FAQ's
Q: What if it says that I need to free up additional space?
A: You can try deleting a lot of your needless data as seen here; • How To Clear Cache - D... . If that does not work, then you will have to install Windows new.

If you cant create your own, you may have to purchase it. You can see an example of a good install media USB in the Repair Tools list here; www.amazon.com/shop/pcmonkey.
Q: What are some other Function keys that may work?
A: Usually, I use F11 or F9. Some viewers have used F12. Lenovo Ideapad 330 has used F10.
Some viewers have to use a pin to press a 'reset style' button on the side. This could be the case if you have an Ideapad S340, a s145,

You saved me! My Lenovo symbol would turn on and then stay black. I did the reset and it took a lonnggg time but worked!! Oh and it gave me the option to save “my stuff” during reset or wipe it. I didn’t have anything on it since I use a separate network for work so I did a full wipe. Thank you so much! With Covid-19 happening there was a long wait to get my laptop looked at and I work from home everyday. Lifesaver!! 🙂

just to help anyone, i couldn’t find the f button to reset it. But there is a small hole at the bottom of the left side of the laptop. It is next to the long hole ( idk what it is lol). You will need a pin or a pick to touch the button. After that it will come up with options, pick the one with the screwdriver on it then factory reset. (I have a lenovo ideapad 320) right now it is resetting again. If i remember to comment on this i will tell you if it works :)
Did you do this while iit was off or on
@@triedszn2587 while its off
Thank u do much !!!!!!!! u saved me
That just brought me back to the "your screwed menu"

@@PC_Monkey does the hard reset take a while to do?
@@pineconemangaming5008 It can, ya. Depending on your computer specs it can take quite a while.
@@PC_Monkey thanks man
@@PC_Monkey also I’m looking for other geeky friends do u happen to have discord?
Thank you sir. I can reset now my Lenovo laptop. Do you have videos or link about essential softwares that needed to install into the pc after resetting it? Thanks a lot and have a great day ahead! God Bless😊
Glad to hear :) There is no essential software needed for windows 10 to operate safely. If you would like to add things for specific uses you are planning on, then thats up to you :)
I accidentaly installed a something that made my computer unable to open internet browsers. This helped me alot.
Thank you!
Edit: Finally finished!!!

On a service call with Lenovo I was instructed to hold down the relevant entry key first and then press the power button while continuing to hold the Function key (in my case F12) until the machine entered the BIOS or whichever menu. It worked for me.
I’m just tryna figure out which button I need to press lol. I may be doomed to never use this laptop again..
I used this your method. But i got a whole different menu.
I cannot find my "key"
Thank you your information was helpfull. I used f12, f10 qnd then f11 was a rescue.
Appreciate your Comperehsive information

Hi! Thank you for this, it has been useful with the boot loop my old Lenovo ThinkPad is in. I have some questions before this step, should I save all my docs into a drive? And, can I do that even if I can't get the computer to start?
Yes, you should back up your data before performing a Factory Reset if you dont want to loose data. However, if you cant get your computer to start, then you wont be able to. If there is data on your Drive that you wish to save, you would have to bring it to a computer shop and have them try to save the data from the drive first.
Thank you so much, this helped a lot! I was very confused. :)

For those that dont know.if you using a lenovo s145 on the right side of the laprop next to the earphones port is a small reset hole that you will need to press using a small pin then it will reset and follow the options

When I reset and click remove everything, "There was a problem resetting your pc"- it appears after reset.
If the reset wont finish, you would have to reinstall the operating system fresh as shown here; ruclips.net/video/Wu0c8wR5Ltk/видео.html
Dont worry, its free :)

@@PC_Monkey late reply, but i disabled the qualso thing on my lenovo ideapad5 and accidently turned it off, it goes on the industrial gray error fixing screen, whatever you call it. Can I factory reset from that screen?

Thank you sooooo much i was afraid my pc was completely broken after all other tutorials i followed failed turns out i just had to press power and f12 and ive been trying to fix this fir the past 2 days
Glad your all set :) Always here if needed !!
@@PC_Monkey the same problem happen again today but now the same steps arent fixing it,a light on the right of the 3 lights on the left side of my laptop, flashes once when i press f12 whilst pressing on the power key
@@tristenakintomide6064 Are the lights the only signs of life when you turn it on? No motherboard or hard drive sounds? No fan noise? Nothing on the screen?
screen turns on and tajes me to bios, i managed to fix it though when by pressing f12 with the power key when it showed american mega trends on the screen the light on the far right indicates the connected os on startup i think
