General installation procedure

If your operating system is no longer functioning correctly, you can reinstall it in one of two
ways:
● With the Recovery function of the supplied USB flash drive
● With the Restore function of the supplied USB flash drive
The USB flash drive is set up as bootable for these functions. For this purpose, "USB Boot"
must be set to "enabled" in the BIOS Setup.
Note
Installing the operating system in UEFI mode
To install an operating system in UEFI mode, the USB flash drive must also be booted in
UEFI mode. Since Windows Embedded operating systems are installed in MBR mode, the
USB flash drive must be booted for the Restore function in Legacy mode.

Please note that GPT partitioning should be selected for Windows 10 (GPT: GUID Partition
Table).
