    Hello waqarazam

    Try to press F11 as the laptop is booting .

    : ADDED :
    If that doesn't work try these steps below

    Turn the laptop on and tab the F8 key, until you reach the Advanced Boot Options menu

    Using the ↓ Down Arrow , select Repair Your Computer and press Enter

    Select your language and click Next

    Log in as an Administrative user, and click OK ( if needed )

    Click Dell Factory Image Restore from System Recovery Options

    From the Dell Factory Image Restore window, click Next

    Click the check box that says: Yes, reformat hard drive and restore system software to factory
    condition

    Click Next. Wait while your computer is restored to the default factory configuration

    Click FINISH once done .
