Using Recovery Partition
When necessary, you can restore your Windows 10 system to the factory
default state by using the “recovery partition” feature. Recovery partition is
a portion of your hard disk drive that is set aside by the manufacturer to
hold the original image of your system.
WARNING:
Using this feature will reinstall Windows to your system and configure it
to the system’s factory default settings. All data on the hard disk drive
will be lost.
Make sure that power is not interrupted during the recovery process. An
unsuccessful recovery may result in Windows startup problems.
To restore your system to the factory default state:
1.
Connect the AC adapter.
2.
Run BIOS Setup Utility. Select
Advanced
Recovery Partition
. (See
Chapter 6 for more information.)
3.
Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the process.
