pmiller Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 My current computer came shipped with Windows Vista, and if at anytime I wanted to restore my computer to factory settings I just simply hit f11 on bootup. After upgrading my computer to Windows 7 I can no longer restore my PC, when I hit f11 it just goes on booting up normally.Is there any other way to restore my computer?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Restore to factory setting is usually done via a hidden backup partition. Do you still have that partition, or was it formatted during the Win7 install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
