Restore to factory setting fails
I have all the disks with me.
The OS disk, the driver and utility disk.
I put the OS disk in the drive. I start the pc, I press F8 vigorously.
I can not restore it to a certain point because no such point have been made. (recovery point)
How do I delete all the information on my pc, so that i can proceed with instalment.
The end goals is factory settings.
dell xps 15 l502x

Since you have your Windows disc, you can perform a clean installation of the operating system. Please follow my link below for the OS installation procedure.

Step4 is where it goes wrong.
There are no options like that.
Do I need to install any software like dell data restore and where could i find it?
I probably didn't install them when I restored evrything to factory seconds before.
