About this tag
The Dell factory restore tag covers discussions about restoring Dell computers to their original factory settings. Common topics include using built-in recovery partitions, accessing advanced boot options like F8 to reach repair menus, and performing system restores or startup repairs. Users often seek help with restoring Windows 7, 8, or 10 on Dell hardware, troubleshooting boot issues, and recovering from system errors without losing data. The tag also includes guidance on using Dell-specific recovery tools and third-party software for creating backup images before restoring.
Reboot, start tapping F8 until you get a black screen. In this we are using things before the GUI(Graphical User Interface) ie: Windows loads so we have better chance of fixing things.
