Backing up your information
Recovery after a system failure is as good as your most recent backup. You should create system
repair media and your initial backup immediately after initial system setup. As you add new software
and data files, you should continue to back up your system on a regular basis to maintain a
reasonably current backup.
For more information on the Windows backup features, see Windows Help and Support.
Performing a system recovery
There are several options for recovering your system. Choose the method that best matches your
situation and level of expertise:

When your tablet is not working properly and you need to regain system stability, the Windows
Refresh option allows you to start fresh and keep what is important to you. For more information,
