hello everyone in this video I'm going
to be showing you how to factory reset
your Dell Inspiron 15 back to its
factory condition so this is the
Inspiron 15 5000 series and model 5 5 5
8 okay so I'm going to be showing you
how to completely reset this laptop back
to its factory condition you may want to
do this if you have some viruses and the
computer is running very slow or if
maybe you forgot your password and you
can't log into the computer by doing the
hard to factory reset you'll be able to
start using the computer again alright
so first off I'm going to show you how
to do the reset through the settings
here ok so first thing we're going to
need to do is you're going to scroll
down here toward says I'm Cortana and
you're going to going to search or is
the search bar okay so you're going to
click on it for search and then you're
going to type in reset ok and you're
going to see these options up here the
first one is only you're going to choose
reset this PC it's going to take you to
the reset options so you're going to
select the first one reset this PC get
started ok here it's going to ask you
once again for other options keep my
files as option number one or remove
everything the option you want to select
is remove everything the second one and
the process will start I'm going to
cancel it but that's how you would reset
it to do these settings all right so now
if you have a password and you can get
into it I'm going to show you now what
you're going to need to do
in order to reset it to start using it
all right so let me go ahead and show
you so for example here we would be at
the login screen all right so let's put
in a password all right so as you can
see the password is incorrect so it's
not working all right so all you're
going to do here is to do the hard reset
you're going to hold it the shift key
you're going to hold the shift key and
while you're holding the shift key
you're going to scroll to the power
button over here and you're going to
select restarts and you're going to
continue to hold the shift key all right
so it's going to take you to these
options here or it's going to let you
choose the option to begin the reset so
here you're going to select the
troubleshoot option down here okay so
once you select troubleshoot it's going
to give you these three options here
reset this PC factory image restore or
Advanced Options so we're going to
select reset this PC okay here it's
going to ask it's going to give you two
more options once again so you're going
to select the second one remove
everything and the process should begin
also remember to back up anything that
you want to keep if you can because this
is going to erase everything on the
computer and also it's a good idea to
plug in the computer to the power outlet
so that the computer doesn't turn off
during the process
all right so after a couple seconds it's
going to give you these two options here
just remove my files or fully clean the
drive I always suggest going with the
second option because we want to fully
clean the computer from any viruses that
it has and completely erase everything
on the computer to make sure it starts
running smoothly again just like when
you first got it all right so let's
select the second option and here it's
going to ask you to confirm by hitting
reset so let's do that
you
all right so as you can see it's
resetting this PC 1% so I'm going to
stop recording and I'll keep recording
when it's close to 100% okay so after
the resetting process gets to 100% it's
going to automatically begin installing
Windows so now we're just going to wait
till this gets to 100% and then the
factory reset will be complete so I'll
show you once it gets to hundred-percent
all right so as you can see the the
computers at the setup the initial setup
where you go through all the different
options to select your language and
location so you can see that computer's
been completely reset back to its
factory condition so I hope this video
