Restoring and recovering using Windows 8 tools

Windows recovery tools provide access to several options for recovering your system. Choose the method that best matches your situation and level of expertise:

If you need to restore your personal files and data, you can use Windows File History to restore your information from the backups you created. For more information and steps for using File History, see Windows Help and Support. From the Start screen, type h, and then select Help and Support.

If you want to restore the system to a previous state without losing any personal information, Windows System Restore is an option. System Restore allows you to restore without the requirements of Windows Refresh or a reinstallation. Windows creates system restore points automatically during a Windows update and other system maintenance events. Even if you did not manually create a restore point, you can choose to restore to an automatically created restore point. For more information and steps for using Windows System Restore, see Windows Help and Support. From the Start screen, type h, and then select Help and Support.

If you want a quick and easy way to recover the system without losing your personal information, settings, or apps that came preinstalled on your computer or were purchased from the Windows Store, Windows Refresh is an option. This method does not require backing up data to another drive. See Using Windows 8 Refresh on page 165.

If you want to reset your computer to its original state, Windows Reset provides an easy way to remove all personal data, apps, and settings, and reinstall Windows. The Reset recovery tool reinstalls the operating system and HP programs and drivers that were installed at the factory. Software not installed at the factory must be reinstalled. Any personal files must be restored from backups you made. See Using Windows 8 Reset on page 166.

If the computer is unable to start, you can use the Windows recovery USB flash drive you created to recover the system. See Recovery using the Windows 8 recovery USB flash drive on page 167.

If the computer is unable to start and you did not create a recovery USB flash drive or the one you created does not work, see Recovery using Windows 8 operating system media (purchased separately) on page 168.

Using Windows 8 Refresh

NOTE: You may be prompted for your permission or password when using Refresh. See Windows

Help and Support for more information. From the Start screen, type h, and then select Help and

Support.

IMPORTANT: Refresh removes any traditional applications that were not originally installed on the system at the factory.

NOTE: During Refresh, a list of removed traditional applications will be saved so that you have a quick way to see what you might need to reinstall. See Help and Support for instructions on reinstalling traditional applications. From the Start screen, type h, and then select Help and Support.
