i am careful about what i download but i have downloaded a few audio production suites that have come with a load of junk that even when uninstalled has KILLED my pcs performance and i think it is easier to just back up my files and reboot the whole pc.
can i do this without a restore disk?
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.
