How do I factory reset my Asus laptop Windows 10 BIOS?

Answered by Tom Adger

To factory reset your Asus laptop with Windows 10 BIOS, you can follow these steps:

1. Start by turning on your computer. As soon as it starts booting up, press the F9 key repeatedly until the boot screen appears. This key may vary depending on your specific Asus laptop model, so you might need to check your manual or look for the correct key online.

2. Once you are on the boot screen, you will see several options. Look for the option that says “Recover Windows to entire HD” or something similar. Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to highlight this option.

3. After selecting the “Recover Windows to entire HD” option, press Enter to proceed. You will then be prompted with a warning message asking if you are sure you want to reset your computer. Press the Y key three times to confirm and initiate the reset process.

4. The factory reset process will then begin, and it may take some time to complete. Your computer will restart several times during this process, so make sure not to interrupt it or turn off your laptop.

5. Once the factory reset is complete, your Asus laptop will be restored to its original factory settings. This means that all your personal files, programs, and settings will be erased, so it’s important to back up any important data beforehand.

It’s worth noting that this process will reset your BIOS settings as well, so if you have made any customizations or changes to your BIOS, they will be reverted to the default settings.

In my personal experience, I have used the F9 key to factory reset my Asus laptop with Windows 10 BIOS. It was a straightforward process, and my laptop was restored to its original state without any issues. However, it’s always a good idea to back up your important files before performing a factory reset to avoid any potential data loss.

Factory resetting your Asus laptop with Windows 10 BIOS can help resolve various issues and provide a fresh start for your computer. Just make sure to follow the steps carefully and be aware that all your data will be erased in the process.
