To perform a factory reset, restart your laptop and press F8 to access the Advanced Boot Options menu. Select 'Repair Your Computer' and follow the on-screen instructions to restore the system to factory settings. Ensure you back up your data as this process will erase all data on the device.

To improve battery life, reduce screen brightness, turn off unnecessary programs running in the background, disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not needed, and use the power-saving mode. Regularly update your BIOS and drivers for optimal performance.
Connect your laptop to the external monitor using a compatible cable (HDMI or VGA). Press the 'Fn' key along with 'F8' to toggle between display modes. Select 'Extend' or 'Duplicate' based on your preference. Ensure the external monitor is powered on.
Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled by checking the Wi-Fi icon in the taskbar. Restart the router and laptop. Update the Wi-Fi driver through the Device Manager. Run the Windows Network Troubleshooter for automated fixes. If issues persist, reset network settings.
Visit the Dell Support website and enter your service tag to find the latest BIOS update. Download the update file and run it as an administrator. Follow the on-screen instructions carefully and ensure your laptop is connected to power during the process.

Turn off the laptop and disconnect it from any power source. Use a can of compressed air to remove debris between the keys. Gently wipe the surface with a microfiber cloth slightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol for a thorough clean.
