Recovering using HP Recovery Manager

HP Recovery Manager software allows you to recover the computer to its original factory state. Using
the HP Recovery media you created, you can choose from one of the following recovery options:
System Recovery—Reinstalls the original operating system, and then configures the settings for the
●
programs that were installed at the factory.
Minimized Image Recovery—Reinstalls the operating system and all hardware-related drivers and
●
software, but not other software applications.
Factory Reset—Restores the computer to its original factory state by deleting all information from
●
the hard drive and re-creating the partitions. Then it reinstalls the operating system and the
software that was installed at the factory.
The HP Recovery partition (select models only) allows Minimized Image Recovery.

What you need to know

HP Recovery Manager recovers only software that was installed at the factory. For software not

computer issues.
