FAQ's
Q: What if it says that I need to free up additional space?
A: You can try deleting a lot of your needless data as seen here; • How To Clear Cache - D... . If that does not work, then you will have to install Windows new.

How to install Windows 11 here: • How To Install Windows... .
If you cant create your own, you may have to purchase it. You can see an example of a good install media USB in the Repair Tools list here; www.amazon.com/shop/pcmonkey.
Q: What are some other Function keys that may work?
A: Usually, I use F11 or F9. Some viewers have used F12. Lenovo Ideapad 330 has used F10.
Some viewers have to use a pin to press a 'reset style' button on the side. This could be the case if you have an Ideapad S340, a s145, - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

You saved me! My Lenovo symbol would turn on and then stay black. I did the reset and it took a lonnggg time but worked!! Oh and it gave me the option to save “my stuff” during reset or wipe it. I didn’t have anything on it since I use a separate network for work so I did a full wipe. Thank you so much! With Covid-19 happening there was a long wait to get my laptop looked at and I work from home everyday. Lifesaver!! 🙂

Hi! Thank you for this, it has been useful with the boot loop my old Lenovo ThinkPad is in. I have some questions before this step, should I save all my docs into a drive? And, can I do that even if I can't get the computer to start?
Yes, you should back up your data before performing a Factory Reset if you dont want to loose data. However, if you cant get your computer to start, then you wont be able to. If there is data on your Drive that you wish to save, you would have to bring it to a computer shop and have them try to save the data from the drive first.
Very helpful and much appreciated

On a service call with Lenovo I was instructed to hold down the relevant entry key first and then press the power button while continuing to hold the Function key (in my case F12) until the machine entered the BIOS or whichever menu. It worked for me.
I’m just tryna figure out which button I need to press lol. I may be doomed to never use this laptop again..
I used this your method. But i got a whole different menu.
I cannot find my "key"
Thanks a million worked 1st time 😊

I need help it keep on saying additional free space is needed on the drive where windows is installed free up some space and try again and I already free up space I need help pls help me
mines too i cant reset it because of that
just to help anyone, i couldn’t find the f button to reset it. But there is a small hole at the bottom of the left side of the laptop. It is next to the long hole ( idk what it is lol). You will need a pin or a pick to touch the button. After that it will come up with options, pick the one with the screwdriver on it then factory reset. (I have a lenovo ideapad 320) right now it is resetting again. If i remember to comment on this i will tell you if it works :)
Did you do this while iit was off or on

What do I do if my Lenovo laptop says “undoing changes made to your laptop”

Thank you sir. I can reset now my Lenovo laptop. Do you have videos or link about essential softwares that needed to install into the pc after resetting it? Thanks a lot and have a great day ahead! God Bless😊
Glad to hear :) There is no essential software needed for windows 10 to operate safely. If you would like to add things for specific uses you are planning on, then thats up to you :)
For those that dont know.if you using a lenovo s145 on the right side of the laprop next to the earphones port is a small reset hole that you will need to press using a small pin then it will reset and follow the options
I was panicking when the keys weren't working, thank you for mentioning the small reset hole

When I reset and click remove everything, "There was a problem resetting your pc"- it appears after reset.
If the reset wont finish, you would have to reinstall the operating system fresh as shown here; th-cam.com/video/Wu0c8wR5Ltk/w-d-xo.html
Dont worry, its free :)

Thank you Jamin. I'm running into the issue of Bitlocker recovery key, how to do I get around this? It's a old company Lenovo ThinkPad that is locked by the company's IT admin and I want to use it for personal use, wipe it clean and I already have Windows 10 on a usb flash drive (from your video). When I hit Skip This Drive, it's just putting me in a loop and not allowing ne to Remove Everything. If you have a video for this or have already commented on this issue, please let me know where to find it. Thanks
I factory reset my Lenovo but I can’t log in on the computer anymore 😭... I put my username and password but it won’t let me log in

@@PC_Monkey the same problem happen again today but now the same steps arent fixing it,a light on the right of the 3 lights on the left side of my laptop, flashes once when i press f12 whilst pressing on the power key
@@tristenakintomide6064 Are the lights the only signs of life when you turn it on? No motherboard or hard drive sounds? No fan noise? Nothing on the screen?
screen turns on and tajes me to bios, i managed to fix it though when by pressing f12 with the power key when it showed american mega trends on the screen the light on the far right indicates the connected os on startup i think

Hey there, I have a Lenovo G580, 2689 model laptop from 2012, and I’ve done multiple factory resets. I was wondering if it’s possible for me to get windows 10 on this laptop, or is it too outdated? Since I’m on windows 8, thanks.
Thank you
I accidentaly installed a something that made my computer unable to open internet browsers. This helped me alot.
Thank you!

Awesome vid! I noticed when copying an old disk, that in addition to the C partition for windows OS there’s another D primary partition called LENOVO. It’s 25GB that’s just sitting empty but can I safely merge it? Suspect it’s related to the Novo recovery since it was from the factory…
In the menu to restore pc with a light blue background (5:34 alike), 2 options appear: 1. delete the drive only where windows is installed 2. delete all drives... what happens if I select option 2 of all drives? is the windows image deleted? (or is it in another partition?)
I know that in D: there was a OneKeyrecovery folder and a Lenovo folder with restricted access for admin, colored transparent
Hi there, i have many issues with my laptop that are slows down, some errors. Especially i'm doing this because i have an error in microsoft store, says "page could not be loaded" and i have tried many solutions but it didn't work. Another thing is that my Windows is not activated so after doing reset would I need to activate my Windows or or is it okay to keep it as it is ?

Does anyone know if this will be the same setup for a Lenovo V14 laptop with windows 10/ windows 11 setup? Also if setup the laptop with a new create account on the blue page for Microsoft account can you change that later after finish setup with new account by going back later somehow to put in/ install new Microsoft account in the laptop without possibly resetting the whole laptop such as a factory reset etc.? As I am completely new and using my Lenovo V14 laptop for 1st time originally had a Toshiba L850 pro with windows 7/ Windows 8.1 in the past.
Thank you,
