reinstalls Windows and any pre-installed software and device drivers. If you are
able to access important files on your hard drive, back them up now.
Caution
Continuing with the full factory recovery will delete everything
on your hard drive. If your computer has multiple hard drives, recovery
will delete everything on only the primary (operating system) hard drive.
If your computer’s hard drive has multiple partitions, recovery will
delete everything on only the operating system partition.
