Hi michieday368...

To set you computer back to factory fresh settings you will need to format the hard drive and re-install the operating system and the drivers.
You will need to have the CD's that either you made when you got your computer or if you were lucky you got the CD's that the factory furnished with the computer at the time you bought it.
If you do not have the CD/DVD's that came with your machine then you will need to go to the Manufacturer's website and buy the Restore CD's or DVD's.
If the machine is too old, your only option is to check on ebay...
You may get lucky, and someone or maybe a company will have you CD's or DVD's available.

1.Format the hard drive:
You do this by double left clicking on "My Computer",then double left click the main drive (normally C drive).
When the window pops open, you will choose "Format"
Keep in mind that once you format your hard drive you will loose all your files,programs,pictures,etc that you installed since the computer was new. So make your back up on a portable hard drive,thumb drive,etc.
Please take time to rate me

Factory restore without cd

A name of the computer and operating system would be nice ? so some can provide with an appropriate answer you see different computers and operating systems all have different ways of doing a system restore to factory settings ?

Restoring a computer to its original factory settings should be the last ditch effort in attempting to save a system that has been corrupted by viruses or defective programs.


In the best case scenario, one would use the system restore CD that ships with new computers but often this CD is lost or the computer was purchased used.


In this case, a factory settings restoration can still be performed by using the computer's "Advanced Boot" menu.

Restart the computer.


Press the "F8" key after the computer reboots but before the "Windows" logo appears on the screen.


You should now see the "Advanced Boot" menu.

Scroll down through the menu options using the down arrow key.


Stop when "Repair Your

Computer" is highlighted and hit the "Enter" key.


Select the language you wish to use and press the "Enter" key.

Type in the computer's administrator ID and password. Press the "Enter" key.


Scroll through the options using the down arrow key.

Choose "Restore (name of computer manufacturer) Settings."


Press the "Enter" key.

Choose "Yes" when asked if you want to reformat the hard drive.


Press the "Enter" key to begin the reformatting process.

The process takes a few minutes, so be patient.


Do not turn off the computer or attempt to stop the process after it has begun, or this may result in major damage to the hard drive.


Choose "Finish" and press the "Enter" key to restart the computer.

The computer will restart with the original factory settings.


Hope this helps.

Can i keep new windows 8 pro after fresh fujitsu factory settings

Buy Windows 8 Activation Key 64bit 32bit
http://www.Genuinewindowkey.com/
of course, the best place to buy a key is ms. i purchased years from ms online store. however, this time, i'd like to share one special experience on http://www.Genuinewindowkey.com/ .
i visit my forum everyday. one day, i found a piece of recommendation from another guy. so i visited this site.
at the beginning, i'm quite skeptical at them. the price is too low.
then i sent many questions to them.
out of my expectation, they replied to me very soon. each question was answered.
at that time, i planned to try the new Windows 10 Education Product Key.
long story short, i purchased a key from them, received it and download links(32bit&64bit) in about one hour. i need 64. and, more important, the key works at the first try.
i sent much feedback to them. in one word, i'm very satisfied with this purchase, and i think, i should pass words to you.
