Crashes in windows operation occur quite often. The system is clogged unnecessary programsthat interferes with the normal operation of the laptop. You can reinstall Windows with the drivers and necessary programs, but it is much easier to restore the factory settings than reinstalling the drivers.
Most laptops come with an installed OS. There is a department on the hard drive where the image of the OS with drivers and programs is stored, so you do not need a disk to reinstall the system. To free up space on your hard drive, many users delete this section, but someone does not know about it. The folder where all the information is stored is called "Recovery". You can resume the system when you restart the laptop or from the operating system. It should be remembered when recovery in progress factory settings network adapter must be connected to the device. The factory settings for the laptop are located in a hidden section called “Recovery partition”. To enter it, you must go to "Computer Management", then to "Disk Management". In Toshiba laptops, in addition to the section "Recovery", there is a folder " HDD Recovery", Located on drive D. Both of these folders cannot be deleted, otherwise it will be problematic to restore the factory settings.

Articles on this topic.
In today's article, we are talking about returning to the factory settings for Acer, eMachines and Packard Bell laptops. Initially, I planned to write separate articles on them, but subsequently decided to get by with one.
The fact is that eMachines and Packard Bell are the same Acer and the recovery procedure is only slightly different in visual terms, and all the recovery actions for laptops released under these trademarks are almost identical, so I’ll just point out one single nuance in the course of the story .
So, before starting the process of restoring the Acer, Packard Bell or eMachines laptop to the factory state, first read the article if you have not read it before, as it describes the preparations that must be made before starting the laptop recovery from the system recovery section. Further actions are described on the basis that you have followed all the recommendations given by me in this article.
Well, do not rush to start recovery until you read this article to the end.
Use the Alt + F10 key combination to start the Acer, Packard Bell, and eMachines notebook recovery utility to the factory settings. Clamp this combination is necessary at the time of turning on the computer, before starting the operating system.
In order not to miss this moment for sure, I recommend holding the Alt key to make quick brief clicks on the F10 button.
However, for the recovery utility to start in this way, it is necessary that the D2D Recovery option is activated in the BIOS settings. The desired setting is here:
If you have never worked with BIOS settings before and have a vague idea of \u200b\u200bwhat it is, I strongly recommend that you start the system recovery environment in a slightly longer, but safer way, standard for many manufacturers of mobile computers.
To do this, immediately after turning on the laptop power, quickly begin to click on the F8 key. This is usually done when they want to choose a special operating system boot mode. We need the following menu to appear on the screen:
As you can see, at the very top is the “Troubleshooting your computer”. We select it (if for some reason it is not selected by default) and press the Enter key. The file download will begin.
Now you will need to specify the user on whose behalf the recovery will be performed and enter the password for the selected user, if one was installed. Enter the required data and click OK.
In the next menu that appears, click Recovery Management.
After that, the Packard Bell, Acer or eMachines laptop recovery utility will start. As I said, the differences in their interface are purely cosmetic.
If you intend to use the restore option using the Alt + F10 key combination, then all the previous steps are not relevant for you. The process of resuscitation of the system from the recovery section will begin immediately from this step.
So, since we assume that all of our important data has been previously saved, we select the option “Restore factory settings of the operating system”.
We will be warned about necessary measures precautions you already know about if you read the introductory article. To continue the process of restoring the laptop operating system, click "Next."
After that, we will be shown information about the hard drive of our laptop. Just click Next.
We agree with the next warning that all data will be lost.
After that, the computer will need a little time to complete the preparations ...
... after which the process of restoration to the factory state will begin. Just waiting.
Next, the Acer laptop and Packard Bell will automatically reboot, and eMachines will ask you to click OK to reboot. By the way, I could be wrong, but in my opinion some of the Acer models also ask to press a button to continue. In general, if asked to click OK - click.
The laptop will do the rest on its own. The system will periodically reboot. Do not bother her. Just wait for the initial start of the restored operating system.
In this lesson, the restoration of Acer, eMachines and Packard Bell laptops to factory conditions came to an end.
If my article was useful to you, please advise it to your friends using the buttons social networks or just sharing a link.
