How to return the factory settings on the laptop

In the life of each laptop, the moment may happen when the owner wishes to return it to the level of factory settings. Not just so, of course, but for certain reasons. What other reasons can cause a similar desire, in what cases does the restoration is impossible and how to do it?

When returning to the factory settings, the entire material, acquired during the use of the device, will be lost. Therefore, to return the initial type of laptop should be a weighty cause. For example, in this way you can restore the former system speed. OS, overwhelmed by frequent installation and removal of programs, works much slower. Installing incorrect drivers or random "hard" viruses can also cause such actions.

There are often cases when we just want to sell or give your laptop to anyone. In this time, it is not at all necessary together with the device to provide all the information saved there. Especially if the laptop was previously used in the working goals and contained secret materials.

To restore the factory settings, it is necessary to have a hidden partition on the hard disk. It is an archived initial type of laptop. But sometimes it can be damaged or remote. For example, if you formatted it or erased in inexperience. It can also be spoiled if the laptop is overbought from the former owner, or is absent when initial selling (instead of it, in this case an important disk is attached).

Before making a rollback before the initial state, it is necessary to maintain all the important information on a separate medium. Photos, video and audio - not the entire list that can be useful. Be sure to check the text documents and the "Download" folder. Also pay attention to where the downloaded files are saved by default. You may find there many forgotten useful files there. Also make sure that you have all the necessary programs or access to the Internet. After recovery, it will help download programs and drivers.

Separate time to preserve passwords. It happens that many resources open automatically, and the passwords laptop holder forgot long ago. In order not to spend a lot of time on the problem recovery, it is better to write them in advance in a notebook. The same applies to contacts.

Each manufacturer provides its laptops with different software products, which means that the recovery before the primary state occurs in different ways. But there are several basic possibilities identical for all options. For example, the "eight" allows you to roll back when the laptop is running, and the "seven" and others require reboot. At the initial stage of the reboot, clamp a specific key combination that will call the menu with the required option. Only a few seconds are given to this process, so if the first time it did not work, it is better to repeat again.

Almost every manufacturer uses a persistent, familiar combination. For Acer - Alt + F10, for ASUS - F9, for Dell / Alienware - F8, for HP and Lenovo - F11, for MSI - F3, for samsung and Sony - F4 and F10, respectively.

At the last stage, a program will open, requiring from the owner of confirmation or specify any parameters. Usually this stage does not cause any problems or questions. The main thing is to remember that during the start of rollback to the factory settings, the laptop must be free from different additional devices. After all, they can change the course of the process. Using the device at this time is also prohibited. It is better to set it on the side and calmly wait.
