Restoring the factory contents by using Recovery Disc Set

When the hard disk drive (HDD) or solid state drive (SSD) is replaced because of a failure, no product recovery program is on the new drive. In this case, you must use the Recovery Disc Set for the computer. Order the Recovery Disc Set and the drive at the same time so that you can recover the new drive with the pre-installed software when they arrive. For information on which discs to order, see “Recovery discs” on page 160.

The recovery disc set consists of the user instructions and the following set of DVDs to restore the computer to the original factory configuration.

Operating System Recovery Disc (one disc)

This disc restores the Microsoft® Windows operating system. Use this disc to start the recovery process.

Applications and Drivers Recovery Disc (one or more discs)

This disc restores the preinstalled applications and drivers on the computer.

Supplemental Recovery Disc

This disc contains additional content, such as updates to the software that was preinstalled on the computer. Not all recovery disc sets come with a Supplemental Recovery Disc.
