How to reboot my compaq laptop
Well, to reboot means to turn it off and back on. You should be able to do that.
as soon as you start the laptop on the first screen you should see 'press F10 to enter Recover' or something simular, press the F10 key, or it might be F2, then follow the instructions. if you want to 'restore to factory settings' there should be an option there to do so. restoring to factory settings will remove all files and everything on the laptop and restore it to how it was when you first bought it. if you cant manage to restore it to factory settings, just google 'compaq factory settings'
