Windows 10: How Can I restore my computer back to factory new condition?

How can I restore my new (used) Dell laptop computer back to factory new condition? It had windows 10 put on it but originally, was windows 7. I tried to get F8 to open up so I can run the restore process - but it stubbornly refuses to do so. In fact, only F2 and I think - F12 - opens up when I press those F keys. Don't worry about my backing up files I wanted saved - I already did that to a flash drive. I read and listened to advice online on how to do the restore process - but no luck, so far. The demonstrator's computers were different from mine.

I ran the recovery process I saw in the Control panel, under the heading, "Backup and Restore (WIndows 7) since I couldn't get to the one that does a factory new one. After it was through, I see only one program listed in programs in the Control panel. Odd. But the blue bar in my PC shows it looks as full as before, if I remember right.

I am not able to get online any better than I had been before the process. I'll appreciate if you can help me figure out how to get that restore back to factory new condition - running.

Revert to factory condition after installation of WIN 10


Is it possible to still revert a PC to the original factory condition using the factory restore partition after Windows 10 has been installed or does the installation of WIN 10 prevent that? None of the other options to do a restore back to the original WIN 7 (as purchased new) are available to me.
