Hi all, I have an old Medion E7222 laptop. Great machine, have thoroughly enjoyed using it for quite some years now. It is unfortunately time to upgrade and move on to a newer faster machine. As part of this, I'm donating this machine to a local kids charity. what I need to do though is factory reset the machine to wipe all my data, but leave the original Windows (7 - Home Premium) OS in place. I no longer have the original installation DVD's, but there is a "Recovery" partition on the hard drive, containing what appears to be "factory" image files (see photo attached). I have no idea how to use these however... I've tried pressing F11 at startup to enter recovery mode, but the laptop just hangs if I do this! Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers   Artie ...
