Resetting The Pc To Its Factory Settings - Medion P3 Revision 22 Operating Instructions Manual

19.3. Resetting the PC to its factory settings

In the event of problems with the installation or other software problems which
make it necessary to reinstall the software, Windows® 8 offers three options for rein-
stalling Windows® 8 on your PC.
First ensure that you have backed up all important data and programs.
19.3.1. Running system restore
 After restarting, press the F11 key or start up the PC with the F11 key held down
to launch PowerRecover.
 Click the PowerRecover Windows® 8 desktop app to run the program from the
Windows® 8 desktop.
You will be offered 3 possible options:
• Burn drivers and tools on an optical disc
Create a support disc
• Refresh your PC without affecting your files
Update your PC without deleting your data.
• Restore
Choose between two recovery options:
− Restore to HDD – no backup of user data
All data on the PC will be permanently deleted.
The factory settings will be restored.
− Restore to HDD – with backed up user data
The factory settings will be restored and all user data under C:\USER will be
backed up.
PLEASE NOTE!
Loss of data!
The recovery process takes a long time when you select
the option to back up user data. Only the data located
in the folder C:\USER will be backed up. All other data
will be deleted. Therefore, always regularly carry out a
data backup onto an external data medium. We do not
accept any liability for claims for compensation arising
from the loss of data or any consequential damages in-
curred.
 Click Next and follow the on screen instructions to restore the factory settings.
