Recovering your system to its factory condition

If your convertible notebook’s problems are not solved by any

of the other recovery options, you may need to recover its hard

drive to its factory condition. This process is called a factory

recovery.

Caution

A complete factory recovery deletes everything on your hard drive, then

reinstalls Windows and any pre-installed software and device drivers. If you can

access important files on your hard drive, back them up now.
