How to wipe a laptop and reinstall properly
Hi,
I can't find anything on the web that explains how to wipe a laptop and re-install windows 7 and all of the drivers and utilities. If you have a step-by-step guide please can you share it with me.
I have a Dell XPS 15
Thanks

Hi,
I would suggest you to perform a PC Restore by following the steps on the link mentioned below:

NOTE: PC Restore may delete personal data in the computer.
In case PC Restore does not work, you can reinstall the Operating System by performing the steps on Dell Article 266457 on www.support.dell.com
Please click the link mentioned below to open the article:
