Dell Factory Restore

eman66 · 2015-08-26 10:36:20

I have a refuribised Dell Optiplex 760 bought from Misco.ie last year. It was originally Vista but they upgraded it to Windows 7, both keys supplied. Wondering if I do a factory restore would it restore to 7 or Vista.

I'd imagine that it's the Factory installation, ie. Vista.
Assuming that you have a recovery partition on the hard drive, then that would not have been overwritten by a Windows 7 install.
