Please refer to the following content on how to restore an MSI notebook to its factory default settings using the built-in F3 Recovery function

Note:

- This method applies only to models running the original MSI factory image. It will not function if the OS has been reinstalled or disk partitions have been modified. If your recovery partition is damaged or removed, please contact your nearest MSI Service Center for factory system restoration.

- The hard drive will be formatted during the recovery process. Please back up your personal data before proceeding.

- Do not perform any other operations or disconnect the power during the recovery process.

 

 

 

1. Connect the power adapter and press the power button to turn on the computer. When the MSI logo appears, repeatedly press the F3 key to enter the system recovery screen.
