Default I want to make my dell laptop brand new, Help!!!


I'm not very good with computers, but ive had mine for 2 years and its
getting slow and i have not had any protection on it in a while. my
laptop is a dell inspiron 1501 and i need help. i want to just reset it
and start over as if it was brand new in the box. i was told that i just
need to put in my operating system disk and it will restart everything.
first is this true then, second if i do put it in, what risk do i take
and third, what do i need to do after that. please help or point me in
the direction i need to go in.
thanks chris
