Great method, but only works if it is supported by your PC manufacturer. If it doesn’t, the option will be replaced with an option that tells you to reinstall Windows completely, which requires installation media.
I have that problem. :(
@@lindak1960now Yep, same here. Maybe there's a Win7 install download somewhere, who knows. That's what I'm going to try though.

Thankyou so much. I've been trying for hours to fix my computer and I finally gave up and decided to reset the whole thing. You were the only person on the entire internet that helped me. THANKYOU so much.
Thank you so much for this video. It is August 2022, and I still had my old computer with Windows 7. My daughter gave me a brand new Dell computer as a retirement gift, and I wanted to get rid of my old one. I backed up my files, pictures, etc, to my Dell, and after researching, I discovered that it wasn’t enough to just delete, because your personal information can still be stored in the background of your hard drive.
With that being said, I’ve been trying to find a video to assist me with preparing my old computer for donation or to give it to someone. But, all the other videos were so complicated and long, and they were for Windows 10. I came across your video and it was the best, absolutely amazing, very simple, and it worked. I love it.
Thanks again for posting this. Even though you put it out some years ago, it still works.
🥱🤫
Mine is different and requires the installation disc instead of just a factory reset. Is there anyway to reset it without the disc?
I need help with it to

This is making me crazy! Mine has 'use an image' or 'reinstall windows (using a disc). mIne came preloaded and I don't have a disc.
Same here.
Yeah same 😭
Same
if you have another computer and a usb drive, back up that pc onto a usb drive and reset the desired pc using the backup on the usb, that's what I did and it worked fine.
Same
Thank you. You made the process so simple and i appreciate showing step by step. This video is still helpful 10 years later on my Acer laptop. Great video sir
2:17 mine says Reinstall windows instead of return to factory :(

@@corruptedXwarrior I ran into the same problem what do I do?
Do we need a disc ?
Same
Yes what do i do here please
8 years on still helping people with this gem of a video 📹 thanks man
My pleasure
@@BooredAtWork for some reason its not working for mine
On my laptop Compaq 6510b Windows 7 it works a bit differently...but I figured it out.
- As in the video, power down, then power up pressing F11.
- When you get to the first screen with choices, you need to be very quick and tap the down arrow so you are not choosing Windows 7 (which will just restart Windows again) but System Restore.
- Press F8 (as indicated) to shows you more options, but none of them is "Factory Reset" or anything similar. Nevertheless...
- Choose "Safe mode with Command Prompt". This brings up a System Restore warning about data erasure (yay! I expected a command prompt and more research to finding the right command, but sometimes things go happier.)
- Read everything carefully.
- Make sure your laptop is plugged in - you really don't want to run out of battery in the middle of this.
- Choose the green checkmark to factory restore. Wait for a long time.
- After I got back, my computer was off and black.
- Press the Power button and Setup runs, eventually asking you to create an account. SUCCESS!
It doseny say factory conditions it says reinstall Windows and It needs a Windows installation disc help me
Same here and I can't find mine

Instead of mine saying "return your computer to factory condition" it says to reinstall windows requires a windows installation disc"
mine doses also idk what to do!
You need to click on "Use a system image you created before" and there should be a "skip" option. Click on that. Then just click "restart"
Laamis so whats the go does that still work, no disc required to reboot what so ever?
Laamis This doesn't work, once the computer restarts it takes you to a recovery screen where you still need to insert a disc
In your case you need to get an installation disc or USB Flash drive

+Lucky HartantoS welcome
Watching this in 2023.
Why do I not have the same options as you? Why do I need a disk and you don't? I don't have a disk to restore windows and I can't get another one without buying it which I can't do any time soon. It shouldn't be this fucking hard to refresh my hard drive.

are on on pc or laptop
MrgruesomeGamezz i had the same problem and im on laptop. what the solution?
Cassy Lein just hit yes and skip continue anyways guys. Worked for me

I am watching this video in 2023 and it’s still the best video out there.
Good day.....This may be a fix for people that (require Windows installation disc and do not have disc)
Restart your computer.
Tap the F8 key, select Safe Mode and press Enter.
Once the system boots into Safe Mode, try restoring the system.
Here are the steps:
1. Click Start, type system restore in the Start Search box, and then click System Restore in the Programs list. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click Continue.
2. In the System Restore dialog box, click Choose a different restore point, and then click Next.
3. In the list of restore points, click a restore point that was created before you began to experience the issue, and then click next.
4. Click Finish.
HEy Phil J hope all is well?

@@ibrahimfarrukh6299 it's because you didn't buy your windows. I'm assuming you got the free cracked version.

Thank you so much! This video was very helpful. My pc has been having some issues for a very long time and during that time I’ve just been living with it. But recently I’ve lost my patience, and have decided to restart it.
The process is currently at 5% as I type this. Again, thank you so much for the helpful video, you’re amazing!
How's your comp now
Still rebooting
Who is watching in 2023..?
Would it also wipe the data on the other drive or only the one with where the OS is installed? Thanks. 🙂
Only where the OS is installed
Theres no Factory default option.

Mine says re install windows (requires Windows installation disc) instead of return your computer to factory condition.
I'm having the same problem. Anybody know how to solve it?
xPolloLoco You can't. He had a pre installed recovery image that came with the computer when he got it. You can read that at 2:12
Yeah I figured it out yesterday. I had to make a USB bootable with Windows 7 on it and then change boot options to the USB. Only said all that to help anybody who may have the same problem.
Call the manufacture and ask for the disk , they will ask you for the serial number , and they will send the cd for free of charge.
xPolloLoco make a video ? pls
This video is crystal clear and helpful. 👌👌👌
Kudos! Thank you. 😊

Why I couldn’t have factory condition? Mine is reinstall Windows (require windows installation disc)?

I am having this problem ,now did you find a solution about it plz?
Same here. What's the solution?
what does "DISC" mean I don't have a fu ** ing disc, and now what? My laptop is so stupid I can't use any means to Factory Reset Windows 🤬🤬
the same here
Yes, there is ALWAYS a factory image that you can recover which is the very first image of when you booted your system for the first time, you need to boot your pc into safe mode to access it, then choose "Repair computer".
Um, 'disc' means disc... as in optical disc. Like CDs and DVDs. Or are you too stupid to know that?
What if you dont have the "Factory Condition" option I had my PC made by Cyberpower and wanted to do this but the only other option I have leads to the same process but I require the Windows Disk which I dont have cause they used it for me and never sent it so Im just screwed right
yep, i dont promote this but unless you download an iso from a torrent site and boot from that
Well your right, that is the only thing I thought of as well. Thanks for the input, but ill just wait until I have a real problem haha.
