    Windows 7 Factory Reset

    So I have a Windows 7 Pro and I want to factory reset it but its says I need a installation disc to do so. I dont have the disc and I've tried searching but I found nothing solid to help me. I was wondering if anyone here had any ways to do it without needing a disc?

    I think you can burn an illegal copy and use it as a disk.
