Resetting your MSI laptop is the final resort if you encounter any severe system issues or if you are going to sell it or give it away. While the process to reset the laptop is easy for most devices, it depends on your recovery partition.
The recovery partition contains a default Windows image, which you can use to reset your Operating System (OS) anytime. If you ever remove this recovery partition, you may need to create a recovery disk to factory reset the device.
MSI Factory Restore
The MSI factory restore is MSI’s proprietary restore interface on MSI laptops. While this method does not allow you to protect your user data, it requires fewer steps and uses MSI-recommended options instead of asking you to configure them. As such, you might prefer it if you don’t want to reset Windows with a custom configuration.

you may access Windows’ own factory reset utility from within your account or theRecovery Environment. The WinRE method is useful if you can’t log in to your account at all.

Doing so will turn off the laptop and the next time anyone opens it, they can perform the initial setup themselves.
