I think you are wanting to restore to the factory settings to do this:

Power down your system. Tap F8 repeatedly when you power up until you get to the advanced boot options.

Select "Repair your computer" and press Enter.

Select the last option, Dell DataSafe/Dell Factory Restore. Press Enter and login if required, follow through with the prompts and warnings.

Thanks
