how to set computer back to factory settings

[pug100]

Use the recovery disc that came with the computer. Should set it back to the condition it was when you unpacked it.
Be aware you will lose all your settings, photos, docs, drivers and anything else you've had installed on the hard drive since then. I would suggeset you back up any important files onto a cdr / dvd / usb hard drive if you want to keep them safe. Hope this helps you.

Not all PC or laptops have a recovery CD.

Some have a recovery area (partition) on the hard disk and you can recover from that.

Have a look at the documentation that came with the PC or laptop.

If it was a PC built by a shop or a friend it may not have any recovery process and you will have to do a re-install of Windows.
