Do you mean factory reset?
You contact gateway and have them assist you. We don't do that kind of support.
Thank you so much!!!

Who is her how owns the garbage and valuable info ?
If I may, lets look at this.......
We answer your question, and it works. Then, 2 days later your dwelling gets burglarized (Creator forbid!). Now, the burglar goes online and asks the same question you did, and lands on your question, and finds it. Now, they have a brand new PC, and you assisted them. get it. We aren't paranoid, we just don't wish to contribute.

If you can gain access to your account, then do the following:
Log in, go to profiles, set your profile as ADMINISTRATOR. Log off, and log back with ADMIN privalages. Now delete yous sisters account. Her stuff will go away! Go into Windows/Users and delete your sisters folder. It is gone!
Now, create another account, and set a password. Set this to Administrator. Set your account as a user. Log off, and log back in using your account. Now if you want to INSTALL something, use the OTHER ACCOUNT you just created with the admin privileges. DO NOT USE AN ACCOUNT WITH ADMIN level unless you are doing something with the PC. Do not browse the internet with ADMIN privileges!

Dear Megan,
We will give you the benefit of the doubt.
Your relationship with your sister seems to in a sad state. Before you do a factory reset, it would be wise and nice on your part to save your sister's garbage and precious info onto a usb key. Someday, you will be happy that you did.

2. In the Gateway Recovery Management window, click Restore, and then Restore system to factory default

16. Windows continues setting up the computer
17. The computer restarts
18. In the Set up Windows screen, click Next
