About Recovery
Recovery is the process of restoring the built-in storage device back to its original factory condition. Refresh is the
process of reinstalling the operating system with the main settings and personal data retained.
Refresh your VAIO computer first if the computer becomes unstable. If the problem persists, recover the computer.
There are two ways to recover the computer:

Note
The 64 GB or 128 GB SSD equipped models do not support the refresh function. If you want to check the capacity of
