  2. how do i reset a asus laptop to factory settings?

    The process of resetting an Asus laptop to factory settings can vary depending on the model and operating system. However, here are the general steps you can follow:



    1. Back up your important files and data to an external hard drive or cloud storage as resetting your laptop to factory settings will erase all data.
    2. Press the "F9" key repeatedly while the Asus laptop is booting up. This will take you to the recovery menu.
    3. Select "Restore factory settings" from the menu.
    4. Follow the prompts to confirm the reset process.
    5. Wait for the reset process to complete, which may take several minutes.
    6. Once the reset is complete, your Asus laptop will be restored to its original factory settings.

    Recovering Windows License After Factory Reset

    I am planning to perform a factory reset on my laptop. I have a few concerns about my Windows license:

    1. Will I be able to recover my Windows license after the factory reset?
    2. Is there any specific step I need to take before performing the reset to ensure my license is retained?
    3. How can I verify my Windows license information before the reset?

    Persistent drive filling issue on laptop after factory reset

    I recently performed a factory reset on my laptop to address a drive filling issue. However, even after the reset, the problem still persists. The drives on my laptop keep filling up without any apparent reason or action from my side. I have already tried disk cleanup and checked for malware, but the issue remains unresolved.
