Always perform any type of recovery using AC power. The recovery
process takes a long time when you select the option to back up user
data. Only the data located in the folder C:\USERS will be backed up.
All other data will be deleted. It is therefore important to perform
regular data backups to external data media. We do not accept any
liability for claims for compensation arising from the loss of data or any
consequential damages incurred.
PLEASE NOTE!
If your system does not start the PowerRecover program when the
F11

case, read the information in the chapter “System restore with Windows
Recovery Options”.
