I'd like to reset my HP laptop to erase my personal files and return to factory state so that I can pass the machine on to someone else.

 

I know how to get to the microsoft windows reset, but am curious if there is an HP tool that is better to use for any reason?? 

 

I don't care much myself, but if there is HP-added functionality that might be lost, I'd like to retain as much factory-installed capabilities as possible, so I just thought I'd ask....
