    I am trying to restore my MSI GE72 Apache Pro 6qf to factory settings. The F3 key is not doing anything at all. Can anyone tell me what I'm messing up?

    Usually if the F3 option isn't working to restore, then the partition that is there for the recovery is missing or possibly missing files/corrupt. If you have formatted your drive, or re-installed Windows, then it is mostly likely not there. You may need to do a clean install of Windows and then install drivers/utilities off of MSI's site possibly.
