Performing A System Restore; Restoring Using The Dedicated Recovery Partition (Select Models Only) - HP ENVY 17 Maintenance And Service Manual

Performing a system restore

HP Recovery Manager software allows you to repair or restore the computer to its original factory state.
HP Recovery Manager works from recovery discs or a recovery flash drive, or from a dedicated
recovery partition (select models only) on the hard drive.
NOTE: A system restore must be performed if the computer hard drive has failed or if all attempts to
correct any functional computer issues fail. A system restore should be used as a final attempt to correct
computer issues.
Note the following when performing a system restore:
●
You can restore only the system that you have previously backed up. HP recommends that you use
HP Recovery Manager to create either a set of recovery discs or a recovery flash drive as soon as
you set up the computer.
●
Windows has its own built-in repair features, such as System Restore. If you have not already tried
these features, try them before using HP Recovery Manager.
●
HP Recovery Manager restores only software that was installed at the factory. Software not
provided with this computer must be downloaded from the manufacturer's Web site or reinstalled
from the disc provided by the manufacturer.
