Is It Safe To Stop/cancel A Factory Reset On A Laptop It's Taking Too Long? by Emyo(m): 4:54pm On Sep 06, 2014 |
Is it safe to stop/cancel a factory reset on a laptop when it's taking waaaay too long? Hi! I just got a new laptop today! Unfortunately, though, the only laptop left for the model I wanted was a store sample, which was fine with me, but the workers there said I could do a factory reset so the little stuff that they had on there would be gone (there was nothing on it, they had only just used it for the first time in the morning). I chose the option for the full (? I'm not sure of the name, whichever one was supposed to take longer) factory reset. Like, I knew it would take some time, but this is just ridiculous. It's only going up by about 1% per 45 minutes or so--I'm pretty sure it hasn't froze (it went up to 23% a few minutes ago). Thing is, it'll take me days before I can even use the laptop! I want to try and use the shorter factory reset (I should have just done that in the first place :c) . I'm a bit apprehensive to do the force shut- down (by holding down the power button) in this scenario, though. Could it possibly harm the laptop in any way if I cancel the system restore? Thank you so much~! |
