Note
Once you have used the System Recovery utility you will need to re-install any additional software and
hardware that you may have added. Please refer to the documentation supplied with those products for
further help.
Running System Recovery from outside of Windows
The normal method of running System Recovery is from the hard drive. However, we also advise that you
create a backup of your Recovery — just in case you need it. Please see the ‗The TechGuys Recovery
Backup‘ section.
Important!
Please save all important files and documents to an external device before you begin.
The hard drive contents will be deleted. All information that it contains will be permanently
destroyed. This includes your email, your documents, your internet favourites, and your
music & videos files.
Recovery
When the PC starts you will see a menu for two seconds. Press the UP or DOWN arrow and this will
pause the menu and allow you to choose an option.
Highlight ―The TechGuys Recovery‖ and press the Enter
key.
This will load into the recovery program.
Select ―Reinstall Windows‖ by clicking on the circle to the
left.
Click the right arrow.
Put a tick in the box next to ―Start Full Destructive
Recovery‖.
Click the right arrow to Start Recovery.
When Recovery has completed, click the right arrow to
restart the system.
Your computer will then return you to its initial out-of-box
experience.
