11 Backup and recovery

To protect your information, use Windows backup and restore utilities to back up individual files and folders, back up your entire hard drive, create system repair media (select models only) by using the installed optical drive (select models only) or an optional external optical drive, or create system restore points. In case of system failure, you can use the backup files to restore the contents of your computer.

From the Start screen, type restore, click Settings, and then select from the list of displayed options.

NOTE: For detailed instructions on various backup and restore options, perform a search for these

topics in HP Support Assistant. To access HP Support Assistant, from the Start screen, select the HP Support Assistant app.

In case of system instability, HP recommends that you print the recovery procedures and save them for later use.

NOTE: Windows includes the User Account Control feature to improve the security of your computer. You may be prompted for your permission or password for tasks such as installing software, running utilities, or changing Windows settings. For more information, see HP Support Assistant. To access HP Support Assistant, from the Start screen, select the HP Support Assistant app.

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 HP Support Assistant. To access HP Support Assistant, from the Start screen, select the HP Support Assistant app.

In case of system failure or instability, the computer provides the following tools to recover your files:

●Windows recovery tools: You can use Windows Backup and Restore to recover information you have previously backed up. You can also use Windows Automatic Repair to fix problems that might prevent Windows from starting correctly.

●f11 recovery tools: You can use the f11 recovery tools to recover your original hard drive image. The image includes the Windows operating system and software programs installed at the factory.
