System Recovery (Restore your laptop operating system)

When something is going wrong with the laptop operating system, the storage of the laptop has 
a hidden partition containing a full back up image of the operating system that can be used to 
restore the system to factory default settings

All ready to go

Make sure your PC is plugged in. System recovery will take a few minutes.

Recovery Guide

Note

 

˙

If the storage has been switched or the partition deleted, the recovery option will no longer be 

available and a recovery service will be needed.

 

˙

The recovery function is only available on devices with O/S preinstalled. Devices with DOS do not 

have the recovery function.

Launch System Recovery

The system recovery feature is preinstalled before the laptop is shipped from the factory. The 
option menu allows you to launch the Windows recovery tool to reinstall the operating system to 
factory default.
The brief introduction below will show you how to start the recovery tool and restore your system.
