Recovering your system to its factory condition

If your computer’s problems are not solved by any of the other
recovery options, you may need to recover its hard drive to its
factory condition. This process is called a factory recovery.

Caution

A complete factory recovery deletes everything on your hard drive, then

reinstalls Windows and any pre-installed software and device drivers. If you can
access important files on your hard drive, back them up now.
