Hi:

If the internal factory reset option isn't working, try the bootable USB recovery drive option.

The media created by the cloud recovery tool will reinstall W10, the drivers and the software that originally came with your notebook.

Here is an info link for how to use the cloud recovery tool.

I don't understand what you mean.

If you were trying to factory reset your notebook using the internal recovery system, you would lose all files installed after you purchased the notebook that way too.

The info page is just telling you that you should do that if necessary.

If you have no files to back up or don't care about losing them, use the cloud recovery tool.

It's basically a bootable factory reset.
