I have a Lenovo laptop and need to perform a factory reset. I'm unsure about the steps to do this safely without causing any issues.

Could someone guide me on how to reset my Lenovo laptop to its factory settings?

Are there any precautions I should take, like backing up files or ensuring certain settings?
