Hi! I have a DELL Inspirion computer and I was wondering if I can still restore my computer to the factory settings. Most of the threads explaining how to reset to factory defaults tell users to go to the system restore portion of the computer and click the button that says restore to factory default but on my version it is not there.

I was wondering if I could restore my computer without a Windows Installation disc or anything else.
Thanks!

To do a full factory restore wiping everything ..

Turn on the computer, after the Dell logo press F8 key repeatedly until the
Advanced Boot Options menu (Advanced Startup Options).
In Advanced Boot Options, highlight Repair Your Computer and press Enter.
Click Next and logon to the administrator account in the computer.
Click Dell DataSafe Restore and Emergency Backup and DataSafe Options.
Choose Restore without preserving new or changed file. Click Next to continue.
Choose Yes and click Next to continue.
Progress status will appear. Click Restart to initiate the restoration process.
