Creating a backup using Windows Backup and Restore
Windows allows you to back up files using Windows Backup and Restore. You can select the level you want to
back up, from individual folders to drives. The backups are compressed to save space. To back up:
1.
Select Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Backup and Restore.
2.
Follow the on-screen instructions to schedule and create a backup.
NOTE:
Windows includes the User Account Control feature to improve the security of the computer. You
may be prompted for your permission or password for tasks such as installing software, running utilities, or
changing Windows settings. See Help and Support for more information.
To restore, see

Restore and recovery
Restoring to a previous system restore point
Sometimes installing a software program causes your computer or Windows to behave unpredictably.
Usually uninstalling the software fixes the problems. If uninstalling does not fix the problems, you can
restore the computer to a previous system restore point (created at an earlier date and time).
To restore to a previous system restore point, when the computer was running correctly:
1.
Select Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System.
2.
In the left pane, click System Protection.
3.
Click the System Protection tab.
4.
Click System Restore, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Restoring specific files
If files are accidentally deleted from the hard disk and they can no longer be restored from the Recycle Bin, or
if files become corrupt, restoring specific files is useful. Restoring specific files is also useful if you ever
choose to recover the original system using HP Recovery Manager. You can only restore specific files that you
have backed up before.
