Using system restore points
When backing up the system, you are creating a system restore point. A system restore point allows
you to save and name a snapshot of your hard drive at a specific point in time. You can then recover
back to that point if you want to reverse subsequent changes made to the system.
NOTE: Recovering to an earlier restore point does not affect data files saved or e-mails created
since the last restore point.
You also can create additional restore points to provide increased protection for the system files and
settings.
When to create restore points
●
Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware
●
Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally
NOTE: If you revert to a restore point and then change your mind, you can reverse the restoration.
Create a system restore point
1. Select Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System.
2. In the left pane, click System Protection.
3. Click the System Protection tab.
4. Under Protection Settings, select the disk for which you want to create a restore point.
5. Click Create.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Restore to a previous date and time
To revert to a restore point (created at a previous date and time), when the computer was functioning
optimally, follow these steps:
1. Select Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System.
2. In the left pane, click System protection.
3. Click the System Protection tab.
4. Click System Restore.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Performing a recovery
NOTE: You can recover only files that you have previously backed up. HP recommends using
Recovery Manager to create an entire drive backup as soon as you set up the computer.
Recovery Manager software allows you to repair or restore the system if you experience system
failure or instability. Recovery Manager works from recovery discs or from a dedicated recovery
partition (select models only) on the hard drive. However, if the computer includes a solid-state drive
