No, really they won't. The best that will happen is Currys send it to a Tosh certified repair shop as Tosh doesn't do domestic repairs they subby them all out.0 -
If they have instructed you to wipe it then do it, there is no reason to start messing about using the recovery partition as it will be setup for some one else to use a waste of your time. The laptop would get reimaged from toshiba if it was needed to be checked.Kind Regards,

They have not advised us to do anything
It is just a wise thing to do - when getting a PC looked at by anyone - particularly Currys !!
You never know who will have access to it - and the personal data !!0
