Recovering using HP Recovery Manager
HP Recovery Manager software allows you to recover the tablet to its original factory state by using the HP
Recovery media that you created or by using the HP Recovery partition (select models only). If you have not
already created recovery media, see
Creating HP Recovery media on page 39
.
Using HP Recovery media, you can choose from one of the following recovery options:
●
System Recovery—Reinstalls the original operating system, and then configures the settings for the
programs that were installed at the factory.
●
Factory Reset—Restores the tablet 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.
