Before starting the process, it is important to note that factory resetting will delete all of your documents, photos, videos, music, and other files stored on the computer.

Step 1: Back Up Your Files

Before you factory reset your Lenovo Windows 10 laptop, it is important to back up any important files you do not want to lose.

The Novo button is typically located on the left side of the laptop near the power button. When the Novo button is pressed, you will see a menu of options on the screen.

Step 3: Select the Factory Reset Option

Once you are in the recovery menu, you will need to select the “Factory Reset” option. This will reset your laptop to its original factory settings. Be sure to select the “Completely Restore System to Factory Defaults” option to ensure that all of your personal files are removed from the laptop.

Step 4: Confirm Your Selection

Once you have selected the “Completely Restore System to Factory Defaults” option, you will be prompted to confirm your selection. Confirm your selection by pressing the “OK” button. This will begin the factory reset process.

Step 5: Wait for the Reset to Finish

Once you have confirmed your selection, the reset process will begin. The reset process may take several minutes, so be sure to wait until the reset is finished before powering off the laptop. When the reset is finished, you will see the Lenovo logo on the screen.

Step 6: Log in to Your Account
