[SOLVED] Can I restore windows 10 if I do a factory reset?

[JorgePal]

I installed Ubuntu in my laptop, I got rid of Windows 10, and Linux is the only OS in it now.
If I do a factory reset of the laptop, will I get windows 10 back?
Or, even if it came within the laptop, it is gone forever now?

The way most OEMs setup a factory reset is they have a partition on your drive that holds the original setup. If thats still there then you have a chance but if you wiped the drive when installing Ubuntu then you wont be able to do a factory reset. In that case you will have to install 10 from scratch:

The Windows 10 upgrade process drags old files, settings, and programs from your previous Windows system to your new one.

There is a good guide.

otherwise you can also contact your OEM and see if they can provide you a recovery disk.

Oh, I see
I doubt it's still there but well.

Thanks for the clarification.
