Factory Reset Windows 7 | Reset Windows 7 To Factory Settings Without CD or Pendrive

How do I reset or restore a Windows 7 PC to factory settings? As we all know, Windows 7 doesn’t have the built-in refresh and reset options like Windows 8/8.1 and you have no other way to restore your computer to factory settings unless you have a manufacturer-provided install media or recovery disc.

Many computer manufacturers are pre-installing Windows without giving you the actual installation media to go with it. Instead, they create a hidden recovery partition for users to perform a factory reset. If your hard drive has such a recovery partition, you can then reset your Windows 7 system to factory settings without needing any discs or external drives. Here’s how.

How to Reset Windows 7 to Factory Settings without Install Disc?

1– Click Start, then choose Control Panel. Click System and Security.

2– Next choose Backup and Restore.

3– In the Backup and Restore window, click on the Recover system settings or your computer link.

4– Next, choose Advanced recovery methods.

5– Now you’ll be presented with two options: “Restore files from a system image backup” and “Return Your Computer to Factory Condition“. Click on “Return Your Computer to Factory Condition”.

Note: If your computer doesn’t have a recovery partition, then the factory reset option is not available and you’ll see the “Reinstall Windows (requires Windows installation disc)” option instead.

6– Select to either create a Back up now, or to Skip it and continue the factory reset without backing up any of your current files.

7– Click the Restart button to reboot your computer and to start the factory reset process.
