So, i installed Windows 10 from here http:// and downloaded it on a flash drive, then installed it on my computer, but now i want to Factory Reset my computer. That means the computer will be like when i bought it and only have the programs and settings that came with the computer. Can i do it with no problems now that i've Upgraded or will i get Windows 8.1 back, because i DON'T want that.

If you Upgraded from your original Win 8.1, there should be a Windows.old. This will be available for 30 days, to go back to that WI 8.1

Or...if the laptop originally have a factory reset partition, and you did not wipe this out during your WIn 10 upgrade or install...this should still be available. Instruction on how to invoke this should be in your user manual.
