Refresh your PC (with user’s data)

Using “Refresh your PC” recovers your internal storage 
drive to factory default state and attempts to save your 
data. Toshiba does not guarantee successful data back-
up. Please make a complete back up of your data to 
external media before executing the recovery. For more 
information, see 

During the recovery process your device must be 
connected to an external power source via the AC 
adaptor.

You can recover the factory default software (refresh your 
PC), while the device will attempt to back up your data using 
the utilities stored on your device’s internal storage drive:

TECHNICAL NOTE: Your data will be copied into the 
backup folder. All of the data will be moved to this folder 
during the recovery process, however the current 
directory structure will be retained.

NOTE
