Answer 1

your laptop usually comes with the factory restore. If it doesn't you can call Dell and request the factory disc. Its like $8

If not use a clean windows disc and start from fresh. You'll still have to search for the drivers though.

Answer 2

You have to restart your computer. When the Dell screen comes out (the one with the Dell logo), press F8 a couple of times. And some sort of screen should pop up allowing you to restore to factory settings. But then, that option would have to be already built-in by Dell when you purchased your computer. If your computer didn't come with the restore factory option, you won't be able to do it.
