  1. Unable to Factory Reset


    So I just bought a replacement laptop, it is a HP with Windows 10.

    So originally it popped up after two weeks use saying I needed an Ethernet cable despite not having used one on the laptop before. Then after shutting it down and starting it again it told me there was a error and it would restart but before it even reached 20% of the error data it shut down.

    I switched it back on and it took me to the f11 options screen, I tried a factory reset since I've literally got nothing downloaded on it except Google chrome. It failed to do the reset and I'm stuck in a loop and unable to access the main computer.


    Any help would be appreciated, there's no damage to the laptop and it's really frustrating because it's new. I honestly only use it for Google documents.


    Again any help would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

    SURFACE PRO 3 RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULTS PROBLEM

    The camera caused a system freeze every time it was activated so I thought why not restore.

    • I attempted to reset my Surface Pro 3 to Factory defaults.
    • The Surface Pro made it to 1% then crashed.
    • Now it is in a reboot loop.

    I have tried several times and now it gives an "Unable to reset your PC. A required drive partition is missing" error.

    Do you have any suggestions on how to make it work again?
