Hi everyone, I recently purchased an Asus G750JM RoG laptop and was concerned with some of the issues I've been reading about the factory reset procedure on the newer models. On the older models I've had to factory reset it was as easy as pressing F9 on boot and selecting to reset the laptop to factory settings, no boot disc/USB or Windows CD key was required, these computers ran on Windows 7.
My computer came with Windows 8.1 factory installed and I had some questions regarding factory reseting this laptop in case it's required in the future. Can I still press F9 while booting and factory reset this computer without needing any sort of recovery CD or my Windows CD key as with past models?
Another question regarding the new "refresh" and "reset" options built into Windows 8 and 8.1, is the reset basically the same thing as the Asus Factory reset on the older models or is it a different method? It seems that on almost all the guides I've looked at people are having issues with needing a recovery CD and their CD key, is there a difference in the two options? Does the windows 8.1 reset still work off the Asus Recovery Partition or if the need arises should I boot into F9? Thanks for the help everyone.
