someone correct me if I'm off base, but when I reset an '07 gateway xp laptop to factory settings, it took 'hours' of updates to bring the old XP back to 2013 ststus. W7 will require some time since it is at least 4 yrs old.
also, for days after, special timed updates from MS need to occur
we have cox cable hi speed internet
What do you mean by "reset"? Are you referring to the using the restore disks usually furnished by the manufacturer? These take the computer's HD back to the original status when it was purchased.
