i can't seem to restore my pc back to factory default, any help?

1. Check any manual furnished with the system from the manufacturer.

2. Look in Help and Support from the Start menu, major OEM's will have
specialized help information telling how to restore to original shipped
state.

3. Check the manufacturers web site support pages for manuals or tutorials
pertaining to restoring the system.
