When the restore factory settings on the laptop will not work

The most common situation in which the recovery of the laptop to factory settings may not be possible - if it is reinstalled Windows. As I wrote in the article «Reinstalling Windows on a laptop", many users bought himself a laptop computer, remove the bundled Windows 7 or Windows 8 and install Windows 7 Ultimate itself, simultaneously removing the hidden recovery partition on the laptop hard drive. This hidden section and contains all the necessary data in order to restore the factory settings on your notebook.

It should be noted that when you call the "computer repair" and master resets Windows, in 90% of cases there is the same - the recovery partition is deleted, due to the unprofessional, unwillingness to work or personal beliefs Master that pirated build of Windows 7 - it well as a built-in recovery partition, which allows the client to not to go to the computer help is not needed.

Thus, if something from this has been done, then options are a bit - search for a recovery disk or the image of the laptop recovery section on the network (found on torrents, in particular, on Rutracker) or to take on the clean installation of Windows on the laptop. In addition, a number of manufacturers offer to buy a recovery disc on official sites.

In other cases, return the laptop to the factory settings is quite easy, the truth is the actions necessary for this, are slightly different, depending on the laptop brand. Immediately I will tell you what will happen when restoring the factory settings:

All user data will be deleted (in some cases - only from the "disk C", on disk D everything will remain).
A system section will be formatted and automatically reinstalled Windows. Enter key will not need.
As a rule, after the first launch, Windows will start automatic installation of all systemic (and not very) programs and drivers, which were pre-installed by the laptop manufacturer.

Thus, if you spend the recovery process from beginning to end, in the program part you will get a laptop in the state in which it was when you buy in the store. It is worth noting that this will not solve hardware and some other problems: for example, if the laptop itself was turned off during the games due to overheating, then most likely, he will continue to do it.
