So majority of us techies know laptop comes with its recovery partition and so forth, but it's now the norm for youngsters to jump to anything they see or hear. The whole ridiculous excitement.
Recently, I was given a laptop that a youngster installed Windows 10 Technical Preview on. A message pops up after the laptop start up about the expired date.
It is not the first time I've seen this, but after reaching the point where you select format or next [after inserting Windows disc and selecting various options]...I'd see recovery partition and so forth.
Is there another way to recover back to its original settings? I've tapped on F9 (to access options on an Asus laptop)...I'd see troubleshooting, bla bla bla. Selected Advanced....Reset.... and the final message was that it could not find an image. Laptop came with Windows 8. The Window.Old folder was seen though.
Did my google search. Could not find a solution. Ended up deleting all partitions and programmed the laptop from the disc. Sigh.
Just thought to myself that maybe I could have deleted all the Windows 10 folders and replace it with the Windows.old files. [You know just to experiment].
Anyone experience this???
