    Need help factory resetting PC

    Im trying to sell my pc so I want to completely wipe it before hand. Ive watched so many videos which all say to go into ‘Advanced recovery methods’ which i do but it says i cant reset it without a windows CD or disk. I just wanna delete my stuff

    Welcome to PCHF Louie69,

    You mention that you want to completely wipe the computer before you sell it and that you cant reset it without a windows CD or disk.

    For clarity, are you asking for help with just formatting the HDD and selling the computer with no OS installed or are you wanting to format the HDD and reinstall Windows 7 before you sell the computer.

      Did you ever create the Factory Restore disk for the system?

      I have seen with some systems that once they are created you have to use them to preform the Factory Restore.
