							Restore and recovery
There are 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 Help and Support. From the Start screen, type h, and then select Help and
Support. 
●If you need to correct a problem with a preinstalled application or driver, use the Drivers and
Applications Reinstall option of HP Recovery Manager to reinstall the individual application or
driver.
From the Start screen, type recovery, select HP Recovery Manager, select Drivers and
Applications Reinstall, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
●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 an automatically created restore
point. For more information and steps for using Windows System Restore, see 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, consider using Windows Refresh. This option does not require backing up data to another
drive. See 
Using Windows Refresh for quick and easy recovery on page 62.
●If you want to reset your computer to its original state, Windows provides an easy way to remove
all personal data, apps, and settings, and reinstall Windows. 
For more information, see 
Remove everything and reinstall Windows on page 62.
●If you want to reset your computer using a minimized image, you can choose the HP Minimized
Image Recovery option from the HP Recovery partition (select models only) or HP Recovery
media. Minimized Image Recovery installs only drivers and hardware-enabling applications.
Other applications included in the image continue to be available for installation through the
Drivers and Applications Reinstall option in HP Recovery Manager.
For more information, see 
Recovering using HP Recovery Manager on page 63.
●If you want to recover the computers original factory partitioning and content, you can choose
the System Recovery option from the HP Recovery partition (select models only) or use the HP
Recovery media that you created. For more information, see 
Recovering using HP Recovery
Manager on page 63. If you have not already created recovery media, see Creating HP
Recovery media on page 60.
●If you have replaced the hard drive, you can use the Factory Reset option of HP Recovery
media to restore the factory image to the replacement drive. For more information, see
Recovering using HP Recovery Manager on page 63.
●If you wish to remove the recovery partition to reclaim hard drive space, HP Recovery Manager
offers the Remove Recovery Partition option.
For more information, see 
Removing the HP Recovery partition on page 64.

							Using Windows Refresh for quick and easy recovery
When your computer is not working properly and you need to regain system stability, the Windows
Refresh option allows you to start fresh and keep what is important to you.
IMPORTANT:Refresh removes any traditional applications that were not originally installed on the
system at the factory. Any Windows 8 apps that came preinstalled on your computer and any that
were purchased from the Windows Store will be saved.
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.
NOTE:You may be prompted for your permission or password when using Refresh. See Help and
Support for more information. From the Start screen, type h, and then select Help and Support.

Recovering using HP Recovery Manager

the programs that were installed at the factory.
●Minimized Image Recovery (select models only)—Reinstalls the operating system and all
hardware-related drivers and software, but not other software applications.
●Factory Reset—Restores the computer to its original factory state by deleting all information
from the hard drive and re-creating the partitions. Then it reinstalls the operating system and the
software that was installed at the factory.
The HP Recovery partition (select models only) allows System Recovery and Minimized Image
Recovery.

issues.
●HP Recovery media must be used if the computer hard drive fails. If you have not already
created recovery media, see 
Creating HP Recovery media on page 60.
●To use the Factory Reset option, you must use HP Recovery media. If you have not already

							13 Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic discharge is the release of static electricity when two objects come into contact—for
example, the shock you receive when you walk across the carpet and touch a metal door knob.
A discharge of static electricity from fingers or other electrostatic conductors may damage electronic
components. To prevent damage to the computer, damage to a drive, or loss of information, observe
these precautions:
●If removal or installation instructions direct you to unplug the computer, first make sure that it is
properly grounded, and then remove the cover.
●Keep components in their electrostatic-safe containers until you are ready to install them.
●Avoid touching pins, leads, and circuitry. Handle electronic components as little as possible.
●Use nonmagnetic tools.
●Before handling components, discharge static electricity by touching an unpainted metal surface
of the component.
●If you remove a component, place it in an electrostatic-safe container.
