Hello all, this might not be the best place, but Google searches have confused me.

I have a Motion Computing Windows tablet, that has a cracked and partially damaged screen.

It still powers up and boots into my user profile.

I want to either sell it for parts or donate it, but I would like to restore it to factory settings.

I might have found a place to do this on the tablet in the control panel. The problem is, because 1/4 of the screen is damaged, I cannot properly or completely navigate through the settings, because they stylus cannot input on the part of the broken screen.

I do not know what to do.

Should I try to reset it? or just sell or donate it as is?

I have removed any sensitive and most of my documents of mine from it, and uninstalled my programs, but my user profile is still on it.


edit, I managed to begin the recovery and restore process, but I could not get past selecting a keyword for input, there is not keyboard because it is a tablet. I tried to pick US from the dropdown with the stylus pen that came with the tablet, but it would not work.

So I just powered it down by pressing the power button.

All around the boarder of the screen there has been sticky stuff coming out, and I have been trying to remove it, but it is very hard to do.
