System images are designed for restoring your entire system at once when you have a
serious problem with Windows® 7. If you want to install particular files, folders, or other
data, use Windows® Backup.
Creating a system image
You can use a system image to restore the contents of your tablet if it ever stops working. A
system image is an exact copy of a drive and includes Windows® 7, your system settings,
programs, and files. The system image requires an external drive, such as a USB flash drive,
to store the image.

System and Security
