Hi Here Comes Bod,

Some manufacturers may install a recovery partition on the hard drive. To confirm whether your computer has a recovery partition, you will need to check their website.  You should also find instructions on how to perform the factory restore. 

System Restore is a less drastic option and will roll you computer back to a date prior to the updates that were installed.
