Backup and recovery
To protect your information, create recovery media by using an optional external flash drive and use Windows
backup and restore utilities to back up and create system restore points. In case of system failure, you can use
the backup files to restore the contents of your tablet.
IMPORTANT:
If you will be creating recovery media or using recovery media to recover your system, the
tablet battery must be at least 70% charged before you start the process.
NOTE:
For detailed instructions on various backup and restore options, perform a search for these topics in
the Get started app or Windows Help and Support.
In case of system instability, HP recommends that you print the recovery procedures and save them for later
use.
NOTE:
Windows includes the User Account Control feature to improve the security of your tablet. You may
be prompted for your permission or password for tasks such as installing software, running utilities, or
changing Windows settings. For more information, see the Get started app or Windows Help and Support.

also be used to repair the system if you replace the hard drive.
