Today is my 1st post and I a not sure if I am in the right place .
I did a PC Reset , I guess some computers changed the name from Factory Restore.
I wanted the laptop to be out of the box condition.
I have Window 8....and somehow my friend screwed up my computer, he borrowed it and went to a place where he thought he might find a unsecured wifi, he didn`t .......When he brought it back it would not find my Wifi , in fact it showed no networks available and when I looked around it said Wifi is off, and another place related to the Router, it said no hardware......So so I couldn`t figure out how
to fix it, so that is why the PC reset.
So my questions are , the Reset took 7 hour hours, which I thought was unusual, but then again this was my 1st time reseting a Windows 8 computer. Was that to long of a time? It did finish eventually .....however I can not put short cuts on my desktop , it says check disc to see if full.
And should my Bing Searches still be there? Searches for lawn care, and other things related show up in my Bing Search as search history?? Shouldn`t they have been erased?
Lastly, the PC gave 2 options to do the reset, 1 way was in the settings on the char bar, I just learned it was called that today. And the other way was the power button and the zero button which is what I used but I didn`t hold the zero button down long enough to hear the beep , although the directions ot continue did show up.
I am sorry for this long post. I will get better.
Thank You
