Reset/Recovery is stored on a special partition on the hard drive. You have to be fast to hit the F-key or it will skip it.
Watch the screen carefully when booting to see some 'F-key' (like F11 or F12) that indicates Factory Reset or Recovery before GRUB Menu loads (or before Ubuntu starts). 'Factory Reset' or 'Recovery' is a BIOS-level option you may see when booting the computer. Removing Ubuntu is a different task than resetting or recovering Windows.ġ. If you still have Windows, and if you can boot on it, then you don't need the steps below (although they would still work too). How it will work depends on what you did when you installed Ubuntu. There are generally 3 ways to return to Windows.
