So, I started a factory reset through windows settings on my laptop while in college, not realising that it would take ages. My battery on my laptop doesn't work, so when I unplugged it all to go home, the computer instantly turns off.

Theres a couple of questions here,

  1. What would happen when I turn it back on?
  2. What, if I need to, would I have to do to make my computer work again?

  • @LegacyCoding depends on which phase it was at the time of power-off, if it was in preparing phase - then it might boot again else i do not think it will; (just turn on your laptop to see - how lucky you are!!) ; my suggestion - grab a win USB and install

  • What part of my question was confusing? Did you use an OEM function to restore the system to a factory setting or did you Reset Windows from within Windows using the built-in feature. What you used will make a huge different to the answer to this question. A comment that simply indicates "???" is not clear. You should edit your question and specify exactly what you used.
