    Original Factory Recovery


    I have a Compaq Presario CQ61 laptop that I did a clean install of Windows 10 TR 9926.
    Is there anyway to get back to Drive D: which has the original factory programs etc. on it and re install it and take off
    windows 10.

    Reseting my toshiba laptop windows 10

    What you likely have on your recovery drive is a copy of Windows 10.

    The recovery drive is unlikely to restore it back to its originally factory state with the original programs.

    Windows 10 Defender not allowing 3rd party installs? (in Notepad++, VLC, LightZone detecting suspected malware UACTrigger.A, Zompaque.A, PoenonFOP1)

    To clarify, these Factory recovery disks were the ones I was suggested to make after the laptop's first boot (after purchase, no original Windows installation disk was included).

    Hi Dude I saw the video and that does not work anymore. When I was able to envoke it I got the system refresh type of fix. It seems that the clean install changes how F11 functions. I thought there was some saving of windows.old but perhaps that does not take place in a clean install.
    Thank You

    Are you trying to go back to the original OS? WIn 7? or 8?

    I am trying to go back to Windows 7 Home Premium. It's an old laptop we used for traveling so nothing lost.
    I thought I would do a clean install of windows 10 tp and it was 9926
    I then thought that perhaps when the free version is offered of 10 that I should have 7 installed so that whatever they
    check to verify the offer of FREE that there would be no problems.
    then I find that f11 did not work. I also tried to follow Brinks instructions in copying the recovery partition and got msg. that some file or files were missing then asking for the media which I lost some time ago and never replaced.

    This may help you but you have to get your product key ready : Softwaredownload

    Good luck!

    Edit: Not sure if this applies to OEM though.

    badrobot. I do have the key put have go back to Compaq for help.
    I see the note from Ault? that there intention is to be able to go thru all the updates and I would have 10 when done.
    Is he saying to just leave 9926 on the laptop and continue with the releases.
    I guess I will mark it solved for now.
