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.

Caution



Once the “Recovery” is selected, your personal

data and les will be deleted after the laptop starts

restoring, and the operating system will be reset to

factory default settings.

The recovery will be activated and you will see the option

buttons on the window. Click on “Recovery” to start it.

All ready to go

Make sure your PC is plugged in. This will take a few minutes.

A progress indicator bar will show on the window when

the recovery process is running. Please make sure the

AC-adapter is plugged in and do not turn off the laptop.

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.
