    Easiest way to restore is using Alien Respawn. As a recommendation back up any important files before you run it.

    Don't forget that you need to have the drivers prepared before doing the format, in case the network cards are missing drivers to go on the internet.
    Ask a friend if you don't feel confident about this, it might save you a lot of frustration.

    This is always a good thing to do, although in this case as he will be using AlienRespawn he'll have the initial drivers loaded from factory.

    Here's the list of drivers and the correct order to install them, you may want to double check the list in case your missing any.
