Dell Factory Image Restore returns your hard drive to the operating state it was in when you purchased the computer. This procedure permanently delete all data on the hard drive and remove any programs installed after you received the computer.

System Restore

The Windows operating systems provide a System Restore option which allows you to return your computer to an earlier operating state (without affecting data files)

if changes to the hardware, software, or other system settings have left the computer in an undesirable operating state. Any changes that System Restore makes to your computer are completely reversible.
