NOTE: These will only work if you can get into the system. They will not work if you can't even get into Windows.

In Windows versions prior to 10, you should be able to...

1. Go into "Control Panel" and then click "Recovery."
2. Next click "Advanced Recovery Methods."
3. Now click "Return your computer to factory condition."

If you cannot get into Windows, then on booting the computer try hitting/holding the F11 key to get into "System Recovery". Should that not work, then the option may not be available on your device. If that is the case, then you will need a CD/DVD/USB with the installation media.

Where do I find an USB with the installation media?

You would have to either create one (or have someone create it for you).

You can see if it is downloadable (free) from the manufacturer's site. If not then you can download the needed software here... https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download

Or you can contact the manufacturer about purchasing the installation media.

There is no option for windows Xp, should I use windows 7 or?

That I can't answer. Only you can choose which you want to use. If you need to get a copy of XP that you may have to do some searching for. Unless you know someone who has it.
