It may be necessary to restore the laptop to factory settings in many situations, the most common of them are any Windows crashes that interfere with the work, system “contamination” unnecessary programs and components, as a result of which the laptop slows down, plus sometimes the “Windows is locked” problem is solved in this way - relatively quickly and easily.
In this article, we will take a closer look at how factory settings are restored on a laptop, how this usually happens and when this may not work.
When you can't restore factory settings on a laptop
The most common situation in which restoring a laptop to factory settings may not work is if Windows was reinstalled on it. As I already wrote in the article "", many users, having bought a laptop for themselves, remove the bundled Windows 7 or Windows 8 and install Windows 7 Ultimate for themselves, simultaneously deleting the hidden recovery partition on the laptop's hard drive. This hidden section contains all the necessary data in order to restore the laptop to factory settings.
It should be noted that when you call "computer repair" and the wizard reinstalls Windows, in 90% of cases the same thing happens - the recovery partition is deleted, which is due to unprofessionalism, unwillingness to work, or the personal conviction of the wizard that a pirated assembly of Windows 7 is well, but the built-in recovery partition, which allows the client not to access computer help, not needed.
Thus, if any of this has been done, then there are few options - to look for a recovery disk or an image of a laptop recovery partition on the network (found on torrents, in particular, on rutracker) or take on a clean Windows installation on a laptop. In addition, a number of manufacturers offer to buy a recovery disk on official websites.
In other cases, restoring the laptop to factory settings is quite easy, although the steps required to do this are slightly different, depending on the brand of the laptop. I’ll tell you right away what happens when you restore the factory settings:
- All user data will be deleted (in some cases, only from "Drive C", everything will remain the same on drive D).
- Will be formatted system partition and automatically reinstalled Windows. Key entry is not required.
- Usually after the first Windows startup will begin automatic installation all system (and not so) programs and drivers that were preinstalled by the laptop manufacturer.
Thus, if you carry out the recovery process from start to finish, in the software part you will receive a laptop in the state it was in when you bought it in the store. It is worth noting that this will not solve hardware and some other problems: for example, if the laptop itself turned off during games due to overheating, then most likely it will continue to do so.
