xps 12. How do I factory reset (Windows 8) after upgrading windows 10?
I want to reset my xps 12 laptop to factory, which shipped with windows 8. I first tried the Dell Backup and Recovery. I saw the only recovery choice was the factory image, which is what I want. It rebooted, however then it seems Windows 10 stuff takes over and I can't factory reset. I can't roll back to 8 since I'm past 30 days in Windows 10. Not sure what to try next.
