Restoring the pre-installed software from your created Recovery Media

If the pre-installed files are damaged, you are able to use the Recovery Media you have created to restore the computer to the state it was in when you originally received it. To perform this restoration, follow the steps below:

When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the hard disk will be reformatted and all data will be lost.

Please make sure to use the default Boot Mode option in the BIOS setup utility before restoring.

To start BIOS Setup, press and hold the F2 key, and then turn on the computer. Release the F2 key one second after the computer is power on. If your computer does not load the BIOS Setup utility, please refer to the Troubleshooting section.

In the BIOS setup screen, select Advanced -> System Configuration -> Boot Mode -> UEFI Boot (Default).

If you set the boot mode as CSM Boot, the recovery media created by Recovery Media Creator will NOT be able to restore.

If you create a recovery image using advanced recovery tools from Control Panel, please also make sure to use the default Boot Mode option (UEFI Boot) in the BIOS setup utility before restoring.

1.Load the Recovery Media into the Optical Disc Drive or insert the recovery USB Flash Memory into one available USB port.

3.While holding down the F12 key on the keyboard, turn on your computer. Release the F12 key one second after the computer is power on.
