Can this laptop be restored to factory settings and/or taken back to an earlier time?

Simple, go to start up menu, I use search box and just type in "System Restore" and up pops menu that is pretty much self-explanatory. I have factory installed Windows Seven. Restore is much easier than it was on Vista.

battery is not meant to be replaced, so that usually means there is going to be a process in doing so (removing entire back panel and such). I suggest taking it to repair shop.. or look for a tut online. The tutorial may not be for this specific model, but they have videos for similar models that show you how to gain access to the insides(for ssd, battery change, memory, etc.)

Hello, Yes the only change to this laptop is the hard drive has been upgraded. Please contact us if you have any other questions. Thank you, Jesse

Doubt it. They don't really do that anymore, and it's not listed under the "What's in the box" section. More likely it comes with a restore partition.

Nope! Asus says that you just need to put the original HDD back in before sending your laptop in for servicing.

Mine came loaded with Windows 8 Pro, which is downgradable to Windows 7 Pro. You will need to find someone who know what they're doing with computers, or call HP and request Windows 7 restore media. The laptop is a very good machine though.

Did you back your original operating system to flash drive. The manual for this laptop had you doing this in case of hard drive failure or changing the hard drive.

Try a "battery re-boot:' Shut down the PC, unplug it, remove the battery, plug in the laptop, boot up, shut it down again, unplug it, insert the battery, plug it in, and reboot. I'm not sure what operating system you're using, but to be safe, generate a restore point.

You can factory restore it according to the manual and follow the instructions to reset the codes.

It is factory refurbished laptop, factory sealed box comes with the laptop, its adapter and its manuals. The laptop also comes with 90 days Toshiba warranty.

Yes, but I don't know what it is. Mine was revoked because I replaced a simple part (4 screws and 2 connections) by myself. The part also took a month to get to me, so I can imagine how long it would take if I sent the laptop in to them.

There is Recovery Partition on the Hard Drive, when you first start the laptop it gives you an option to create your own.

They told me that the boards are either refurbished or pulled out of units that didn't sell. The one they sent me worked for about 5 minutes before it crashed. I could never get the laptop to stay running with it so I sent it back. I ended up buying a new laptop and scrapped the hp, which sucked because those were expensive computers when they were new. As far as whether it will work in your model, you can probably e-mail the sell with that question if you're still interested. They were okay to work with and were willing to refund my money.
