Well some PCs can only be set back if they have a saved date there. If somethings wrong with it I recommend trying to fix it first with [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] if that dosent work to reset to factory setting you need a boot disc that usally comes with your PC or you can reboot windows if you have that disc. If you dont have one ask who ever made the PC if they will send you one, you can also make your own if your good with PCs

What operating system are you currently on?

You can reset your PC on Windows 8/8.1 which will take your PC back to factory settings.


To reset your PC
    1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
    (If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)

    2. Tap or click Update and recovery, and then tap or click Recovery.

    3. Under Remove everything and reinstall Windows, tap or click Get started.

    4. Follow the instructions on the screen.


Note
    You'll be asked to choose whether you want to erase data quickly or thoroughly. If you choose to erase data quickly, some data might be recoverable using special software. If you choose to erase data thoroughly, this will take longer but it makes recovering data less likely.
