How to restore Windows 7 to factory settings?

i want to restore my netbook back to factory settings. it is an acer aspire one with 11.6inch screen 2gb ram 250gb hdd.. anyways, it used to run on Vista home basic, but when windows 7 came out i bought the Windows 7 Home Premium UPGRADE online with a student discount and I decided to install it on this netbook. I installed the windws 7 online, did not use any type of cd drive since netbooks dont have it. so Acers have this built in software where it can set the computer bac to factory settings but my concern is WILL I LOSE WINDOWS 7 IF I CHOOSE THIS OPTION? WILL IT RESTORE THE COMPUTER “TO FACTORY SETTINGS” MEANING BACK TO VISTA?

I wanna know how I can just restoreit back to factory settings and keep windows 7

thanks
