Sept 2023: This worked!!!!!! I had an old Dell Windows 7 laptop that I needed to factory restore before I donated it. However, I did NOT have any of the original recovery disks, and the Microsoft site no longer supports any Windows 7 downloads. So, I followed your directions and it worked!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU!! Finally someone Just Helps! No runaround, No BS, Just right to the issue and how to correct it! I Salute you my Technologically advanced savior, I am but a simple noob existing in a world I don't yet understand. Cheers!
I haven't used my Dell in a long time, I charged it today and tried to use it. It worked but was so freaking slow. I knew I'd have to reset it.. thank you for this quick & helpful video. Hopefully now I can once again enjoy this laptop.
Super easy to follow along. All other advisories on factory reset for my old Inspiron did not provide the tricky details like F8 toggle at start up. THANK YOU!!
Thank a lot bro. I’ve been trying to do this for some time and every other TH-cam channel these MF talk to much and don’t get straight to the point. Great vid man really helped.
Thank you so much for this concise and simple to follow along video. I am selling an old Dell N5040 laptop and needed to factory reset. Ahhhh…I was so stressed before I found this video! 😢 Thank you! 😊
After clicking on U.S. keyboard, it won't allow me to go to the next screen you went to, instead it ask for a password, which I totally forgot. Its still asking for a password.🤔🤔 what should I do???
@@luvzaire2002 What I did what just change the password and you gotta power it off then power it on and in the starting windows hold power to power off for 5 seconds I recommend watching those videos
I looks like a simple operation but my computer does not go to system recovery options window instead it goes to connect normally. Please what should I do to get it right
I have a Dell Latitude 2100 with Win 7. It's old. I have tried to restore to factory settings and 1) there is no image 2) the restore points only go back a couple of months 3) I never see anything about Factory Reset during the process of going through all the motions. The only thing I see is that it asks me to insert a Win7 disk, which this latitude does not have a disk drive. Please help. Thanks!
When I get to the recovery options and click enter as you showed in video it is saying password incorrect it won't allow me to go further ? Can you help please
Question: at 2:36 "here, just hit OK" --- I get an error message that username or password are incorrect. This is a 2nd hand laptop, I have zilch info, how can I get around this issue pls?
I had to stop the video at 1:38 cause after pressing F8 that options menu comes on but I'm not getting the repair you computer option, I get everything else below but not that one. Is there any other way, I have several Inspiron mini that my employer gave me which I would like to wipe to resell.
