By restoring the factory settings of your computer, you are essentially returning the data on your computer to the state that it was in when you first bought it (or installed Windows 7, if you had another operating system previously).
Restoring factory settings can be very useful for those who wish to sell their computer, or to pass it on to another user. However, those interested in doing this should ensure that they save backup copies of any important files and data; once you have restored the factory settings, your data may be removed from computer.
