovo Zoom, Lenovo Button or Sony's Assist button. This button may be placed above the main keys of the device or even on the side of our back panel. You can use it both when the operating system is running or when the computer is off. It starts a menu where you should select the necessary action. Usually it's system recovery or recover your system. Yet, most laptops can take you to the recovery environment when you restart the computer and keep on clicking or holding down one of the functional keys before the system starts booting. This functional key can be F9 for Asus, ELT plus F10 for Acer, for HP Pavilion, Escape Button when starting the laptop, then go to the Start menu and press F11. Samsung F4 Toshiba F8 in latest models is 0 or sometimes Fn plus 0, Dell F8 Fujitsu Siemens F8, LG F11, Lenovo F11 if there is no dedicated button, Sony if there is no Assist button, just press F10. As a result, recovery environment, Windows Boot Manager or Advanced Boot Options will start. I'll show further steps with the Dell laptop I'm using. But as I said before, the algorithm for all actions for laptops by other manufacturers will be similar. In the menu that appears, choose Repair your computer, Recovery Center or System Recovery. The computer will load the files required for recovery. After that, select the language and use a recount. You will see the System Recovery Options window. Usually, the last line in this window is the manufacturer's backup and restore firmware. For example, in my Dell device, it's Dell backup and recovery. But other manufacturers may have other names. For example, Toshiba HDD Recovery, Sony Viere Recovery Center, HP Recovery Manager, Acer Recovery Management, Samsung Recovery Solution, Lenovo 1 Key Recovery and so on. However, sometimes when you press the necessary button, the laptop may start loading the recovery utility at once, so it skips the Windows recovery environment. Most often, it happens when the laptop has a special recovery key like Assist on Nova Bottom. If your laptop can boot Windows, then you can start any of these recovery utilities from the running operating system. If Windows can't boot, or the laptop's native recovery utility doesn't work for some reason, then you can reset the device from the recovery environment only. In my case, I select Dell backup and recovery. The interface of the utility for factory resetting the laptop is loading. I select Advanced Options, Factory Refresh, only restores the system partition. Next. After that, don't touch anything. The recovery process is completely automatic and doesn't require any user actions. The computer will restart several times during the recovery process. The recovery is complete restored. After the restart, the laptop will boot in its factory condition, that is, the way it was when you bought it. All programs pre-installed by the manufacturer will be restored. As you can see, it's very easy. In details, the process of factory resetting a laptop may differ in Windows 7 or 10. On the whole, such things don't matter much. The point is, to have a recovery partition on the hard disk and make sure that files of this backup copy are not damaged. Otherwise, bringing Windows back to life will require at least having an installation disk with the operating system. There is a special video about installing Windows from a USB drive or DVD.
