Do I Need Any Sort Of Disk To Restore Windows To Factory Settings?

I can't remember if my Asus K55a came with an operating disk or not but I would like to restore my computer to the factory settings, start over, and can't find the operating disk if it came with this computer. Can I still run this restore option without any sort of disk? thank you

Start your Laptop and press the F9 key on your keyboard until you see a loading screen.
The restoration program prepares the files needed for the operation.
A message appears asking if you want to perform the operation. You will lose all files on your machine.
Confirm by clicking ?.
The restore process is done automatically, without any human intervention.
At the end of restoration, the machine will reboot on its own and make configurations.
A restart is performed again, and you find yourself on the setup process of Windows, same as the first boot after buying the Laptop.
