How to make my computer like the day i bought it

[help2013]

It is a toshiba.. Kids have downloaded junk and now it runs slow and I dont know how to remove some of the down loads so I want to set it back to new and start over

Not to be too funny with you, but do you have the manuals that came in the box with the laptop? and you should of also got some recovery Dvd`s or Cd`s to do the job.
You know it helps if you read the manual you know, its all there if your just not too lazy to read them. I suggest you do. Quicker than asking on the forum.

Slightly amazed it has not crossed your mind, or did you throw them out?, because belive it or not there there for such a thing you know.

If you don't have or cann't find your recovery disk contact Toshiba and order them. When you get them put them in the dvd drive an fallow the instructions.

NO need to be sarcastic. Have you made a back up? if so just use that you can also format it or reinstal the windows.

There is a good chance that there is a recovery option available in the bios on boot up. HP's have the option to do a factory reset from recovery options in the bios. I imagine Toshiba is similar.

Just give the computer to your kids and get yourself a new model.

or format the thing, fresh. get an ssd while you're at it, get an external hdd also

Try this. Your Toshiba should have a built-in recovery partition assuming you have never wiped and reinstalled in the past.
