If your unsure and still have your discs with factory settings. Save everything as back up ( all files, folders, docs) any other apps you may have aquired since your bought your machine. Then just reset your laptop back to factory settings. That way anything that was on there before will be wiped and you can start afresh

NOTE: Any apps you have added, make sure you still have the discs for before restoring
