I Was Going To Restore MY Computer So I Wanted To Know Would I Still Have Microsoft Office Windows & Internet Explorer. Answer Need Soon Please My Computer Is Really Slow I Think Its Getting A Virus . I Have A Dell Desktop THANKS :)

Answer 1

Before resulting to such drastic methods.

Download Avast and Malware Bytes in normal mode then boot up in safe mode and Run them .



Slow computers dont necessarily mean a Virus there are many reasons why a computer become slow .

From Running to many tabs ,Malware having to many programmes open at the same time .

etc et.



But if you factory restore your computer you may have to download the drivers again or use the Drivers utility Disc that came with the Desktop.

Without the drivers loaded you wont be able to get on the internet through an Ethernet cable .

Did Microsoft office come installed if so it will be still be there .If not then you will have to reinstall it .

Answer 2

Restoring to factory defaults is a drastic measure. If you did something that suddenly made your computer begin to perform badly, or even if you didn't, you should try using "System Restore" in the control panel area first.



Read about System Restore. Eat a good meal, block out some time, and plan to sit and work on this for at least an hour. You should have a log book (physical notebook) for every computer you own. Keep a written log of what you do and how things turn out. Best case, it will be fixed in 15 minutes. Your log book will become a good reference tool after the years when similar problems present.



Edit: Back it up! You should ensure that your data files (Microsoft documents, images, iTunes library, etc.), essentially everything in your (and your other users'), MyDocuments folder is backed up to an external hard drive before attempting to fix your computer. In fact, you should periodically back up your files even when things are going smoothly. The $80 you spend on an external hard drive today can save you $800, hours of grief, and irreplaceable files tomorrow.



Also, follow good advice about antivirus and malware removal, as given above.

Answer 3

If you do a factory restore from the disks or hard drive it will wipe everything and return it to what you had when you first got your computer. If it came with office, then it will be there. For sure windows and internet explorer will be there.
