Hello, I would like to restore my PC to its factory state, basically erase everything and reset to 0. I have an Accent computer and I only have Windows Vista. I can’t figure out how to do it because in System Restore they only offer an older date and I don’t have an installation CD. ._. thanks for your help

Configuration: Windows Vista / Safari 536.11

    It's a startup keyboard shortcut.

    Yes, you need to boot into the BIOS and format your hard drive; I don’t know the commands for your PC, well, for this series, but look on forums, there must be a solution :)

    Vitriol I looked it up and they say that at startup you have to press F10 or F11, then you enter the formatting, and they give all the PC brands for which it works, but I can’t find it for Accent ._. I think it’s a brand that almost no one has... except me

    When you turn on your PC, you spam F8 or F10, I don’t remember which key it is, once in the BIOS you format the hard drive, you follow the procedure and there you go...
