Getting Started

Recovering the Internal Storage Drive

When you restore your system, only the operating 
system files, applications, and drivers originally shipped 
with the computer are restored. Any files that you created 
are not restored during this process. Be sure to 
separately save the files you have created to external 
media using Windows

®

 or another backup program. For 

more information, see
