I have a Dell Inspiron 1150 laptop that I want to donate. How do I restore it to factory settings? I've searched it on google and YouTube but I could not find what they were saying like "Repair My PC", "Reset This PC".

Hi @teejay11019
Here's a link that describes the various options you can try to factory reset a Dell laptop.
If you don't have the installation CD anymore scroll down to Restore without installation CD.
这个答案有帮助吗？

I see your problem. If you have access to one, get a Windows XP Installation disc. Insert it into the PC, then power it on and press F11 as quickly as you can, repeatedly. You should get some boot options, and click the one that includes "CD" or "DVD Drive." After you setup the computer, you are ready to go. Don't add a password, just add a simple account with no password. Name it "User" as a placeholder. after you get to the home screen, your files should be removed and you can donate the PC.
If this didn't work, please reply and I can help, as I have a Dell Latitude D530 running XP and I can help, due to these laptops being similar.
Really hope this helps!
