Yes using the Restore option will put it back to factory settings. That means none of your data will be saved.

can u plz tell me how can i save it, the data, as well as restore my windows??

That will depend on the status of your setup as it is right now. If you can boot into Windows then all you need is an external drive to move your data too. If your Windows does not boot then you are stuck using a LiveCD like Ubuntu to get your data off of the machine before you restore it.

i cannot find recoverymanager.exe in base.wim > 4 > RM or anywhere in 4, what should i do??? plz help, im so lost!!!

You need to follow the guide that Terry posted to backup your data. Then you need to contact the PC manufacturer to get the disk needed to reinstall Windows. You are trying to jump ahead steps and do a recovery without first backing up your data. You will then come back screaming at us cause you lost something important. Working on a PC is not a sprint and does not take 15 seconds to complete. It is a marathon.

If you are unsure of what you are doing, take it to someone who does. You will only regret not taking the proper steps up front.
