System Recovery (Restore your laptop operating system)
When something is going wrong with the laptop operating system, the storage of the laptop has a hidden
partition containing a full back up image of the operating system that can be used to restore the system to
factory default settings.
Note
˙ If the storage has been switched or the partition deleted, the recovery option will no longer be available
and a recovery service will be needed.
˙ The recovery function is only available on devices with O/S preinstalled. Devices with DOS do not have
the recovery function.
Launch System Recovery
The system recovery feature is preinstalled before the laptop is shipped from the factory. The option
menu allows you to launch the Windows recovery tool to reinstall the operating system to factory
default.
The brief introduction below will show you how to start the recovery tool and restore your system.
