Hello
I would like to reset my computer to factory settings. I have been searching for a while (F10 on startup, etc.) and nothing I've tried has worked. I no longer have the installation CDs and I would like to know if there is a simple way to completely reset my PC. It would help me a lot.

Thank you in advance! :)

    Hello,

    have you tried the F11 key right at startup?

    best regards

      Yes, I tried, but is it at startup that the desktop opens or when choosing the session or before?

    Right-click on Computer - Manage - Disk Management and take a screenshot that you put here in your response.
    Thank you

    Indeed, no factory restore partition.

    Was this PC originally running Windows 7? Has it been reinstalled?

    reinstalled with what medium? a cd? I doubt it would be via the factory restore partition...

    Do you have the label with the Windows license attached to the PC?
    And what is your version of Windows 7?

    I don't know how it was reinstalled, premium family edition, and I can't find a Windows license label, what does it look like?

    you only have this solution left:

    download the version of windows 7 that corresponds to your license, burn it to iso, and then boot from the iso dvd that you will have created to start the windows installation.
