Restoring Computer

poshchatterbox

Hopefully some-one may be able to help me

I have a computer which had Vista on, but I didn't like that operating system and I installed windows 7., which I think has left vista on my system

But my computer has become slow, and I don't really know all the programmes on my computer some I think I don't actually need.

so I want to completely restore my computer to factory setting and actually get rid of the vista completely, but when I go onto advanced management system it wont allow me to factory restore- and its driving me mad

Is there a way of starting again ?

thanks for looking all views would be helpful on this matter

If you run a Factory restore, it will restore Vista to your system. So you can delete the old files manually or just back up your data and run a clean install of Windows 7.
Make and full model number of system?

English please.

Did you install Windows 7 as an upgrade? There is also the option to run a clean install, removing Vista.

I've got a new laptop with Windows 8 on

I'd gladly go back to Vista
