I have heared that I can do this by pressing F10 at start up, but im worried to lose all the software that VAIO has installed on it when I first bought it. So will I lose these programs with this type of restoring and if so is there another way in which I can fully reinstall and bring my laptop back to how I first got it.</P><P></P><P>Thank you </P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 10 Feb 2011 14:12:51 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/restore-factory-settings-and-keep-adware/m-p/199333#M44917 masraarsam 2011-02-10T14:12:51Z restore factory settings and keep adware https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/restore-factory-settings-and-keep-adware/m-p/199334#M44918 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P><SPAN style="font-size: 12pt;">If you use F10 your Vaio will be returned to exactly how you bought it.&nbsp; All the pre-installed software will be reinstalled but you will lose everything you have added yourself.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-size: 12pt;">You will have to reinstall all Microsoft and Vaio Updates.</SPAN></P><P></P><P><SPAN style="font-size: 12pt;"><img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.lt/html/@0248C33DDCF34AA61B8F8F33F5AFA5BE/images/smilies/013.png" alt=":wink:" title=":wink:" /><BR /></SPAN></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 10 Feb 2011 16:31:21 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/restore-factory-settings-and-keep-adware/m-p/199334#M44918 Blencogo 2011-02-10T16:31:21Z
