If you’re having problems with your PC, you can try to reset it. It’s faster and more convenient than reinstalling Windows from scratch or using your manufacturer’s recovery partition. However, although factory reset will help to reinstall Windows, it will delete your files, settings, and apps—except for the apps that came with your PC. So well, if you don’t want to lose any data after factory resetting, you had to back up all needed data before resetting your PC.

Backup Files before Factory Resetting PC

Let’s start with a true example from Seven Forum, as shown below:

Hello

I want to restore my laptop back to its factory settings. I know how to do this however I want to make sure I don’t lose anything in the process.

I have the Operating System Recovery DVD which came with my laptop and I also have a Drivers, Manuals and Utilities DVD which came with the laptop.

I have copied my favorites onto an external HDD.

I have moved all my files (such as music, videos, pictures, word documents etc.) onto an external HDD.

I have copied all the installation files for the programs I have onto an external HDD.

Is there anything else I need to do? For example do I need to take a copy of any of the OS files or are they all on the aforementioned DVDs?

Thanks
