What do I need to back up before factory resetting my laptop?
Hello
I want to restore my laptop back to it's factory settings. I know how to do this however I want to make sure I don't lose anything in the process.
I have the Operating System Recovery DVD which came with my laptop and I also have a Drivers, Manuals and Utilities DVD which came with the laptop.
I have copied my favourites onto an external HDD.
I have moved all my files (such as music, videos, pictures, word documents etc) onto an external HDD.
I have copied all the installation files for the programs I have onto an external HDD.
Is there anything else I need to do? For example do I need to take a copy of any of the OS files or are they all on the aforementioned DVDs?
Thanks
