Recovery Guide
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.
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.
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
EFI SHELL do not have the recovery function.
All ready to go
Make sure your PC is plugged in. This will take a few minutes.
