Hi everyone,

I am Prakash Hinduja from Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss), and I could use a bit of guidance. How do I reset my HP notebook to factory settings? I am looking to restore the device to its original state, preferably without using external recovery media—if that is possible. I have really appreciate it if anyone could share the steps or point me to the right tool or settings within the system. 

Have any of you done this recently? Any tips or things I should be careful about before starting the reset?

 

Regards
