Hello,
I am trying to restore the use of an old PC running Windows 7.
Although it has no files and is almost empty of software, my C drive is filled to over 235 GB out of 238.
I have tried using software like EaseUS Partition Master but I can't even download the software!
I should mention that I have a second hard drive (D) that is completely empty at 332 GB.
So, unable to do much with my PC as it is, I decided to restore it to its factory state.
I have followed various guides and tried to reset the PC via the settings and also through safe mode but it is IMPOSSIBLE.
I consistently encounter the same window: "No restore point has been created on the system drive of your computer. To create a restore point, open System Protection."
I have indeed never created a restore point on my PC during its use.
However, now I want to restore it not to an old point but to its factory state, so I admit I don't understand the window that is preventing me.
My request is a bit long and I hope I have been clear enough anyway..
I would be VERY happy to receive some advice..
Thank you in advance!

Hello,
Check with the recovery console...
Restore your PC to its original (factory) state without CD/DVD

Thank you for your feedback, but the article doesn't help me at all.
Firstly, it is addressed to users of the Windows 10 version, while I am using Windows 7.
Furthermore, I am using an Asus computer, and the information provided is also not helpful; I keep returning to the issue of "last restored version."

Hello
what is the brand of the PC?
Restoring to factory settings is done at startup via a recovery partition called " Recovery "
if it is indeed present on the disk

Hello,
Right-click on the C drive, properties, disk cleanup (temporary files, Windows update, etc...), you will gain many GB, strange that if the PC has no software, it is so full of storage space!
