Don't know how the factory reset got the reputation of a miracle cure -- but so many people do this, and for the wrong reason.  If your PC is performing slowly, which is why most folks do this, that is nearly always due to a failing drive -- and forcing a reset in those conditions guarantees your computer will be trashed.

 

This nearly always means the primary drive is failing, will need to be replaced, and Windows reinstalled on the PC.


See the following HP Guide for more information:
