Hello,
I am trying to restore my COMPAQ computer back to factory settings... I don't have a CD and do not care about losing files. I just want it back to as if I just got it out of the box.. Help

Hi,

I have a similar desire to the guy that asked the original question but it not clear to me what the difference is between boot from the recovery disks or just pressing F11 and doing a 'restore to factory settings option'.

Are these two things the same, if not, how do they differ?

Advice would be great, thanks!

Hello everyone
I want to reset my laptop to factory settings so I watched a couple of videos and read some articles they all say: "turn on your laptop then press f10 and then hit enter" when I do that it just starts up normally. The white text on my screen is a lot shorter than the the text on other peoples screen. What can I do? It came with windows 7 already installed and I didnt get a disc or a code or anything like that. Its about 3 years old so I dont have the manual (I know im an idiot) Its a VPCEB4X1E Sony Vaio. I dont have anything on it I want to keep exept Windows-
